Cosmo Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Man... I'm not sure if it's better than the Sam Smith song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyman Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 I'm not a huge fan of Radiohead or anything, but I think both of those songs were "meh" at the very best. They should've just broken their own rules and got Adele to do this one too, if she was available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Lana Del Ray's 24 is my favorite of all the possible themes we've heard: That should've been the theme for SPECTRE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 They should have just spared the Shirley Bassey song (No Good About Goodbye) that David Arnold wrote with the intention of using for QOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Off topic, but I got the SPECTRE edition bottle of Belvedere vodka for Christmas. Can't wait to break that open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Finally listed to the Radiohead song. I guess it's marginally better than Sam Smith, but alas both fail in the interest department. I'm starting to think that when Sony's music department went artist scouting they requested a slow paced song with castrated vocals.Off topic, but I got the SPECTRE edition bottle of Belvedere vodka for Christmas. Can't wait to break that open Nice! I think this might be the first Christmas ever that I didn't get anything Bond related. Well, some boxer shorts that say Shaken, Not Stirred I guess. Indirectly - Duran Duran tickets. Never mind, I did get Bond stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 The Radiohead song is too boring. Smith's hooray for tolerance!y ass song is more bombast. Radiohead tries to use that snooty miminalist crap. Less is more Fuck that shit, James Bond music has to be fucking epic, in your face. Has to hook on to you and never let you go. Thom Yorke or whatever his name is, has a weak bitch ass voice. Can't understand a fucking word he is saying.Sorry people, between Radioqueer and Blow Job Lips Del Ray, I will have to go with Sam Smith here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 I feel nothing. Just like Renard?Well, SPECTRE made it to $850 million despite its theater count getting annihilated this past week. All in all, it was a good run and my prediction was pretty accurate.

It certainly proves how popular Craig is as Bond. $850 million is pretty good for what was "just another Bond movie" for audiences this year.

James Bond Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 I do blame the studio. Mendes was fine, but delaying the film for him meant more time to tinker with the script. Had we got the 2014 film as planned, they probably would have saved SPECTRE for another film instead of shoehorning it in as we got it. Mendes and Craig wanted to do a classic Bond (as per their interviews) but the studio clearly wanted Skyfall: Part 2. What we got is somewhere in the middle, and the clash of styles can be felt on the screen and in the plot.Gaps have been good for Bond in the past, but when they don't trust their writers then it just allows more time for them to tinker with a script. Think about it - the writers of DAD actually saved SPECTRE at the eleventh hour. Let that sink in. Here's hoping for a winter 2017 release for the next one. They can get right down to business come early 2016 like Babs said they would. Not too much time to overthink it which is exactly what I think happened with SPECTRE. As a side note, Star Wars comes out in the spring that year so that won't be direct competition either.And yes, bring back Felix. At least we got a name drop but still, Wright is too good an actor not to come back at least one more time.Craig and Wright back with a P&W script directed by Martin Campbell.

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It would have been a better film if they just let them make another classic instead of build upon the success of Skyfall. Skyfall left very little for a sequel. It was a one shot deal and just look on to the next one. Bring back SPECTRE? Fine. Blofeld? Sure. But tie it with the other films? Past James Bond films made subtle hints at connections but they didn't make it obvious. That was the fault in SPECTRE. Still, it could have been a lot worse. I just like to pretend Silva had little to do with Spectre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like to pretend Silva had little to do with Spectre.Silva felt the most shoehorned so it would have been better for them to ignore him because clearly he wasn't part of it. I think that's the only real part I have a problem with. Skyfall, like Goldfinger, should have been left as a standalone. Quantum and Mr. White? Sure, especially since Quantum was clearly intended to be a SPECTRE substitute. White's dialogue also gave good reason why he left the organization (Blofeld had gone too far) and therefore it's fair to assume Quantum was absorbed by SPECTRE. Silva just doesn't add up.

Georgy Zhukov Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Silva was just a loose cannon. The ring thing didn't make sense either. How can all those guys wear that one ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
