I do hope some photographer is at hand, for the book, I mean, Greg Williams or someone.
Since when is predicting that a certain actor will only have a small role in the film trolling?! @JamesCraig I'm getting really fed up with your BS.
That is your opinion and others, the instrumental is nothing special and feels like someone trying to do a Bond theme. It only gets people raving about it because it's one of the most melodic part of Newman's score to SP.
The song is bloody awful to my ears and Smith's falsetto is pretty weak. I have no problem with the that style of singing, now if it had been Mark Almond or David Mcalmont who have much stronger voices then thing might be different.
Although the subject of the song just doesn't ring true with the film, that element isn't that convincing, I just don't believe that Madeline is that important to Bond.
Maybe Bond 25 will address that we will see but I hope it isn't the flavour of the month again, although I fear it will be another initially big smash that has no longevity.
Smith was not picked because someone thought he needs to do a Bond theme because it's just so right, he was picked because he was the hottest thing around.
If EON continue down that route they'll continue to get big hits but songs that will be just famous for being part of the film, whereas YKMN continues to age like fine wine and sends shivers down the spine, Smith's song is instantly forgettable.
What is his musical tastes? I would assume eclectic, but is there anything that hints at a direction for the title song?
I actually have no ideia. I'm just assuming his aesthetics transcend the visual and that he has some taste in music or, at least, some cultural or historical notion of what the Bond sound should be.
I seriously hope not my friend, it depends on how much EON wants a smash hit, which is understandable but it might be at the expense of giving the film a song that is suitable.
I just think that it's about the impact of the artist and not really about their suitability any more.
True, and a crying shame that is.
If only they could have it both ways. Adele seemed to work, although I'm not a fan. But I did enjoy the tune. Last tune I really enjoyed was David Arnold's QOS with Shirley Bassey :( Before that, CR of course.

And is that Bond with a Browning Hi-Power? Old school
I know White's tune is much derided but I'm biased being a fan but YKMN is the crowning achievement of this era.
I would just like something a bit balls out to end the Craig era, Arctic Monkeys would be fantastic, although I'm afraid it's Dua Lipa or whatever her name is.
What spoilers? :)
Can we please get back to Bond 25 discussion?
Yes yes yes I am getting Dr NO+THUNDERBALL+ Die Another day vibe from those photos, is bond finally smoking or was it just BTS I hope they are shooting him smoking long overdue
Fleming would be proud ;)
Shaking my head
Which was not really written for QoS
I wouldn't do it too much it might fall off.
Not for this thread, this, but pray tell. I was told by inumemos sources that it was, and then rejected for the White song. Why would they have Quantum in the lyrics if not so? Latin fever? I think not.

Yep, I stand corrected. It was Solace not Quantum. Coincidence, I think not ;)
