In fact one of them went onto be used for GOLDENEYE.
Well yes; he decided to support Trump. We saw them publicly meeting in Scotland in 2016, just before Ailes got dumped out of Fox News and replaced by Murdoch himself. (There are stories that Ailes warned Trump about the difficult questions on the Fox republican debate but those are disputed even by Trump’s now enemies). Ivanka apparently tried to get Murdoch onboard in 2015 but he indeed was against DT at that point, but he swung around.
That’s why I think this is fertile stuff for Bond villains: it almost seems a shame in a way they’ve used it already for Carver.
He swung around when the primaries were down to three candidates, and Trump had the largest plurality. Murdoch didn't persuade the critical mass of Republicans to support Trump: it's nearly the other way around. Again, you can see the following their viewers in real time as they try not to lose them to OAN and Newsmax.
He certainly would have made efforts to try to make Never Trump Republicans though.
More on topic, I would like EON to stay away from corporate tycoon bad guys for a while. Given how many folks think Bill Gates wants to microchip them via vaccine, or that arms dealers control the mass media, or that TND is a mild embellishment of the modern world, I don't think conspiracism needs any more mental fodder!
Also, I stated before that I think TND gets WAY too much credit for being somehow ahead of its time. Given the way the film has no awareness of digital media, nor of the fact that the traditional mainstream press has less power to persuade than it ever has, it just totally misses the mark. But Daniel Kleinman was somehow on the ball! His title sequence is full of digital imagery that is actually incongruent with the actual content of the film, but does represent what people want the film to retrospectively be about.
I always think he's great at everything in the title sequences except the actual titles...
Sometimes there are very large gaps between things that would not normally have huge gaps between them. Between "Performed by" and "Garbage" for example. Or how far the word "presents" is from the rest. It's unique to Kleinman's Brosnan films.
Like how this:
looks weird compared to this:
Perhaps that is why I like MK12’s custom font for QoS
Maybe that's what happened? ;)
You just can't get the staff these days. ;)
He follows orders, not typographical instincts. :)
That’s why I don’t like the animated QOS font, it distracts from what should be interesting visuals (though even they are subpar). The only exception is FRWL.
I would argue that the "Quantum" typeface is the ONLY good thing about the MK12 title sequence :)) I've said it a million and a half times, but it's the worst of the series by about ten miles from whatever comes 23rd. Hell, the Never Say Never Again title sequence is better and that's just a bunch of 007's zooming in towards the screen! :)) :)) :))
Why?
Absolutely. MK12 smashed it. The only thing I would imagine anyone NOT liking is the font. It's got great energy, and while I really do love Danny Kleinman's work, MK12 avoided some of the really on-the-nose political cartoon-style symbolism Danny sometimes does. (Actually labeling a tombstone with Bond's name is particularly cringey)
Exactly!
