• Quantum of Solace Villain Based On Dick Cheney?

  Depending on who you ask, Dominic Greene, Mathieu Amalric's water-coveting villain in the new James Bond flick Quantum of Solace, is modeled after either Vice President Dick Cheney, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, or former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

  Whatever the case, if Greene is serious about besting the great 007, he might want to have a look at The Top 10 Worst-Laid Plans of Bond Villains and study the mistakes of his predecessors, lest he share the same fate as Le Chiffre (the bleeding-eye guy in Casino Royale.)

• New Bond baddie cast

  The next installment of the James Bond series has its villian. French actor Mathieu Amalric will play 007's primary nemesis in James Bond 22, which makes perfect sense because we all know that all French people are inherently evil.

  Amalric recently wowed audiences with his performance as paralyzed stroke victim Jean-Dominique Beauby in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, leaving us to conclude that he will attempt to fell Bond in this movie with his all-powerful eyelid.
