Which is why i feel the follow-up to skyfall is gonna have a lot to overcome as well. Good bond films rarely follow each other at least not for a while. It's gonna be extra hard seeing if they really are trying to release 24 in 2 years as skyfall actually benefited from all the mgm downtime.
Well as long as there isn't a writer's strike during it's production, Bond 24 will automatically have an advantage over QoS.
 
This is cool.

I doubt there will be a Bond section, we had one before and it got cut, I talked to Mirko and I don't think the site intends going there again.

While I feel the universe has its merit, frankly it's just not big enough to garner that much discussion on here. Now if he put on a batsuit...
 
For those who wanna listen to the OST in film order :

01. Grand Bazaar, Istanbul - Bond finds Ronson, car chase, shootout and bike chase. Closes with Bond diving onto the train.
14. The Bloody Shot - Entire train sequence - shootout, digger scene, fight and Bond's fall.
Adele's Skyfall - Title sequence
02. Voluntary Retirement - Begins with Mallory's line to M - "Retirement planning" and ends with M stopped by police on Vauxhall Bridge.
15. Enjoying Death - Bond lying in bed with the Turkish babe, drinking Heini, popping Benzedrine pills etc.
Konyali - Ensemble Hüseyin Türkmenier - Bond bored out of his mind.
CNN Breaking New Theme #2 - Herb Avery - News of the attack.
Reprise of M's theme from "Voluntary Retirement" - Bond epiphany and M at the funeral.
03. New Digs - Begins with the drive to the underground HQ, ends with a witty exercise montage (treadmill, sit-ups etc.), while Tanner plays Mr. Exposition on who the perpetrator of the attack could be. Ends with Bond unable to do any more pull-ups. .
10. Day Wasted - Begins with the "Skyfall - Done" exchange at the evaluation, followed by "Day - Wasted." Second half is Bond is Bond cutting out the bullets, and getting Tanner to do a ballistics report, identifying Patrice from three suspects who all use depleted uranium bullets.
05. Brave New World - Begins with Q showing Bond his gadgets, ends with Bond swimming a few laps at a rooftop pool in Shanghai.
06. Shanghai Drive - Bond in disguise at the airport watching Severine and Patrice, then tailing Patrice across the Yan'an highway.
Reprise of the mysterioso opening of Grand, Bizarre (IIRC without the brassy stinger) as Patrice kills the guards at the lobby, then follows Patrice across the first floor, using the dead bodies as footprints.
07. Jellyfish - Bond grabs onto the lift and tries to fight the pain. Ends with the assassination.
08. Silhouette - Begins with fight, and ends with Bond questioning a hanging Patrice (who doesn't answer) until he's sucked out by the wind current.
09. Modigliani - An admiring Severine spots Bond, he vanishes, and then he analyses the left-over machinery (rifle and glass cutter)..
17. Close Shave - Eve drops by.
31 Old Dog, New Tricks (unused) - Replaced by Moonlight - Jun Chen - Bond and Eve chat and she gives him a wet shave. Mallory's military background is revealed..
13. Komodo Dragon - Cut to the Macau casino as Eve says "Old dog, new tricks" - Ends as Bond places his bet.
12. Someone Usually Dies - Very effective cue as Bond lets Severine know that he's aware of her three bodyguards, he identifies the tattoo on her wrist, wins her trust, raises a glass to the three thugs. Reminiscent of the beach scene with Bond and Domino in TB, along with Bond and Viv in Fleming's TSWLM.
19. Granborough Road - The pit fight with Komodo Dragons
04. Severine - The shower scene.
16. The Chimera - Severine's yacht (the Chimera) taking Bond to Silva's island.
Charles Trenet - Boum - The William Tell scene.
Silva's Capture - Bond theme appearance.
Silva shows his deformity.
11. Quartermaster - Analysing Silva's computers, Silva preparing to escape, and Bond chasing him through the tunnels.
18. Health & Safety - Bond enters the tube train and says to a worker "health and safety."
19. Granborough Road (reprise) - Silva gets off (that sounded wrong), the escalator sliding, and back to the tunnels. Can't remember what the Bond theme at the end was for.
20. Tennyson - Tense inter-cutting between M's enquiry speeches (quotes Tennyson’s Ulysses), Silva and his men approaching, Bond racing against time.
21. Enquiry - Mallory's shot and runs for cover, Bond arrives, Silva escapes and Bond drives off with M.
22. Breadcrumbs - We first see the DB5, Mallory gives advice to Q and Tanner on how to lure Silva. Ends with a zoom into a map of Scotland.
23. Skyfall - The DB5 drives through the misty glen.
24. Kill Them First - Bond, M and Kincade lay dynamite.
25. Welcome To Scotland - The group of mercenaries arrive by foot HIGH NOON/OUTLAND-style, shoot out, M is injured.
Boom Boom - The Animals - Silva arrives by helicopter.
26. She’s Mine - Bond carries Bond Aston fires, Silva throws charges, Aston is destroyed, Bond enraged, lights fuse to fuel cannisters.
27. The Moors - Silva spots M and Kincade, Bond races to stop Silva and his men from reaching the chapel.
28. Deep Water - Bond treads carefully across ice, Silva sees lights in the chapel, fight with henchman in frozen loch, Silva reaches the chapel and meets M and Silva's death.
29. Mother - M dies in Bond's arms.
End Credits Medley.
Gunbarrel / The Name's Bond... James Bond (abridged re-recording), then fades into...
30. Adrenaline, which fades into...
14. The Bloody Shot (abridged version), which fades into...
13. Komodo Dragon (abridged version)

...and one on the missing cues.

