Hopefully next time we´ll get some classic Bond stuff instead of a weak love song made by Mickey Mouse.
Amen to that.
WOTW works fantastically on the titles, Kleinman outdid himself!
Haven't been on this thread for a while. I thought the song was rather nice over the titles. I'm sure a lot of the Bond songs were love songs and maybe didn't fit the tone of the film. Then again I don't dig too deep on these matters.
Addressing your point I have highlighted I think it's fair to say that people who don't like a Bond film, or song, or actor tend to shout louder than people who do like them. Or at least repeat their views ad infinitum until everyone simply goes away.
Not aimed at you @patb, as I say I haven't visited this thread, but that's usually what I find with these matters.
I actually see it a little differently @NicNac. If someone likes something, it's normally an 'emotional' like. That's harder to justify intellectually. Those who dislike something, normally have more rationally & justifiably solid viewpoints because they are not clouded by emotion (very few people here really 'hate' on something Bond.....since we are all fans in one way shape or form here after all), at least imho.
I've seen that in the SF threads, in the Brosnan and Moore threads, and now with SP.
I've also seen it despite what side of the fence I happen to fall on, ..... emotionally.
Yes this puzzled me as well. I can only surmise that Mendes ended up editing the film in such a way that it wasn't nearly as somber and foreboding as he intended it to be.
Jiminy Cricket, it really is awful, but agree that it somehow works with the beautiful title sequence.
You could be right, because if someone agrees with me I don't feel the need to reply or take it further. If someone is passionately against a song or film I tend to want to defend it, and I take more interest. And as you say, they have a more lucid argument to offer. Having said that I found in the SF thread that some of the negative points were hammered at us over and over for months by the same 2 or 3 people, to an extent that it drove me to the point of resigning. Luckily Moneypenny changed my letter. ;)
This is too much %-(
I guess B25 will have a tropical house theme...
How is it not?
"Black ocean, cold and dark
I am the hungry shark, fast and merciless
But the only girl that could talk to him just couldn't swim
Tell me what's worse than this"
"I've seen your best and worst
And at your worst, you're still the best
But at my best, I am the worst
It's a curse"
"I can't fucking breathe, much less believe the truth
I pick up a gun, aim for the sun, and shoot
Better days, so unafraid in my youth
I can't breathe or believe the truth"
Totally agree. The David Arnold factor once again.
How deep. Did they ask Tennyson to write the lyrics?
Well I enjoy it.
Think I found Sam Smith's inspiration for WOTW. Listen at about 2:25(for about 30 seconds or as long as you can handle before it drives you insane! It even has a bit of falsetto in there for good measure!) ;)
