  • The Skyfall "DLC" is a travesty, to put it mildy. I wouldn't even bother downloading the key to unlock it. Like all the films in Legends, it manages to butcher the plot completely, but to a new low this time. The DLC took me around 26 minutes to …

  • It's 100kb in size.... so it's already on the disc.

  • I'm kinda glad they're not including the Skyfall Lodge as a mission. I couldnt bear doing one of those crappy "hand to hand combat fights" with Silva. Urgh.
  • I have managed to purchase a Skyfall World Premiere Programme through Skyfall's UK Facebook page, for £20 which is going to charity. I'm rather chuffed, not only because it's going to charity, but because they are selling on ebay for £50 and more. …
  • The Bond theme is a very powerful weapon in any Bond composer's arsenal. Deploy it correctly and you can add wonder and joy to the scene, elevating it in ways unimaginable. Overuse it, however, and it explodes back at you, removing any tension from …
  • $700,000,007 B-)
  • FilmMusicMag have a very fascinating, and in-depth, interview with Newman about the Skyfall score, his approach and the behind the scenes stuff. http://www.filmmusicmag.com/?p=10217 The main points: FilmMusicMag wrote: The Broccoli family…

  • Oh dear. Another poor driving level by the looks of it. No doubt Eurocom will completely balls up Skyfall, and have the player shooting through hundreds of goons in the Underground and at Skyfall Lodge, completely missing the point of the movie..…
  • And I now have a new addition: > Sideshow Collectable 12'' Figure - Oddjob (fully boxed with stand and accessories)
  • No Blofeld, and no Spectre. That belongs in the past. Don't reinvent it, don't bring back old villains, that would well and truly mess up the (already borked) timeline. And I hope they don't remake films or the books either. Leave them as they are. …
  • Just out of interest I tried courting how many cuts there were in the pre-titles car chase, which is four minutes. I counted 195 different cuts, which is one every 1.23 seconds on average. I'm a Quantum of Solace fan, it's a top five for me (arou…

  • stuffmyorders wrote: at the end, why did they not just call in more police /army?? I mean, is it because Silva monitors the radio /computers and so would not show and Bond needs to smoke him out on promise of mano e mano? if so, they really should…
  • I don't think any of Activision's Bond games have been anything more than average. Quantum of Solace was a rushed to market poor man's call of duty which butchered both films, had poor graphics, was criminally short and had a glitch-fest multipla…
  • I have just audited my 007 collection. There are 327 individual items in it, and it's growing all the time.

  • RogueAgent wrote: I find it so odd why they do not do this full stop? Instead of mixing up the order? What's the point? I suspect they're in the order they were recorded.
  • It's easily worth it just for the sound, especially for the third act shennanigans.
