  • As much of us who aren't that keen on this and seem to getting grief for it a good number of people have convinced themselves that it's going to be amazing, I hope is for their sake. We've heard 15 seconds of an intro and some are already thinkin…
  • Skyfall
  • People are always dismissing thing before they've heard or seen them and if you don't like an artist then there is a good chance you might not like something they are going to put out, I can just imagine what you would have said DG if Radiohead had …
  • There is no denying that piece of music is very lavish and cinematic sounding so it's fair to say that the music is going to be good but I'm not starting on any humble pie till I hear Smith singing, I'm not really a fan of his voice but if he pulls …
  • I think his voice is the sticking point for some and I'd have to say me as well but I guess we'll see or hear on 25th.
  • If I remember rightly when they reviewed the Skyfall Blu ray they gave the film 5 stars.
  • I'm afraid they've picked the biggest artist around at the moment regardless of whether they are actually suitable. Was only listening to some Sam Smith earlier today on music TV and I'm sorry I just don't see how his voice is going to produce anyth…

  • If it's good I'll say it is, no I'm not a fan of Smith but if he delivers as I said I'll eat humble pie, the days of them taking some risks and giving the job to real innovative talent are long gone, I've made my peace with that, the idea of Radiohe…
  • I guess if all you want from Bond is the kind of thing we got with the PB era then CR is going to be a little underwhelming but if you want something classy that tells you exactly what kind of agent Bond is at that moment then it's perfect. The b…
  • I think the SF PTS is one of my favourites but I just love the CR one because it announce Bond back to the world with something new but still familiar. CR had to come back in a way that separated it from the previous films, it had to go out to ba…
  • I absolutely love the CR PTS, it's the best of all three films, brief classy and a first and the way they incorporated the GB into the titles was genius, essentially the very first GB of his story. The worst PTS of the series? That's the thing a…
  • The B&W opening is pure class, of course Bond needed redefining after the OTT awful CGI mess of DAD. I have no problem with reboot, some aspects could have been handled differently but I think CR's PTS is one of the best and most individual a…
  • I'm not one of those that thinks TDK is overrated I still think I've not seen a better blockbuster since , although I found TDKR the worst of the trilogy and until along came the overlong and boring Interstellar his worst film full stop. I'm actu…
  • Liking these new posters. Not only got the Nov 2nd booked but also November 7th, my Dad & Mum are coming up for my Dad's Birthday and it's his Birthday treat. Seen almost everyone with him since SWLM on the big screen.
  • I'm not saying it was official but all it took for someone on the crew to do it anonymously and no one would be the wiser unless there is more to it than just misdirection and RH have contributed to the film in some way which I personally think is u…

  • I'm beginning to think that Radiohead bet came from someone within EON. When Skyfall was announced it was a foregone conclusion Adele had the job no one else really got in the frame and it was no real surprise when she was announced. It was all …
  • I mean no Hardy or Fassbender's I've seen a few here post those 2 as contenders. Both are rather famously associated with other roles. The next actor needs to be someone who's not part of another franchise, the idea of Cavill is utterly silly af…
  • They should continue to cast no big stars as Bond, Bond makes the actor a star not vice versa. The moment they cast a big name people will just look at them and go oh that's Tom Hardy or oh that's Michael Fassbender, DC being low key although kn…

  • Due to holiday plans had to book November 2nd 1pm. First time of the Craig era won't be seeing the first day, can't complain though I'll be in Brescia, Italy when it opens so it's not all bad.
  • Adele needed Epworth to come up with Skyfall, I'm sorry but some white boy soul falsetto singing pop singer has not got the chops for writing a Bond theme. If he has indeed got the job I guarantee even if Yorke & Greenwood didn't write it he…
