Thank you.
Thank you
And how do you know what I know about the topic of music?
Honestly I could be Thomas Newman for all you know honestly though I have been playing guitar for 25 years bass for 20 keyboards for 15 etc but yeah I know nothing so how many instruments can you play
There's a certain irony in advising against ignorance, ignorantly.
The Potter franchise. Fantastic Beasts didn't do too shabby and was well received. The first one, at least, not the latest one. Don't know if that fits the bill. I'll think of others. Wait, but that one had a continuity, albeit being prequels. So...no, because no other had the Bond formula. I think. It's late here ;)
I could always be wrong, but I will bet SP is not in B25.
(I hope it's not as well)
I'm obviously a dummy. What's the question here:
"give me an example of one 'self contained' multi-film series which ended on a 'high' note critically and then successfully rebooted with the immediately following film (as opposed to the successor getting critically panned and then having to reset again after a few films)? "...
Are you talking an Alien self-contained series that then went back to Ridley Scott's re-boots?
And I don't think I saw your original post , so I have to ask, @bondjames , what and how does this relate to Bond and B25? Once again, so that text doesn't misconstrue, I'm genuinely asking and not being sarcastic.
Great question - tough to answer. I had jumped to Star Trek as an answer but then I remembered that Nemesis was the previous film to the 2009 film.
I'm asking about whether a self contained multi-film series with a continuing narrative has ever finished with a critically acclaimed last entry and then continued on with a reboot in the next entry in a successful critical fashion. If you know of any, let us know.
On TV-- Dr Who...?
But, as interesting as this is, is this something to do with B25 and 007's future? (I'm only saying this since maybe this is a genuine new thread?).
Quite.
It has as much to do with OO7's future as the numerous things we discuss on this thread, and certainly more so than a lot of other topics we enjoy here. If you think of any example, feel free to let me know. I'm genuinely interested. There is hopefully one.
Outside of my reply, I have no idea what you're asking and how this applies to James Bond.
When DC is done and a new actor takes over, regardless of what happened in the "prior contained time-line", audiences will flock to a new 007 film.
Again, so text doesn't rob me of my curious question, I'm not being sarcastic. How does this apply to B25 and the future??
It's like those books, this time entitled "Bond For Dummies", but for Peter Sheldrick.
Your not a dummy I on the other hand have to wear a fake mustache to seem smart
I just asked a specific question. I don't need an answer, but if anyone has one, I'd appreciate it No biggie otherwise. Just ignore if you don't know. Your observations on how it relates to the thread have been noted, but it's not the question I asked.
Regarding your point about audiences flocking, we all certainly realize that. We are talking about the most financially successful continuously running series in history.
So lets move this question onto a new thread, and not on the B25 thread-- fair?
And according to my wife, I'm stone-ages-Fred-Flinstone dummy, but-
She loves me anyways... And I benefit...
That's DAD @bondjames , and you rejected that.
I'm still wondering what your point is, vis a vis, this thread (B25 thread; this next film is not a "re-boot", so why is this question posed, and how is it related to B25? If there's a reason, please state why it belongs here and the association to the new film, if not; this question belongs in a new thread.)
I look forward to anyone else's thoughts on my question. If nothing jumps out, just ignore please.
How does your question pertain to B25-- since this is the thread for the next film...?
Then perhaps we have a source, a subject to rely on, like Malcolm Gladwell discusses in Blink? Your question needs to anchor itself so we can better respond and perhaps come up with a better answer than DAD...
I don't see why Newman would be immune to such polarisation, considering the rather equally split quality of his output.
But that makes sooooo much sense, @fjdinardo !!
Why are you not saying this next 007 film has the potential to be utter crap?? Like "many" on this site???
(I joke of course and I agree)
(Since you ask) Only one, but I happen to make my living from playing it professionaly and have a master degree in music performance. I have also taken courses in various compositional techniques. But that is not the point. I don't claim to have a special athouroty on musical opinion, and I don't claim it is not a matter subjective taste. I read a lot of weird descriptions of the Skyfall score on these boards though...
Your reaction of anger towards a simple reminder that notable musicians rate the Skyfall score highly, made me think you were not exactly the modest type and probably not very interested in music to begin with...
A few quick points
1. For me I will perpetually be a beginner no matter what success my future when you realize Steve Howe at what 26,27 did close to the edge. It’s insane as a musician I assume your aware of the 1972 album
2. Music is my world always has been always will be
3. I am quite modest
4. I understand you like Thomas Newman and I am glad you do I do own a few tracks from both Skyfall and spectre’s soundtrscks but neither one are the best
