  • Wow. A lot has happened since I last hopped on this thread. I am trying to unpack it all.

  • Newman's SP score still provided moments of brilliance: the Bond theme-Latin beat infused opening music; two gorgeous themes for the female leads; and five energizing transitional themes: to Q;'s new office, to Rome, to Austria, to Morroco, back to …

  • I love Hardy. He is a tremendous actor. But he isn't Bond, folks.

  • Woke up very early this AM, couldn't go back to sleep. So I threw on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. DC at his best. Everything about this film clicks: performances, setting, directing, soundtrack.
  • Not sure if this one belongs in this thread, or the "References in Pop Culture." But I recently re-watched Coppola's 1974 classic, The Conversation. The film features a surveillance company called Spectre.

  • We are starting to open up here in Arizona. We'll see what happens. Far too soon, imho. My fear is that with summer temps around 110, the virus's spread will slow and everyone will get a false sense of security. Then, in October: Wham!
  • Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Paul Haggis for Casino Royale for the same reasons @HASEROT just stated
