I just mean their songs were both slow, sultry and more melancholic than Cornell or Alicia + Jack. I was speaking in context of the films' songs.
Considering we've been at roughly 2 and a half hour runtimes with three out of four Craig films so far, I don't see an extra half hour of material being out of the question. As long as it serves the story and it's paced appropriately then I don't see it being a problem. It certainly didn't hurt The Avengers.
I’ve no doubt that Hans Zimmer can go ethnic-influenced for the scenes in Cuba and Jamaica. I was just listening to the track “Seville” from Mission: Impossible 2 and it’s fantastic: percussive with Latin flamenco elements. I think the major misconception about Zimmer is that his sound is purely bold and electronic droning without much melody/rhythm. But he’s so much more varied in his sound than people give him credit for. The fact that he’s collaborating with Billie Eilish gives me hope that, for the first time in a long time we’ll get a Bond song properly weaved throughout the score.
Exactly....I also think NTTD's score could be the best Bond score since TLD. coz they seem to be so much collaboration going on. And that gives the score a unified Voice. Something Newman could easily have done to give his score a stellar sound....but for some reason chose not to....even when he was chosen much earlier than Zimmer.
All of Craig's films apart from QOS have been too long. For me they all drag to a greater or lesser extent and losing 20 minutes would have improved CR, SF and SP.
I can't see adding even more running time is going to work.
It's a shame but for me the Craig films don't have massive rewatch value. They're pretty well made and all of them are several notches above the Brosnan era in terms of acting and production values, but they're also very often over long and (dare I say it) a touch boring. I think most would agree about that in terms of SP but I find parts of CR and a lot of SF to be just drawn out padding.
NTTD may be an exception. CJF is a brilliant storyteller and maybe the plot is just going to be so strong that it warrants a long run time. But I don't welcome it for the sake of it.
The only DC film that outstays its welcome for me is SPECTRE and that is after the PTS.
I've never got that CR or SF are overlong at all.
I don't disagree. Even as a fan of SPECTRE I still find its pacing to be very inconsistent. I don't feel that way about CR or Skyfall though but to each their own of course. QOS is my least favourite of the Craig films but I also agree that it has the most rewatch value just for the shorter run time. That said, I'll happily make time for CR and Skyfall just the same.
I just wouldn't rule out an even longer run time this time around, rumours or not. I mean, if there was ever a time we'd be getting a three hour Bond film, it's now at the end of the Craig era. I have good faith in Fukunaga that the film will be well paced and serve the story.
Ah, then you are right. It would be interesting to see what kind of song Billie is going to sing.
+1
I feel that EON turns in its best work when there’s something to prove. It would have been so easy for Bond 25 to just ignore the events in Spectre but the producer’s (Craig and Fukunaga too) must feel confident in continuing down the path that Spectre paved.
Congrats to #PhoebeWallerBridge for winning an @sagawards last night for #BestActress in a #comedy series for @bbcfleabag. 🏆 Fleabag costar & Bond alumni #AndrewScott was on hand to share in the celebrations. The British talent seems to be going from strength to strength, and has written the #screenplay for the upcoming #NoTimeToDie - and with all this award winning, we can’t wait! 😆 .
Well, prepare to be disappointed.
Bond was actually there at the time though: he knows it’s true!
:)
...before revealing they're REALLY biological brothers.

Written by JJ Abrams and Chris Terrio seems more appropriate...
Yup, definitely.
I'm also looking forward to that scene so will finally get settled on whether Blofeld said "it'll be the death of you" or "it'll be the death of him" (hint: it's the former)
I saw the trailer on the big screen, prior to the excellent 1917, with 5 other people, all heard “him” 🤔
Haha I've actually flipped on this; watched the trailer countless times and was on your side, but my girlfriend (raised in Southampton and in Germany, where her family currently resides) watched it with me and told me it was "you", we watched it together and talked a lot about it (lol nerds) and I've come to the "you" side. Sorry Talos!
EDIT: She also knew basically right away why Americans might interpret it as "him".
