TLD and LTK were great movies and way above Brosnan films. I don't need to see Roger Ebert's review, I saw the Brosnan movies and they were all varying degrees of terrible. DAD deserves a negative number. Wait, are you being facetious? You got me.
So they may have just got the idea of the title from that .
Quite.
This would be done with EON's blessing. Even if all we get from Dan is 'I'm still waiting to see what happens with the distribution deal' he would have discussed what he might say with Babs.
Unless of course he's already resigned in which case he can say what he likes.
'Bond and Beyond' is the tag for TSWLM - which is where those mentioned above have taken their name.
Thanks, I'm now thinking about, Beyond The Ice...
FFS.
And Avatar remember that one?
Presume some said 'There's a script being talked Avatar but it's all top secret.' And some tabloid mug put two and two together and came up with the new Bond film rather than Cameron's smurf epic.
Oh, how I can't wait for all that shite to kick in again. A whole new bunch of douche 'Bond' fans perpetuating baseless crap.
A pretty scathing (but accurate) critique on some of our more recent members on here old son.
How's that for facetious?
I think you are presuming a bit too much here. "Casino Royale" actually was at 7.9 in 2014....and went up again during the same year. The 8.0-rating has been rock-solid since 2008 more or less.
Same with "Skyfall"....has been at 7.8 for several years now.
And why is that? If you know a bit of statistics, there isn't much chance of these movies sinking anymore. Simply, because the voting sample has become too big. Look at the amount of voters. All well past the 275,000 IMD members who voted. It's like an exponential curve going downwards. If you received votes from 275,000 people between 2012 and 2016, the hances becomes very slim that between 2016 and 2012 another 275,00 will vote. It will most likely be fewer than 50,000 voters, hence the already rock solid ratings.

@DavidGArnold Dear David, DO #Bond25 !!!!!! I need you back. We need you back. The universe needs you back.
@shellacsruler if they ask!!
David Arnold is a great guy. He usually replies to tweets. He even replied to mine which was awesome (a while back).
???
What does Arnold have to prove to EON? He's only just scored five films for them before, and it sounds like their working relationship went perfectly smoothly. The only reason he wasn't asked for Skyfall/Spectre is because Mendes wanted Newman, and Arnold was publicly gracious in response to that. What exactly does he have to prove to EON again?
And yes, he's still composing for Sherlock and various lower profile films. Over the past couple years, he's also been putting on concerts of his body of film work.
I'm still of the opinion that the choice of composer will be impacted greatly by the director and by the composer's recent body of work. Apart from a few legends who can go on composing great themes until the end, artist's style change and the quality of their output also varies. It's been 8 years since QoS.
Sherlock, of course, is excellent fun. Voyage of the Dawn Treader featured strong moments of orchestral action and adventure writing. The sci-fi comedy Paul also provided room for some surprisingly moving music from Arnold. That's the extent of my familiarity with his work post-QoS.
Composers' styles do tend to change over time, but I certainly wouldn't say the majority of composers that I'm familiar with see a drop-off in quality as time goes on. At any rate, as many seem to be of the opinion that QoS was one of Arnold's best Bond scores—if not his best—I see no reason to doubt he will continue to excel with Bond.
I wasn't aware that he had done Sherlock even though I've watched the first three seasons. I'll rewatch them soon to get a better idea of my take on his current form.
I think to this day, Arnold's best score in my honest opinion remains TND. His first.
