I also saw the music video to Sam Smith's "Writing's On The Wall". And while the song left 'us' with mixed feelings -it's certainly a 'grower'- the videoclip is absolutely incredibly good! It really focuses on the drama in "SPECTRE". And it WORKS! My god, I really felt touched by both Monica Bellucci's and Lea Séydoux's performances. A bruised Lucia Sciarra, who can barely walk with her whiskey. That little playfulness Madeleine Swann has towards 007 with that curtain in between is just....it really puts a smile on my face :-D! It's so incredible.
And then there's -again- Hoyte's cinematography. Absolutely breathtaking. You can...feel this energy from both cast and crew, basically screaming to all of us: "We. Made. The. Best. Bond. Film!" And it's not a cliché line anymore...My God, and it feels like 20 years until "SPECTRE" premieres! This is NOT going to be "SkyFall Part 2". This is going to be "SPECTRE"! Eat your heart out you wanna-be-Bond-franchises "Mission: Impossible", "Kingsman" and "Furious 7" :-)!

Agreed as well. I don't think I've ever been more excited for a Bond film.
I didn't like Skyfall either ,
and this footage from the music looks very promising
But when I re-watched it a month or so ago I realised the sum of all parts are better than the parts.
I moved it from No 13 to 7 in my ranking. But it may well go down again when I re-watch it the next time, that movie is very uneven.
Same,
from what I've seen so far , I don't think it'll be on the level of Quantum Of Solace or Casino Royale for me but I am sure I won't come back disappointed like how I felt with Skyfall .
The shot in the music video where he cocks his gun and stands next to lea is just amazing
That's just one of many effortless badass moments from Craig.
Haha Very True ,
I think Craig looks his best in all 4 movies when has that "Don't mess with me" look on his face

I've always been puzzled by and curious of this ranking business. Do you all do it? Is it a male thing or women do it, too? Why do you do it? Do people do it with many other things besides Bond movies or other things Bond (- I've seen it done at least with at least other movies)? I've never done it, it seems sort of exotic and alien to me, I don't understand why people do it, what they get from it. I assume it must be worthwhile and interesting to those who do it since they even think about doing it. It seems very common here, people talk about ranking this and that all the time. Anyone care to comment to a confused observer? :)
Top 3 Bond fans like to do :
#1 - Bond rankings
:)
[FYI, I don't do rankings either, but I've been asked repeatedly to do by some ranking aficionados, as if I wasn't a fan if I had not one !]
I have tried and never succeeded to rank the Bonds, so I gave up a few years ago. Mainly because my feelings for the films go up and down on a consistent basis. I sort of admire anyone who has clinical views and can put 23 films in an order of preference.
I haven't. Men love lists? Was any reason given? What's to love in a... list?
And @NicNac, but at least you tried, so you must have felt the need to do it for some reason, which is what really confuses me about people doing it. I agree it's sort of admirable people even can, but why do they even want to... Do you rank other movies or things?

Daniel Craig et Léa Seydoux inaugureront offciellement le nouvel escalator du #GrandRex le 29 Octobre! #IronScalator
Let's start with Mexico:
Those shots posted on the board which desaturate the colour as beyond bland. They are truly inspiring and rather pedestrian. There is something exotic about the Mexico photography, just from the trailers I can sense the dusty and polluted landscape on display. Comments suggesting that the filmmakers are retreating and attempting to follow trends are clearly not in the know.
Hoyte and Mendes's compositions brilliant. Look at this shot; you have an instant iconic image of Bond loading his gun, however as the camera pans out we reveal Madeleine in frame. It's these small and neat touches which really elevate a movie.
It's worth noting that Mendes has made a real attempt to re-establish the iconography of Bond. In doing so I think he has recaptured the essence of what made Bond cool and sexy back in the Connery era. Mendes's movies really try and sell Bond; often placing Daniel Craig in the centre of the frame looking like a boss. I feel this totally lapsed in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Craig and Mendes have made Bond cool again.
Hmmm...one reason may be that men like to rationalise and categorise things and see them black on white on paper (or the excel-sheet :)) ).
For me lists always had something attractive. I have done Top 10s on a weekly basis for my favourite songs since my teenage years (and stopped at 30) and I even still have them all, it's like a diary of sorts. I do have a Top 30 for every year, I still do it.
I have an excel-sheet like a calendar where I have entered each and every single episode of any TV Show I've ever seen and movies too. It is also like a diary really.
I've started this in 2000 and never stopped...
I can tell you what I have watched on TV (or at the cinema) for any day you would like to know :P
Here is a list for you:
My favourite hobbies in life in alphabetical order, you can have a guess which is where in my ranking.
- Football (Soccer), (active player)
- Movies (watching, collecting) Batman, Bond, Star Trek are my favourites.
- Music (listening, collecting)
- Parachuting (I'm a parascout actually)
- S E X
- Travelling
- TV Shows (watching, some collecting)
You're my brother from another mother. I feel persecuted.
Wow. Okay, I guess that's one way keeping a diary, sort of, anyway (I've never kept a diary, either), and a way to organize some aspects of life. It's fascinating the things people do. I don't even do shopping lists. (Unless I'm doing something for which I need to get many ingredients I think I might not remember otherwise... so very, very rarely indeed.)