1. Grand Bazaar, Istanbul (Film Version) - the opening clusters (0:02 to 0:57) last a lot longer in the film, IIRC.
2. The Bloody Shot (Film Version) - French horns sound an Ab Major chord as the camera whip pans to the tunnel (should be at 4:22), missing on the album.
3. The Funeral - Second of the film's three quotes of the "M Theme."
4. Bond Enters the Office Tower - Bond enters the lobby and follows the trail of dead security guards to Patrice. A variation on the opening clusters from Grand Bazaar, Istanbul, but subtly different. Segues to Jellyfish.
5. The Elevator Stops - Gothic, Barry-esque minor chords and ominous low strings (think Bond At The Monsoon Palace from OP) as Bond climbs from under the elevator to the 67th floor. Should be between 0:44 and 0:45 on Jellyfish.
6. Circle of Life - Bond dispatches two of Severine's bodyguards with the steel briefcase, but the heavyset one tackles him, and they both fall into a pit with Komodo dragons. They fight until Bond is slammed to the ground. Only the first 30 seconds or so are missing. The rest can be found in Granborough Road from 0:32 to 1:04 and 2:00 to the end.
7. Silva's Capture - Bond takes out Silva's goons and calls in the cavalry. Features a great rendition of the Bond Theme.
8. Hydrogen Cyanide - Very effective cue, starting as M tells Silva that he'll be transferred to Belmarsh Prison, and he demands her to say his real name. IIRC, it ends when Bond enters Q's lab. It's variation on the chords heard in Someone Usually Dies, without the guitar ostinato, with stopped horns instead. The chilling electronic microtonal pitch wavering and clusters for when Silva takes off his apparatus can be also be heard at 1:37 to 1:50 in that track.
9. Temple - Silva adopts a new disguise as Metropolitan police officer at Temple Station, as Bond tries to find him in rush hour. Ends when Bond jumps onto the train.
10. Granborough Road (Film Version) - Same as the album version, except with two inserts. Tense stopped horns with interpolations of the chugging octatonic ostinato in low strings and guitars as Bond tries to find Silva amid lots of police officers. There's also low strings at the end for when Bond has Silva at gunpoint in the catacombs (one of the officially released clips).
11. She's Mine (Film Version) - I might be wrong, but I remember a longer introduction in the film for when Siva's helicopter lands.
12. The Name's Bond... James Bond (Skyfall Version) - Different from the one heard in CR, and not just in the orchestration. Features the take on the Bond theme's chords heard in You Know My Name and Adele's Skyfall (Em-C/E-A rather than Em-C/E-Cm6-5).
 
Wait, when did Silva say her name? I missed that on both showings.

he never did...

he called her "mother" once and referred to her as "mother" late in the film...

M's real name never was said...

and it's NOT Emma, either...
 
Great great movie. 9/10 easily. Everything was phenomenal
 
It was just the different accents that it sounds like something else, but they all called her 'M'.
 
No, i'm almost positive the older guy in scotland called her emma. Which confused me but it was most likely him assuming her name was emma not knowing who she really was and hearing james call her "em".
 
I think it's either his accent, or him mistaken her name as 'Emma'. Kindcade doesn't know what Bond does for a living and I'm sure 'M' would be a weird name for a lady, so he probably misheard Bond.
 
If her name isn't Emma, you would think she would correct him.
 
What? And tell her name is 'M'. Is he gonna get it? Nah.
 
I don't think she would care anyway. They're about to get attacked by a fabulous super villain.
 
Yeah, if my life is at stake, one of the last things I'm worrying about is someone saying my name wrong. Lol
 
Just saw it, see this in IMAX, totally worth my money. Not the end all be all but a great wait to reintroduce some old stand byes of Bond.
 
Was QOS a great movie, heck no, but it was okay. Certainly nowhere near one of the worst Bond films ever. Heck, I'd take it over almost any Moore film.

I can agree with this.
 
I wouldn't read into it much. I think it was just Kincade being playful with M.
 
I doubt there will be a Bond section, we had one before and it got cut, I talked to Mirko and I don't think the site intends going there again.
I believe it deserves one more then say GI: Joe....
While I feel the universe has its merit, frankly it's just not big enough to garner that much discussion on here. Now if he put on a batsuit...

There's plenty to talk about when it comes to Bonds world. Future films, past Films, Books, Gadgets, Lifestyle, Music, Characters...there's plenty to talk about. I mean there's already about 6 different threads in the misc films section.

LALD

imho are much better than QoS

Moonraker
TMWTGG
Octopussy
AVTAK

These movies are much worse then QOS. Also the 3 Brosnan films after GoldenEye are too. Also I'm not sure IMHO that LALD is much better then QOS...
 
This is cool.

They missed the girl on the boat at the beginning of TLD, Caroline from GE, Cecile Thomsen and Daphne Deckers from TND, Cigar girl from TWINE, M from SF and quite a few others. If they're going to include certain ones who barely appear then they should include others too.

I like Blacksploitation so LALD is one of my favorite ever James Bond movies.

THERE ya go...
 
IMHO, the absolute bottom of the 007 barrel...

Diamonds
Live and Let Die
Golden Gun
Moonraker
View to A Kill
Die Another Day

confirming to myself once again that Roger Moore was the worst of the Bonds... I'll take George Lazenby and his OHMSS ANY day...
