Yes, CR and QoS were really good efforts by Arnold. A shame Mendes ditched him IMO. It would have been really interesting to see how Arnold worked with someone like Mendes. Could have been a real classic score IMO, especially if Arnold had been able…

I think Dan has a thing for French girls. 3 out of 4 movies now with the Bond girl played by a French actress. He's got a very nice English girl at home so who can blame him for looking across the Channel to spice things up a bit in the casting depa…
