So you're saying Turners been confirmed ? !!!
I've ordered And Then There Were None from Amazon UK & so will finally be able to chime in on my view of whether he's got what it takes.
Concerning Smith, I do like WOTW but it simply doesn't fit Spectre at all.
James Bond should have a badass theme, one that makes you want to pout your lips like Daniel Craig. Not one you have to slow dance to.
Radiohead could have been amazing had they done something like Climbing Up the Walls, Big Boots, The Daily Mail.
Bond should always have a badass theme song. The song should fit the narrative of the man in action against his mission objectives and the dangers he faces while glorifying it with Bondian jazzy brasses and some consistent melody. Not random notes.
That was so convincing you had me worried for a second that it was real.
100% sober, cross my heart. *hick*
It was an effort to provide a modern love ballad as styled like the songs for YOLT, DAF, and TSLM, which I think it succeeds at. It's also the only one of those types of songs to reflect the film it's accompanying, unlike the others which are really just random love songs, albeit not bad ones. Craig's era already had a rock'n'roll anthem song after LALD and TB and a more vintage female belter after GF, DAF and MR, so I'm glad they completed the set with a love ballad. The era comprises basically all forms of Bond songs we can classify.
Now we're back on topic.
So how's your sex life?
Turner's an actor?
I'd prefer Gillian Anderson to him. Seriously.
There was a rag rumor about her being Jane Bond last year. Seriously.
I think so. Naturally, I don't give those bits of "news" the time of day. But I think it was a report saying Anderson wanted to be Bond #7 and all that rubbish. Just another SJW pushing agenda.
Tempus Fugit
I posted a yes video
Ah, thanks for the background. Yes, that is essentially entertainment journalism in a nutshell. A "journalist" reads a random comment from a director saying they like James Bond, and the writer then turns in an article that confirms that the director is in heavy consideration for the job in the next film. Fanboys and girls don't think to look into its truth and eat it up, the rumor spreads and becomes fact in the minds of the masses. Then these fans all get upset when the lie they told themselves never turns out to be true in the end.
Which has a very high chance to happen with this Nolan business. People instantly think it's a high possibility, near confirmed. And now, any other director named for the job of helming Bond 25 will be met with mewls of, "They're fine, but they're not Noooolan." So utterly predictable.
I read that entire post as if Jonathan pryce wrote it
I think in the case of SP and SF this as much reflects an unwillingness on Newman's part to collaborate with the title song artist/composer as anything.
Newman is temperamentally unsuited to scoring Bond, which is traditionally a collaborative endeavour.
Look at TLD for contrast, where Barry worked with some bloody awkward 80s flash in the pan artists and managed to deliver an amazing title song and score. And that while also working with Chrissie Hynde on other songs and music for the film. Contrast couldn't be starker in terms of quality.
Conversation usually meanders and bends and transmorgifies - its what makes human interaction so beautiful and interesting. Like this here thread. Don't be a kill joy old chap.
Cue threats of being banned etc.
