  • After working on LTK, where there had been much talk of re-working the titles, myself and a cameraman friend shot a self financed test title sequence to present as a potential new angle on their GB. Basically we re-designed the opening so that th…

  • Having now seen Skyfall in IMAX yesterday, I can see exactly why the GB didn't fit well with the brilliant opening shot. They made the right decision to move it to the end. As for the film - I loved every frame of it; it's fantastic and Craig giv…

  • Shardlake wrote: Yeah Gf is overrated, I much prefer JB's score to the theme, DAF is definetly Bassey's best. Well, DAF is also a very good song, no question.
  • Goldfinger overrated!!!! That super sharp and witty screenplay. Wonderful story. Iconic characters. Terrific set pieces. The DB5. Connery owning Bond. Superb score by Mr. Barry. Iconic title sequence - and that song is regarded as a classic for a…
  • It's a very good top 5 Bond films - although I would have gone for TSWLM ahead of GoldenEye. But all the others hit my top 4 choices.

  • thelivingroyale wrote: An R/18 rated Bond film could be good, but there's just no need for one. We get enough violence to keep me happy when the films are 12s and it would be an 18 for the sake of being an 18, and the film would make less money. …
  • battleshipgreygt wrote: It's in the leaked script pages. (Spoiler) Yes, but as I've said, scripts are constantly revised in production and during shooting, and lines can easily be cut from one scene and used in another to be more effecti…

  • MartinBond wrote: We already know he utters the line when he's in M's appartment, after "enjoying death. Actually, I think they took the line "007 reporting for duty" and over laid it on the shot of Bond in the shadows in M's (Dench's) apar…
