Why, because you don't want her returning?
How about a song during the end credits and an instrumental main title sequence?
Actually, Skyfall sounded like a Bond track. And since you're all about "Bond" music, you should love it.
Really it is just a harmless bit of writing to get some attention to the site. I posted it simply to shift the topic. It is a fact that they have approached her to return. Rare that they do that so early. What interested me was the "..hasn't responded.." part. Not a maybe, not even a phonecall!
Um I do love Skyfall by Adele. I never said it didn't sound Bondian. All I said was Craig's Bond songs should be hard rock since Craig's Bond was more harder edged. /:)
Both Life of Pi and Skyfall were shot with the same camera though !
Nobody takes the Golden Globes seriously. The nominees and winners are selected by a few dozen easily bribed foreign journalists living in Hollywood. The Academy Awards are completely different, they are voted by about 6000 people who actually work in the industry. You can not simply say that if one award ceremony is a joke than they all are...
I will tell you how. The nominees in each category are selected by people who are actually familiar with the category. (The cinematography nominees for example are selected only by cinematographers.) The winners on the other hand are selected by the entire membership. Meaning that make up artists, writers, casting directors etc. voted in categories they were not completely familiar with. A non-cinematographer will usually vote for the "prettiest" film in the cinematography category. That's why Life of Pi won the cinematography award.
The American Guild of Cinematographers on the other hand selected Skyfall for ther Best Cinematography winner last year...
(I won't post more Oscar related off-topic thoughts in this thread, I promise! :bz )
More seriously : here in France, we could watch some documentaries and reports on how The Artist ended with 10 nominations (include the DOP one) and 5 Oscars. Sorry for all the Academy Awards fans who think it's a kind of panel of experts, but the truth is that the core of the voters are quite old or very old, 9 out of 10 of the voters are more than 50yo, half are more than 65yo, some have a very thin link to the movie industry, they were member of a guild a long time ago and have not necessarily worked on a set a single day for decades... and many simply don't watch the movies they vote for at the nomination stages, unless Harvey Weinstein send them a chauffeur to go at a private screening near their house.
I can't prove it obviously, but I think many voters never listened to Skyfall's score for instance. I think they voted for the son of Alfred Newman, 9 Oscars wins, and 35 or so nominations.
Also back to the topic : I think Adele is a very important reason why Skyfall ended #1 movie at the French box office. The song was played all over the radios, I heard it several times while buying some foie gras in the shops, it never happened to the other fellows. There are not that many ways to promote movies for a very large audience here, this song was important for that.
I´d still take DD any day. Plus, they could use a decent challenge, they´ve been releasing mostly boring stuff on their last two albums.
Paloma Faith would be epic!
Sam Mendes’s 25 Rules for Directors
Funny bits:
and
Van Halen would be great too. I'm pretty sure that DLR is a Bond fan.
