JAAAAAAAMES BOND
Roger didn't have it so easy, and must use common sense...............
Don't go away.
I love it. A real heroic and feel good moment.
I think it's F minor with a C sharp in there, C minor..........G sharp.........
well I'm not backing up this scene..I'll have to practice this on my own till it sounds right.
James..........JAMES JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT is not the soap.............
Ha ha OOOHHHH........
Great viewing of AVTAK. It's another Bond film I have a soft spot for. Had a blast seeing it in the cinemas with my folks as a kid. My mom thought the Zorin slaughter scene in the mines was too violent. My dad loved the film and kept saying: "wasn't that great?" throughout the day.
Still, back then seeing a Bond film was a treat. In the States, we had the ABC network showing the Bonds every couple months or so and one could rent the films on VHS (if you had a player). Luckily new films came out regularly.
I miss Roger.
One of my favorite scenes from the Bond franchise. I absolutely love this part.
Nice work @ToTheRight - I'm keen to give this a go on the guitar now!
Maybe so, but it’s one of the last things I think about when I watch the scene though. To me, fhis one scene is amazing for several reasons:
1. Mr. White gets a very good arc and a satisyfing send-off after waiting since 2008’s QoS. I didn’t like every callback SP made, but bringing back Mr. White was awesome.
2. Bond and White both had a golden opportunity to kill each other, but they each chose not to. They had such bad blood, but for a valuable exhange they set their past aside.
3. Craig and Christensen both give great performances in the scene.
4. Mr. White committing suicide is original for the Bond series; as far as I remember, the villains never do this.
5. The music and atmosphere works. There is palpable tension, and the music buildup is great. I know a lot of people hate on Newman’s work with the Bond films, but in this scene it’s perfect I think.
Brilliant scene well executed if you excuse the pun! Just wish Mr White was utilised more and finally taken care of in Bond 25 as it now turns out? Jesper Christianson was fantastic in the role.
Let me know if you figure it out. I feel I'm missing a chord. :) Barry's music is fun to jam to while watching Bond.
@Major_Boothroyd Thanks! Lots of F minor in AVTAK.
The whole film is simply brilliant. My second favorite Bond film ever, and probably will stay there.
It oozes class throughout, CR your number one a guess
Correct. I love them both, but I have to give CR the edge because of Craig's performance. Not that Lazenby is bad - just that Craig is better. They have the best Bond girls for certain.
CR is the perfect modern Bond is very good, though maybe because of how many times have watched these particular films my top three is...
