Because MK12 were Marc Forster guys.
I was referring to the song, if I we can call it that. The titles were ok. Not brilliant or anything. Just...meh.
Song: bah; titles: meh.
;)
I see. Didn't know a director could have any power over the decision of who to pick for the PTS. Then again, Mendes and Fukunaga got their men for the scores.
I see. I think it's still a bit over the top, though. I didn't mind the song or the titles of course. ;)
It’s been like this since GE. The director will bring in his crew of choice, and any other spots that need to be filled are done by EON. At least from GE to QOS, no director really had their own composer as a regular collaborator. For example: Campbell regularly worked with Phil Méheux as DP, so naturally he came on board for GE and CR. That’s why Roger Deakins came in as DP as he was a regular collaborator of Mendes (though turned down SP because he didn’t want to “repeat” himself).
I suspect Arnold will only be brought back by EON if a future director does not have a regular collaborator. I suspect had Boyle not bailed he would have likely brought in A. R. Rahman to do the score.
It's an OTT opinion, my own, that's for sure. Doesn't make it less true to me.
Now, the hyperbole was clearly meant as a joke ;)
I understand of course and I'm sure I hold many obtuse Bond opinions myself. Thankfully this community is a sort of "parliament of Bond opinion" so our differing opinions are all safely catered for here. :)
Exactly, one man's obtuse opinion is another man's peeve. Ain't that the very soul of the forums? ;)
There are, of course, some obtuse opinion's shared by most. And other's one doesn't even dare to dream about.
There are just a few things that tickle my nausea center when Bond is concerned. Not that this is the thread for them, but here they are just the same: Almost every minute of DUD; Bond in a clown suit; brothergate; SP's song; SP's piss filter; and most of DAF. That's about it. I can even take a double taking pigeon. But that song with falsetto and the naked Bond and the octopus just flipping irks me.
Marc Forster wanted MK12.
I was notably disappointed with the Spectre pre titles sequence. I didn't like how Kleinman used footage from the actual film. It just seemed lazy and wishy washy to to me. I felt the same with QOS.
That true of course, but specifically for pre-title sequences it's a bit unusual, given that Kleinman has worked on so many of the films.
I don't it's kleinmans fault the SF and sp titles turned out the way they did. I think it was Mendes. The actual graphics are done superbly
I must be one of the few people who likes "Writing's On The Wall". :)
How do I live ?
How do I breathe?
Ugh, how do you live with yourself before,go have a drink clear your mind (I would suggest to bond).
Lyrics never sounded very bondian to me
Still better than, "Sigmund Freud, analyse this." ;-)
But in both cases, Kleinman saves the day. His titles distract me from the lyrics.
Haha can't argue with that. I felt the same,kleinman titles are absolutely stunning. SF is his best work imo. I hope Cary put some of his ideas into the sequence.
You can do what teens do these days: whip out your phone and start toggling between all the lovely applications. ;-)
Agreed on AWTD, which is a shame because I think the song has a great riff which worked well in Arnold's score
True that, @Murdock. The problem is that Smith wrote himself a song he couldn't properly sing. Sheryl Crow made a similar mistake back in '97.
Yeah, I like the instrumental version of WOTW by I never enjoyed Crow's song for TND. Surrender would have been much more ideal for the titles.
