  • I can‘t find anything that‘s not in-line with the musical heritage of Barry in the soundtracks of CR and QoS. As often as I listen to them when jogging or in the gym or at my workplace tells me how good they are. Miles ahead of SP or SF. However, Ba…
  • I re-watched QoS yesterday and I am sure it's popularity among Bond fans will continue to rise. It wasn't the instant hit that CR was (but waaay above a failure) and it's flaws will remain (editing is too drastic, some scenes should've been more fle…
  • I am just sick of all this MGM stuff - as if there isn't enough things theses days that hold up the production of Bond films. Craig could be preparing his 7th instead of 5th Bond movie just easily these days.

  • I liked Logan Lucky - Daniel was really funny in it and the whole film was pretty neat. Not a "big thing" - but entertaining and well acted. The person who only did a Bond movie for the paycheck was Mendes with SP in my opinion - I did not get th…
  • Very intersting reads here in regards to DAF! I always asked myself, too why they did the campy route - especially before Moore starred as 007. The shift in tone with each actor makes sense to me - but I wondered for some time if DAF was supposed to…
  • If Blofeld would have remained in the shadows, no brothergate but just a connection to Spectre via Hans Oberhauser, no connection between Silva and Spectre ... the movie would have been pretty decent. Still no highlight but Ok ... and a good way to …
  • Still a very beautiful, stylish Bond movie. Great acting, very good villain. Welcome addition to the series. It was a welcome, new kind of Bond story that one can fully embrace even if not from Britain. „Welcome to Scotland“ - just great. Basical…
  • Isn‘t he too famous already? But Moore was quite famous before LALD, so ...
  • DAF saved the James Bond film series I am sure. But I rarely rewatch it these days ... it is too silly for a Connery Bond film.
  • I like the first half of DAD a lot - it‘s the second half that ruins the film totally. Boy I was against Craig - I wanted Brosnan to do the proclaimed Tarantino Casino Royale ... but like@shamanimal said: Boy they made one of the classics that to me…
  • My wife said Brosnan was too old in DAD already - but I never shared that opinion. To me, he could easily have done another one at least. Still today he looks fabulous and a NSNA-like Bond film starring him would work for me easily.
  • Connery made DAF and YOLT ... but rewatching DN - TB I reassure myself every single time my enthusiasm for his James Bond and his films will never wane. Same with Daniel Craig: I recently re-watched CR, QoS and SF back-to-back and same here: my e…
  • IF Blofeld will be back, just „show“ him in style of FRWL and TB.

  • I highly doubt they will revisit any of the memorable villains - especially not Goldfinger. But I agree that there are many elements and characters of the Books that have not yet gotten their screen version. P&W most likely did an adaption…
  • Too bad Sophie Marceau already starred in a Bond Film - she would suit Daniel very well on-screen I am sure, looks stunning and mature enough. Plus she‘s a fine actress, I think (but that may be my lifelong crush for her speaking here :-) ). Paired …
  • I may have a view on most of the Bond girls which is inconpatible with that whole #MeToo „topic“ ... but as portrayed on the screen they fell for Bond‘s charms but most were independant, strong female characters. Imho the receiption of Bond girls is…
  • Newman‘s score for American Beauty was wonderful and there *are* some very good tunes in SF (Shanghai Drive being one of them) but at a whole I don‘t think his scores „breathe“ Bond like Arnold‘s CR and especially QoS soundtracks did. To me QoS is t…
  • Since the Boyle rumour seems to be true (and I hope there won‘t be a clash about the script) I am very curious what he will bring to the table. But I‘m sure it will have a much higher energy level again than SF (on purpose and fitting) and SP (becau…
  • What most directors Getafix wrote: » The music will be good with Boyle directing. He won’t tolerate the insipid elevator music that Newman churns out to order. Amen! Newman delivered 2 good tracks in SF - the rest was exactly what you said: …
  • But why to go that route? They did this stuff (kinda) with SF and (to many) it was good that way but ended encouraging with James Bond on the rooftop. So why, especially after Spectre, would they want to do the very same stuff again just even more d…
  • I don‘t need that movie then - I liked „Logan“ and I for sure don‘t want to see this happen to James Bond. If they do so, they finally went nuts. I doubt that unless they want to retire the whole film series.
  • I don‘t think her role would be as big as in QoS - but it would work great plus be in-line with the Craig era ... after all the continuity aspect is one element that defines it. Letting Camille start the wheels for B25 is a much better way to interc…
  • @peter : This sounds good! It would be in-line with the continuity of the Craig era, kinda pick up where SP left (4 years ago) and still lead to a more colourful adventure. Plus - there can‘t be anything wrong seeing Olga again :-)
  • Some seem to rule out (at least I get the impression) Craig will be fit and agile by the end of this year. Since this element is key to his portrayal and given the fact B25 will (he says so himself) be his last one I am sure he will put in CR-like e…
  • Loved the „kite“ trailer. I was SO excited by the return of Mr. White and the trailer sold the movie brilliantly ... if only the film could hold up to it. There were a lot of good things in this movie but somehow it derailed
