Romer doesn't thrill me but I get the sense he's a very different composer to Newman. He won't be an arrogant d**k like Newman. I'm expecting a rich mix of sounds and a proper collaboration on the title song with themes running through the film. …

He's a singer song writer as well. Maybe he will perform the theme tune. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Romer But seriously apparently he produced a hit song for Christina Aguillera so maybe he could write the title song or at least colla…

I don't think Fukunaga is going to give us DAD 2.

What are you talking about? Connery is clearly Scottish in all his films. Connery couldn't pass as English if he tried! He's so Scottish that Fleming created a Scottish-Swiss ancestry for Bond. Yes Fleming conceived of Bond as English but whe…

I can't stand the film, but surely the 2 stand out action sequences are the jump from the window in Bilbao (is that the PTS?) and the boat chase on the Thames. I don't particularly like it, but surely the boat chase is THE action sequence in the fil…

Let me put it this way. Would Henry Cavill or Idris Elba have made a better Bond? Does the fact that Cavill is white outweigh the fact that his acting is more wooden than an antique side table?
-
Yep. The V8 suits Craig down to the ground.

I was about to say something similar. We seem to have forgotten the rumours about Malek's character being into genetic experimentation etc. If there is a Maddie lookalike in the film, it surely points to a story-line around cloning or something like…

So you can't be an ambassador for Great Britain if you're black? Interesting. We seem to have entered a wormhole taking us back to the mid 1970s. There have been black Britons since at least the 17th century - doubtless longer. How long do their …

QOS has more genuine wit and quality dramatic scenes IMO than SF and SP put together. Not saying it was anywhere near as good as those early Connery films but I think Forster was thinking along the right lines. Forster's biggest problem of cou…

Few English producers would have thought to cast a working class Scot in that role. It took people from outside the world of English class snobbery to see Connery's potential.

He has to be played by a Scottish, southern (or northern) English, (or partly Welsh) Anglo Saxon Protestant. But Irish Catholics are also welcome. And then there was that other fella.

What were Cubby and Harry doing then when they cast a working class Scot as Bond? Tinkering surely. It took a couple of self made immigrant Americans to think outside that box. Connery was definitely not how Fleming envisaged Bond but in the end he …

Fleming didn't envisage Bond as Scottish either but look what happened. The whole point of Shaft is that he's black. Is the whole point of Bond that he's white or is the character bigger than that?

I do think though that EON think that way. After an OTT entry you try and bring it back to basics. DaD and CR being a prime example. You can't just feed the kids popcorn and slushies every day.

Yeah you're right. He's shown he's very versatile. I guess I'm just saying I am confident that everything will be carefully thought through and he won't shoot scenes that don't make sense or really drive the movie forward. I'm very sure it will be b…

OHMSS - totally agree. Although the stuff in Piz Gloria drags a bit. CR - overlong. Cut the Miami chase sequence? SF - no rewatch value. Overlong. Meandering. Pure stodge. I'm hoping B25 is under 2 hours 30 mins. Preferably just over 2 hrs.…
