  • The problem with his own approach is will he be able to let the Bond in? Instead of showcasing his own sound. I don't want pastiche but I do want some Barry influence unless he can blow us away with whole new exciting sound, I'm willing to give h…
  • Gallagher only wishes he had Cornell's range, my god that man's got some powerful pipes! Gallagher is a legend in his own lunch break, the man gets headlines for making smart cracks, he'd have a better career as a comedian these days and for his…
  • My Wife and I watched the first episode as we'd racked these up, decided to give the next one a go and got 10 minutes in and that was it. I know some like this but I think you need to like the comic books and have an insight into the world to enj…

  • I'll be the first to admit that Craig hasn't set the world on fire like I thought he might after being appointed as Bond, I actually thought he would transcend the usual baggage that comes with the role being an already established character actor a…

  • It would be ridiculous for them not to take advantage of this, no one's going to tell me that the Opening Olympic Ceremony moment with the Queen didn't contribute to Skyfall's massive British box office haul. I'm not saying this will have the sam…
  • The idea of having Craig go from Rookie to the end of his career is an interesting one but I'd like him to do another 2 or 3 for this to happen if they are just going to play his era out with Bond 25 and then reboot no I wouldn't want that. A sof…
  • Outside of Bond, Lion in the Winter definitely and Mary Queen of Scots, I have both of them on vinyl. I love Barry's choral work on LITW. I don't own many of his scores outside of Bond, various compilations, Dances With Wolves & Alice In Won…

  • For all the crimes they've supposedly committed against Bond in their time with EON it seems P&W might have saved the day with some help from Jez Butterworth. I think the idea to tie things together is theirs, maybe Logan came up with using S…
  • Interesting @timmer, the rest has just been a starter getting ready for the main course maybe? As we know now that Quantum was EON not having the rights to use Spectre and if so we might have had them from the get go with CR possibly if this had …

  • Personally I think they should have used the leaking of the script to their advantage and part of me thinks they might still have a curve ball they are going to throw and the ESB element is one area they have an opportunity to surprise the hell out …

  • Was Brosnan acting during his tenure? I think the jury is still out on that one!

  • Man of Steel is just a noisy mess for the last 40 minutes. I also appeared to me like chunks of it were cut out and didn't flow particularly well at all. Pity really Crowe and Costner are great and Cavill was convincing as both Kent and Superman…
  • This is the perfect example of a franchise that will never be able to get away from the shadow of it's biggest star. Isn't it time the franchise moved on and put the Austrian Oak out to pasture? I'm not even sure this is going to do the business…
  • Brosnan bought nothing new we hadn't seen before whereas Craig as redefined the role and has had the greatest effect on the character since Connery. Brosnan is much better outside of Bond and anyone saying Craig can't act needs to be tied down an…
  • I'm sorry I think that is excessive, every 30 minutes maybe, Barry used it often but he reworked it, Arnold just played the same arrangement or something not radically different. Look at Bond Back In Action from GF or This Never Happened To The O…
  • Composers can't be precious scoring a Bond film, no I wasn't a fan of Arnold's JB theme every 10 minutes but when composing the music for these films you need to be aware that there is a certain expectation. Barry invented the sound and all othe…
  • Whiplash is definitely worth your time and JK Simmon's is simply terrific and deserved his Oscar as did the editing. Miles Teller and the music are terrific as well. It was nice to see Grand Budapest Hotel get some recognition, one of my favouri…
