Fuckin in the Bushes. Great track. They used sampling from the Isle of Wight 1970 festival documentary in the tune too.
There's also I'm Outta Time from their last album which has a very Bondian melody. Would've suited the mood of the Craig films very well.
I'd probably explode with excitement if they did a Bond theme, I'm almost as a big fan of them as I am of Bond. They'd have to get back together first obviously.
Me too pal. I'm Outta Time is a great song, probably the best one on that last album.
What an absolute pile of bollocks
Trust me, you are investing way more intellectual energy in this analysis than the CNB idiots from way back when. They wouldn't have been capable of producing a fair statement. It was all about dragging Craig's face through MS Paint and then poking fun at the abomination thus "created". Saying that they are now proven right implies that they ever had a point in the first place. And believe me, that was not the case.
That said, I also disagree with your statement. Craig really was Bond. You just can't get over the fact that one iteration of Bond can die and now you're trying to retroactively reason your way out of the conundrum. The logic is nevertheless simple: everything that has a beginning has an end. CR was the first "Bond Begins" ever shown on film, and NTTD is the first "Bond Ends" ever shown on film. I cannot see what CNB and their low-IQ output have to do with this. Those morons couldn't even type full sentences. It was all, "Craig isn't Bond cuz he ugly." Hm... Are you sure you want to lower your standards that dramatically, @slide_99?
I'm glad that Bond was back to being more brutal in this film, it suits Daniel much more than being light hearted. His funniest moments are either his reactions (like to the bionic eye) or his dry delivery of a comeback instead of a Moore style quips
Bitter Taste by Billy Idol sounds like a Craig era Bond tune. Has the lyrics "there's a million ways to die.. "
As many other posters have demonstrated, the writers can easily bring back SPECTRE without necessarily bringing back Blofeld for future Bond movies.
I have expressed my view about the arc of Madeleine/Bond. However I do agree with you about Spectre from the Meteorite Base onwards.
Lea gave an interview in French in mid 18 where she said the atmosphere was very different on set this time and has twice mentioned the change of director without being denigrating. At a modular level what goes on between them as actors is great but the plotting and direction of their development from that point on lacks real force and momentum its because that final third of the film does not have the relentless focus of the ending of the other four and especially this one. We come back to London again its vaguely camp in parts and its homage making and bringing the family in is distracting. all of that takes away from Madeleine/Bond and her jeopardy should have been played out much better.
If I strung everything together that Chris, Lea and Daniel have said all three were unhappy with what happened in that last third and Cary who brought Chris and Lea back and Daniel wanted them back gave them a chance to put that right. Chris nails Blofeld psychopathic jealousy of Bond in NTTD. here is this supplicant having the love and admiration of his partners daughter and he ruins there chances that is riddled with power for me and Chris gets to communicate that.
@bondsum that still leaves only one woman he slept with. He didn’t even have a chance to take his clothes off before Plenty went for a dive.
As for the CraigNotBond clowns, their problem has always been that they never even gave Craig a chance. They were slagging off him and his film before a single frame of film had been shot. So no, they were never “proven right”. They were proven wrong the moment unanimous praise for him, his film, and the high box office receipts came for CR.
It’s funny they lasted for 15 years, but I guess it became a place of sanctuary for the Craig haters after CR was a hit. I used to visit their forums along with @jetsetwilly because it was fun to try to debate the merits, at least with those that were sensible enough to agree to disagree (and there weren’t many). But by the time SF came out I largely left the place behind because it became utterly miserable with the likes of the site owner DirtyBenny and his homophobic rants. Now that Craig’s run is done, their site’s mission statement is now completely obsolete. It would be like if someone made a BrosnanNotBond and tried keeping it around in the late 2000s. What’s the point? The expiration date is now past.
It's funny how DAF is now being used as a quality yardstick when it's continually been confined to the bottom of most forum member's rankings. Most odd.
Here's another one for you: Which 60's Bond movie is the only one Connery never smoked a cigarette in?
Just out of curiosity, didn't the James Bond will Return bring you any kind of solace this time round?
“But” doesn’t make up for the lack of coitus @bondsum ;)
Not sure what your point about the bridal suite with Tiffany Case is. That he slept with her? That’s pretty obvious after Connery’s “hearty breakfast” comment.
Is it? I’m just mocking the idea of people using Bond’s number of conquests AS a quality yardstick. People knock NTTD film for having only one, and yet we saw it happen in CR, a film highly rated even by those slagging NTTD for featuring one conquest.
Anyway, at least nobody has so far tried to claim that maybe Connery Bond slept with Marie after choking her with her own bikini top.
Any film not titled DR. NO, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, GOLDFINGER, and YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE?
Them were the days. At least they'll be happy now Craig's run has finally come to an end. Their nightmare is over....
:))
I've kinda lost the thread as to why we're even discussing Bond's lack of coitus in certain movies? It's never been an issue for me. I just want to see Bond being a total badass without any of the soap opera melodrama to weigh it down.
We’re all fanboys/girls. We wouldn’t be if we didn’t get into the minutia of things.
You know I'm such a bad Bond fan. I've never stayed until the very end of the credits. I can't. The song is too much for me in the context, lol. I know it's there.
I have tissues in my handbag but just couldn't be bothered and yeah they're super soft :D. I'm just an emotional person I suppose. It doesn't bother me really. Each to their own.
Not necessarily - we could get the next best thing and have Liam do a solo track for a Bond theme. I've really enjoyed his recent solo efforts and look forward to his next album!
I had hot, streaming tears rolling down my face @00Heaven, so we are in the same boat... Jeez, I can think of scenes and get teary... And forget listening to the soundtrack while I'm in public...
Okay? Tiffany is ONE woman, so how does that contradict the earlier comments? And there is a mile of difference between wanting/trying to bed someone and actually bedding them. So, no, I didn't "miss" anything. Did you?
Les Enfants Terribles.
The cloned sons of famed supersoldier, and their resulting identity issues.
As if Kojima wasn't already secretly cackling about his favourite franchise pulling plot elements from his love letter to said franchise.
We missed what happens to Bond & Plenty in the elevator on the way to his hotel room... ;)
This image would be ideal for the Bond CapCon.
