  • I don't feel a Refn Bond would work. It would of course be visually striking - but I find his style a bit too ambient and subversive just for the sake of it. He wouldn't be allowed to indulge his "violence" outbursts either - which would all but mut…

  • I agree the torture scene makes practically no sense, is tonally at odds with most of the film and is clearly a last minute addition which was ill-conceived and dropped in with little regard for any scenes which follow it! You can hear them saying "…
  • I'd welcome this and it's progressive. We should see more woman getting a shot at directing big films such as this - it's rather shocking how few do get the opportunity (save for the odd few like Katherine Bigelow, Mimi Leder and Patty Jenkins). Plu…

  • Interesting times. I think the "not be who you expect" comment is Mendes just having some fun and making media mischief. I'm not feeling sad he's not coming back. Whilst he directed a couple of the more visually appealing Bond films, his films were …
  • It is indeed - sung by Max Zorin - no less! ;)
  • Already said on the previous page - but I've just come back from The Jungle Book (2016) and the end song was quite "60's vibe Bond" (change the vocalist to Lana Del Rey and bingo!). Debney's score was also rather John Barry-like.
  • I feel CR is still the Daniel Craig movie to beat (especially after revisiting them all recently). The stripped back approach works really well, I don't appreciate "shoehorning". In this regard, SF is streets ahead of by the numbers" SP. SF was f…
  • I tune in after some break from the forums after watching the concluding episode of The Night Manager. Nothing! Seriously? What are you all watching because I'd easily take this over a mediocre Spectre. Must confess I didn't really see Hiddleston as…
  • After such an intense set-up with the meeting, I feel we needed more of an intense car chase also (perhaps in the vein of the second Bourne movie or Ronin as already suggested), rather than a return to Roger Moore era humour. Would you really find t…
  • Interesting. I like Kleinman's work, but found both TND and TWINE to be his weaker efforts. I love the concept of the diamonds turning into satallites, but TND needed more like this. It definitely looks very pretty, but the work suffered from a l…
  • Yes he seems a really nice guy. He's excellent at introverted material, but he isn't a natural fit when it comes to scoring bravura Bond action (plus seems noticably uncomfortable doing so). In answer to the original question - "Go" and let someone …
  • To be honest, I'm sure most of us could find something to nit pick about it. But wow - this was certainly better than I was anticipating and what a difference it makes moving it back to the start. The smile on my face when the film started was immea…
  • All this talk of NSNA - it was never official, so never considered this as an option. But yeah - it's the worst score (probably by some margin).
  • I'm going out of my mind in anticipation for Spectre tonight, so I decided to jot down a reasonably long assessment of Newman's score - track by track - just to keep me out of mischief for an hour or two: http://fernyfilms.wordpress.com/2015/10/26/…
  • Best: OHMSS, TLD. Bubbling behind would be YOLT, DAF and Moonraker. Barry was on fire in the mid-late 60's! Worst: DN, GE (mostly as they don't sound Bond). Also not a massive fan of LTK (sounds more like a Die Hard/Lethal Weapon score and does…
  • Given this a quick listen. Initial impressions: a handful of nice bits, but it's clear to me Newman is much better at the introspective stuff and doesn't get the bold and brash side to these films. I rather like two of the themes he uses in the end …
  • It seems everyman and his dog is going on here tonight! Who on earth do I need to hob-nob with to get see this at press showing? ;)
  • This kinda hits the nail on the head for me! I rather like Newman's quieter/subtle/mood material. His action falls flat and never feels confident or bold enough (but I like that he shows a bit of restraint - something Arnold lacks). I think there ar…
  • I liked the dialogue, but the music felt odd. It's only a tiny clip - nothing to get worked up over and need to see it in context. I don't think we can gleen too much from this!
  • I hope this also, but fear we're more likely to get a more shiny metalic look rather than something gritty like the original Binder barrel. Likewise I'd expect blood to pour down the screen quickly rather than flow. The Brosnan barrel got it spot on…
  • Enjoyed that UA Logo trip through memory lane @Gustav_Graves I also remember one which LALD had when first shown on TV - where the logo grew. It was similar to the 1968 one here: Much as I like Leo, I loved the UA Logos - really miss them!
  • I can't really argue too much with the top 6 (other than perhaps moving YOLT a bit higher for that lovely Capsule in space music). One or two surprises below this. OHMSS and TLD at the top, which is good to see. And I didn't even get to vote!
  • It's nothing we haven't seen already: the trailer/teaser and a few of the production vblogs. I wouldn't bother unless you really want these on DVD (encoded very poorly in my opinion) or want to send off for the poster. The article featuring Lea is p…

  • I think Pemberton is more varied with his scoring than Jackman, but he's also an interesting choice. I actually think his X-men First Class score is the best showcase of his potential. Kingsman is decent, but it tends to overuse it's main Kingman th…

  • Which is too fast! Premature coagulation.
