Strangely those same people are being moved into insane asylums. What a coincidence...
That is probably the only foreseeable way at the moment to see the franchise end.
<font color=blue size=7><b>David Arnold performs better for films outside the Bond series than for the 007 adventures.</b></font>
I am no great fan of his work for the 007 franchise, he mostly about rearrangements in the drum and bass style. When he got the chance to do original work that could be the new standard he did give us some nice tunes but overal the soundtracks were mostly forgetable.
I strongly dislike his remix of the Doctor Who theme for the 8th Doctor.
His music for the Moffat/Gattis Sherlock series however is the proof he can do better. So it is surprising how he managed to fail so spectacular before.
That said, the original Stargate theme is fairly decent, but the rearrengement by different composers (for the tv show) gave the piece a better balance.
I would say that as a composer for tv DA has far more succes creativily than for the movies. so agreed.
Please read my reply, sir. Also, there's a waiting list for topics. ;-)
<font color=blue size=7><b>The title 'TomorrowNeverDies' has absolutely no meaning whatsoever.</b></font>
Tomorrow Never Lies can be a nice subtitle for a future Bond movie, if Eon whant to make a movie in the legacy of Eliot Carver.
Yesterday is history, today is a memory, You know the rest / Yesterday is history, today is a memory,what it be tomorrow ? / The Lies of yesterday are the future of tomorrow.. :^o
All you had to do was say so. I didn't know there was a waiting list.
As for the current topic I agree. The original title would've made perfect sense. But they changed it just because this one sounded cooler.
But is that enough to have it make sense, I wonder? ;-)
How doesn't it make sense? It's ironic as all the "Tomorrow" newspaper seems to do it lie, while assuring us that they don't. The title they used seemed to me like a cheap excuse to get the word "Die" or in this case a variation of the word into the title.
So, the very filmed being named Tomorrow Never Lies is like the headline of a newspaper attempting to make its readers believe that it is reputable? I can see that.
The whole arguement is, apparently is was going to be called 'Tomorrow Never Lies' then they changed it, with the whole media group thing and newspaper headlines. Above all else, it's a poor title, for a poor movie, and a poor James Bond that year (1997) I'm afraid, there's no sense in lying
Maybe the title does have a certain amount of meaning - but I can't look beyond, well, it's as silly as hell really.. Thesis seems correct

<font color=blue size=7><b>Kevin McClory's acts of bitterness towards EON eventually exceeded the injustice that may have been done to him.</b></font>
I perhaps I'm not the most informed person on that matter but I will give my humble opinion anyway.
My argument has always been that it's true, McClory and the other guy help to develop the story of Thunderball and SPECTRE. Fleming was very naive (I don't think deliberately bad) in not giving them the proper credits.
But, and this is my position, McClory should had no rights over the James Bond character and all the elements Fleming previoulsly created. So he could not have made Never Say Never Again, at least with Bond, Moneypenny, M, ecc. He even was credited producer of TB, one of the most succesfull movies, so earning a lot of money, I imagine.
And I know that it is business... but not everything. For McClory was personal. And the whole thing with Connery was also I mix of business and personal vengence.
So while I understand the motive and the rationality, I don't condone it. He went too far out of hate. Agree with T-126.
Fleming tried to screw him out of his rights and probably so did EON. In the end he wanted what was his and the other folks were not going to pay for it if they could help him.
