    Let us get Wint and Kidd back, please. And Max the parrot as well.

    Really? I was more hoping for the hotel rat from spectre to make a reappearance. He’s so helpful. I’m thinking double o status

    Yep, that would be great. Perhaps the main title song and secondary end credits song both weaving throughout the film would be cool. And more of the Bond theme!

    Let's also see Dan get his underwater scuba action scene!

    Wint and Kidd could be "rebooted" with a faithful adaptation of DAF.

    Now that you mention sharks, I was rewatching Thunderball yesterday and noticed the scene where Largo feds Quist to the Golden Grotto sharks. I keep thinking we need that kind of stuff again: a leading villain cruelly killing a henchman who fails or betrays him - last time it was properly done was in LTK. We could consider Le Chiffre and Greene as getting killed for failing Quantum by Mr. White, but we barely saw that. A send-off like Largo to Quist would be a great way to give the villain an aura of menace (something all the Craig villains needed, desperately).

    Ok my wish list as we get closer knowing things



    1. A fleming title Preferably The Hildebrand Rarity, The Garden of Death or Risico
    2. a rock and roll title song , Preferably by Geddy Lee or U2
    3. a more serious tone ala From Russia with love or Casino Royale
    4. Ski Chase
    5. Hot girls
    6. ending where Bond is 007 again (similar to how Skyfall ended)


    I get those 6 things I am happy

    I predict you could get only N. 3... and/or maybe N. 2 (just for the rock part) and N. 5 (since Bond girls always seemed hot to me). XD

    I don't want rock and roll associated with Bond. Bond is bound to remain with the classy and elegant people. Not leather jacket biker gangs who yell and curse by doing monkey business night and day.

    Sorry but we must agree to disagree the only themes I really love are the rock ones specifically

    On Her majesties Secret Service
    Live and Let Die
    A view to a Kill
    The Living Daylights
    Goldeneye
    The World Is not enough
    You Know My name
    and
    Another Way to Die

    Most of those are not rock music.

    OHMSS is Jazz themed. AVTAK, TLD, GE and TWINE are Pop music.

    The only decent in the rock genre that comes close to what it's defined by is YKMN, and even that was toned down to sound more like a Pop music song for the theatrical cut, which I prefer over the other versions released on albums.

    LALD and Another Way To Die, I can live without.

    Bond songs should always be modeled after GF and TB. Those are what define a Bond song.

    Not sure if I'm on a minority, but I do hope Bond can wear a double breasted suit once again in Bond 25, either a suit or the dinner jacket (Moore style). Last time we had one was the Monaco blazer from GoldenEye.

    Here's Daniel wearing a double breasted suit during a SPECTRE photocall in Rome:

    Agreed.

    John barry agrees with me for crying out loud...

    Each bond has his own sound

    Connery was Brass
    Lazenby was Synthesizer
    Moore was Strings
    Dalton was Bass
    Brosnan I would argue Electronic Keyboard
    Craig Electric guitar


    when you put one Bond's sound on another it just sounds wrong to my ears which is why Skyfall and Writing on the Wall didn't work for me it goes against Craig's sound and why though I hate Die another day it works for Brosnan's Bond.


    and Rock can be classy it's not like I want AC DC or Kiss to do the theme but Classy prog rock musicans like


    Geddy Lee
    Yes
    Muse
    Neal Morse
    Jon Anderson
    David Gilmour
    or maybe the Who
    or an instrumental with Brian May as the composer.

    AC/DC? You must be joking. Might as well bring metalheads.

    The Bonds under Barry aren’t really different. Updated with little bit of variety perhaps, but they first and foremost had the unique sound of jazz as the foundation of their musical roots. Only YKMN in the modern era had some rock leanings, but there’s a reason the theatrical version is better than the album version. More classic orchestral philharmonia, less unwanted electric guitar bass noise. One of the reasons I’m not fond of LALD is because it does exactly what I described a couple of posts ago. Monkey business and a lot of noise.

    Since it's Timonthy 's birthday today, I would like a fight scene which doesn't involve bond like the one in TLD for bond 25.

    Sorry. Sometimes, some layouts are difficult to follow, especially in the morning. My bad.

    Again, while some of those are good on their own, they're not Bond material. Some of them would work greatly for eighties films, especially Cage of Freedom (and with Giorgio Moroder, no less! I'm a fan of his). But, that one isn't exactly rock. I'd say that's Pop. Muse's rendition of "Feeling Good", however, is my least favourite cover of the song. It suits for a post-apocalyptic thriller, etc. But, that's not the way to go for Bond. It's got a hellish tone that's as far you can get from Bond.

    This is how a Bond tune should sound:

    Longevity is hit or miss with the Bond films. Of the four longer Bond films, I would say that three (OHMSS, CR, SF) utilize the extended runtime effectively. SP certainly did not. DN and QOS both, again, in my estimation, benefit significantly from the tighter runtimes. And I’ve long held that the Glen films would almost all have been Top Ten worthy if they had been edited down dramatically.

    I say shorter is the way to go. Save the longer running time for the occasional storyline that warrants that treatment. Not four out of five films.

    Agreed. I love that CR and SF are longer films but I want a tighter runtime (110-130 mins) for B25. Especially after SP.

    How about an animal threat? Considering where Bond is headed, it could be a great opportunity to have him take on the giant squid. Not with CGI though, thanks. Puppets and animatronics.
