"Quantum Of Solace" Bond Girl's Dramatic Death By Oil

Daily Mail:

It's not unusual for Bond Girls to be bumped off in bizarre ways...but none has met a stickier end than this.

In the new 007 movie Quantum Of Solace, Gemma Arterton's character is drowned in crude oil and her lifeless body is left draped over a bed in a scene deliberately reminiscent of the 1964 Bond classic Goldfinger.

Arterton, who plays an MI6 spy ordered to keep an eye on a renegade Bond, was covered from head to toe in sticky black liquid for the dramatic sequence.

She said: 'I couldn't move. I couldn't see, I couldn't breathe or hear because it went in my ears. It was unpleasant, but it's something I'll always remember and it will be an iconic part of the film.'

Producers will be hoping the image turns out to be as enduring as the memorable Sixties scene which inspired it.

Why is this spoiler right on the front page of the Entertainment section? If you're going to ruin a plot element of a movie, could you at least give readers a warning and the option not to have part of the movie spoiled for them?

It's not likely that this is a "spoiler". The "Goldfinger girl" photo was used as advertising for that movie. It's probably just one scene that doesn't give anything away about the overall plot of the movie, just as the gold-painted girl had nothing to do with the plot of "Goldfinger".

Dang. I forgot about common sense logic. Thanks for the edification...
