  • Put me in the camp disappointed that Arnold isn't coming back. Arnold understands Bond and I'd love to see him do at least one more. For me, his last two soundtracks were his best. That said I'm willing to give Romer a chance, but the tracks I'…

  • I'd just like to say that EON owes us nothing. As long as things are reasonably on track, they really don't need address the tabloid negativity, because, quite honestly, it indirectly promotes the film. They'll be able to begin spinning the hype w…

  • I'm with @peter . To be honest, SP taps into Bond's "origins" more than CR. For me, the only thing I miss with the Craig era is the swagger. A lot of the new elements, to be honest, are welcomed. They needed to distance themselves from pastich…
  • For me OHMSS ranks high because of the following factors: (1) It breaks the mold in a bold way (which is mostly thanks to Fleming and the screenwriting) (2) Barry's Score (3) Rigg and Salvalas (4) Piz Gloria That said, while I can appreci…

  • Amidst the composer conversation for Bond 25, I was bumming around YouTube appreciating the QOS soundtrack, but then came across a Hans Zimmer piece from Inception called "Old Souls." This song is clearly inspired by David Arnold's "Night at the …

  • PDJamesBond wrote: » (Spoiler) What I love about most of the one-word titles in the series is that they are uniquely Bond. In no other realm do the words "Goldfinger," "Thunderball," "Moonraker," or "Skyfall" exist. If you Google those words,…

  • I'm one who is in full agreement that "we" need to better call out terrorism for what it is, regardless of the perpetrator's background. And by "we," I mean the media, government officials, etc. That said, outside of his rallies and since taking…

  • Geez folks, lay off of @PanchitoPistoles. Clearly his latest comment is an attempt at humor. All I feel I read in these forums is people's overreactions to PP's posts, particularly those posting not to posts reactionary comments to PP's posts. Go…
  • @j_w_pepper @CommanderRoss Thanks for the insight. As I am a US resident, I don't get to hear much about the issues abroad unless I reach out for them. Last time I was in (Western) Europe, the opinions I got on this subject were much the same. I…

  • I apologize as this isn't really "news," but what are people's thoughts on the Balkan states joining the EU (those that have and those that are working towards it)?

  • What I like about the film is that it is sophisticated, sleek (so many beautiful shots), and it leaves out the forced formulaic bloat that seems to plague many of the films (especially the Mendes films). To me, it contains the edginess and subtlety…

  • I guess I wouldn't mind if they went a little more fantastical, but I really hope they keep some depth. I'm not looking for everything to be personal, but some character arcing and backstory in future films (per film) would be nice.
