I would say OHMSS is full of some pretty ropey stuff: sped-up shots, bad dubbing, ADR, dodgy montages, shots which have been flipped, poor optical effects... it can look lovely but it can also look pretty bad, and LTK would have been laughed at if i…

A lot about Acolyte felt last minute and rushed, it really felt to me like they didn't know where they were going with it to the extent that by the final episodes I wasn't even sure what the objective was, so I wouldn't be surprised if the effects w…

Road to Perdition isn't exactly bad either. I agree about Dragon Tattoo: I absolutely love the tone of that film and Craig is perfectly cast in it. I'm sad they didn't make more.

Yes, obviously he's a no from you, I was suggesting him to everyone else to be honest :D

I rather like the monk song: you can tell it's a Barry composition and would even be quite nice orchestrally. mattjoes wrote: » How the Flight in Space chords were part of the Moonraker theme at one point. They would've worked very nicely. A bi…

I finally finished Skeleton Crew and I thought it was terrific: a proper adventure, loads of fun, and a SW series which actually felt like it had a structure and was plotted out properly.

Thunderballs mentioned him previously in the Alien thread, but I don't think he's cropped up in this one: Archie Renaux, as seen in Alien Romulus seems a possible candidate. He's got the right sort of look, seems tall and alpha-ish, handsome guy, 2…

Toby Stephens, perhaps.

Lovely, I think the Stelvio is a great-looking thing. While I had it I convinced myself that my Alfa was as reliable as other cars and it was just third party parts which failed etc. but looking back I can see it wasn’t really as reliable as other …

I think Keaton and Craig have a similarity too: both panned by fans as being wrong for the role when announced, then turned out to be absolutely fantastic in the role and hard to replace.

I had an Alfa and I liked it; yes, it was more trouble than my german cars have been and underpowered, but it drove beautifully and felt special. Which one have you gone for?

Ah it's a clarinet is it? Lovely, good spot! Interesting that's the only time he did that with the theme as far as I'm aware. Even doing a sort of foreign-themed version is very unusual for him, he didn't do that a huge amount with the music. Obvio…

I think they printed an amended version of LALD as he got details of the various trains across America wrong.
-
Are they so low down in the mix that they're drowned out? I haven't gone back to listen. What I like about that cue is that when the guitar riff of the theme ends, it's kind of carried on very quietly in the background by some other instruments, …
-
Yeah he wasn't always a details guy, which sometimes is a shame as his prose is often all about the details! :D So it makes me laugh when people criticise the continuation authors for getting facts wrong or misnaming a bit of a gun: as if Fleming wo…

I love Mother; that would work as M's theme across the films if you ask me, it's spot on.
-
I don't have that problem with the tone to the same extent, but equally I think you have a point and when I look at Skyfall I see a director handling and balancing tone with much more confidence and experience.
-
Why, what is it? I can't tell.

The card has two whispers? The metal container is the only one with a live whisper in it? The tape is the only one with an actual whisper i.e. noise in it?

To be fair, I was walking around behind New Bond St. this weekend and a beautiful 1986 Aston Martin Vantage the same shape as Bond's V8 burbled past me - anyone who can afford to own and run one can afford the ULEZ and parking fines! :D

You should try Spectre or No Time To Die. B18, the film with the BMW backseat, has Bond cradling a dead loved one btw.
-
They're all quite different whispers so I can't find a connection between two of them apart from their name!

Yeah those are fun, I like the cult. Gardner did that with Scorpius I think (I haven't read it in about 30 years so apologies if that's off!) so could be fun in a movie.
