I think a Frank Sinatra MR would have been a classic, just because it's Sinatra. It's easy to imagine this song sung in his voice. As it stands, it feels less fresh because it's Bassey...again. Another controversial opinion: TB may be a bette…

Controversial opinion: DAF is the best Bond song. It is original, perfectly matches the mood of the film it's in, uses a Fleming title but doesn't overuse it, and does not overly rely upon the Bond theme or another song (GF).

Plenty O'Toole's name equals a dad joke? I mean, I get what the name means but sheesh... It's cleverer than Stephanie Broadchest. I'll give it that. I'm sure someone's written an article or two about the gay overtones of DAF. From the way C…

I wish he had played DAF more like TB, but that's kind of like wishing the genie back into the bottle. I think the "spy craze" and the many imitators and parodies (Max Helm, etc.) pushed Eon in this direction. From a box office standpoint, they …

The vaccine makes the coronavirus more like the flu for the vaccinated. Those who choose not to vaccinate are gambling with hospitalization or death.

Yes. LTK is one of the best "What's left of Fleming?" mashups.
-
To be fair, other composers also scored scenes where they blasted bits of the Bond theme during unamazing moments. One is when Bond is running around the archive stacks in GE.

Just speculating regarding reboots: If Bond and Madeleine get a happy ending in NTTD, then they either have to reboot or write her out somehow in B26. Surely they wouldn't have the same love interest across three films? That's turning into Mr. …

Vegas (back then...not now) is a great setting for a Bond film. They just didn't use it properly (hint: more gambling, more Plenty although perhaps a better actress, less moon buggy). It's like they just jettisoned the story after Amsterdam. An…
