James Bond 24 - Part 1

[Warhammer]

That's why I'm glad NBC is moving forward with a Hellblazer series. It will hopefully remove the nasty taste in my mouth from that movie.

 

[regwec]

For real?

Life just became a tenth of a shade more rosy.

 

[AnneFan]

Does anyone here drive to any James Bond themes or soundtracks?

No, but I have them all. All of the 60s stuff is top notch, but OHMSS is the best one overall, in my opinion.

I prefer the melancholy, introspective cues the most. YOLT, MR, GE and also SF have these in spades.

A few from each for example:
YOLT – Mountains and Sunsets, Death of Aki, The Wedding
MR – Space Laser Battle, Miss Goodhead Meets Bond, Bond Lured to Pyramid, Flight into Space
GE – That’s what keeps you alone, Whispering Statues, We share the same Passions
SF – Mother, Somone Usually Dies, Skyfall, Jellyfish, Komodo Dragon, Quartermaster, Modigliani

Newman’s Skyfall score is easily my favourite one of the modern era.
It has the introspective stuff ala Goldeneye, but the lushness of Barry. Komodo Dragon is the best example of this.

 

[Dark Raven]

The Living Daylights soundtrack is a great one to drive to, especially Hercules Takes Off or the Ice Chase. The Ice Chase makes me want to equip my car with rocket launchers and then shoot down any traffic that is in my way.

And yes, OHMSS is also great, especially to drive to, as is FRWL (particularly the 007 theme by John Barry).

 

[AnneFan]

Company Car by David Arnold - TND, is probably my favourite 'Bond' ambient sound. Just lounging away. Non Bond theme lounge music aside, ‘Try’, ‘Tiffany Case’ and ‘Bond to New York’ are nice. Newman did have lounge with ‘Old Dog, New Tricks’ but it was shelved for ‘Close Shave’.

 

[titansupes]

Do you drive any differently when listening to those (eg faster, more aggressively etc)?

That's precisely why I don't listen to movie soundtracks when I'm driving. I'd be a damn fool, sir.

 

[Boom]

I've got your new Bond villain right here:

Mikael Persbrandt.

 

[Warhammer]

Yes sir.

I've got your new Bond villain right here:

Mikael Persbrandt.

He's got slimy, European villain #2343 written all over him. I like it.

 

[regwec]

The resemblance made me think of Aiden Gillen, who is owed more villain roles. No one does slime like that guy.

 

[Airwings]

Rather have Stellan Skarsgård as villain

About the actor question again. Should they cast a Nothern Irelander just to complete the Great Britain tour of Bonds?

Someone suggested an American just because they are a part of the "empire".
I rather see a Canadian myself. How about that?

 

[Warhammer]

I'd welcome an American or Canadian. Whoever is qualified.

 

[Lord]

I remember liking the mood of the Diamonds are Forecer song, not exactly the lyrics, but i really liked the begining of the song, the sound seemed a bit personal, if that makes sence

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Yeah, the pre-title sequence up to the title sequence (sans Connery's incredibly underwhelming delivery of "Go to Hell, Blofeld") was pretty good even though it got a little goofy when it got to Blofeld's part.

But then the rest of movie happened...

He said "Welcome to hell, Blofeld"

 

[Hurm...]

I'd welcome an American or Canadian. Whoever is qualified.

I nominate Rob Ford

If you're going to get someone from Game of Thrones and as someone said earlier about having a female villain and me having just seen Dredd, why not Lena Headey.

 

[regwec]

She would also be excellent, though it would be foolish to try to replicate what was achieved with Mama.

 

[Octoberist]

It's weird that after so many medium-to-high profile roles, I feel like Lena is still super underrated. And if there's a Genre/Geek Queen, it would be her.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Rather have Stellan Skarsgård as villain

Have him be a serial woman killer (mostly immigrants). Have him trap and bind James Bond in his base of operations, down in his basement. Let him talk about Bond being his first dude. This has never been done before.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Can't think of anything where something like that's been done.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Sail away Sail Away Sail Away....

 

[Loki882]

My shortlist of actors/actresses who could play future Bond villains:
Rachel Weisz.
Vincent Cassel.
Bill Nighy.
Joel Edgerton.
Jon Hamm.
Jaimie Alexander.
Jessica Chastain.
Forest Whitaker.
Matthew McConaughey.
Hayley Atwell.

 

[E.NormusJohnson]

Speaking of villains how the hell did Bruce Payne never land a role as a baddie?

 

[flickchick85]

I really want to see Tilda Swinton as a Bond Villain. It's just one of those random dreams of mine, lol.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I approve of that.
