James Bond In Skyfall - Part 3

[Gold Samurai]

I don't remember any bad language in the conference.

Just a precaution you know?

 

[Symbiotic]

I'm not talking about Skyfall necessarily, but what would you guys say to a Bond movie where Bond spends the whole movie with facial hair of some kind?

 

[MiniBond]

I hate this man t:

 

[Dark Raven]

I hate this man t:

Then you should show your hatred of him by boycotting the movie and not watching it.

 

[Raiden]

Any word on who's doing the song? I hope they continue with not using the name of the film as the theme song.

I hope they'll hire Muse to do a song for Skyfall. Their song Undisclosed Desires might as well be made with 007 in mind imo:

Muse would be an excellent choice aswell.

 

[spidey-dude]

yeah I would LOVE muse to do it!

 

[Hunter Rider]

Wow, you have serious nerd points Hunter Rider! I mean that in a good way!

Not to question his nerd status, but they did announce that it was 50 years to the day in the press conference, and it was said before too in various press media.

Heh! t: Yeah I can't lay claim to that one, it was what I heard on the press conference.

Yes, she would be. I've always liked the idea of there being at least one or two female 00's in MI6. I think now is as good a time as any to introduce one.

I just don't want her being promoted in the sense that Berry was. I know Jinx was supposed to get her own spin off movie , but i don't want the female 00 overshadowing Bond himself in the movie. I'd like her portrayed the way Joile portrayed her character in Salt. Stoic and badass.

Agreed on both counts, I think instead of making her a female Bond or a stickler for rules type, they should have her be a real pro who gets the job done efficiently.

There are a lot of attractive people in that photoshoot, but Bérénice Marlohe is so absurdly beautiful that she makes them all look like "ordinary people".

If I passed her in the street, my face would probably feel depressed and jump off my skull.

I hope not. The last song "Another Way To Die" sounds completely imaginative, as if they just changed the words of Die Another Day around. You might understand in the case of Casino Royale or Quantum of Solace, but Skyfall could work as the name of a song title.

I actually like it that they haven't used the movie title as the song title for the last few films. Something about using the title in the song that's become a bit corny.

She reminds me of a young Monica Belluci.

She reminds me of a young Monica Belluci.

She looks like Monica and Angelina Jolie's lovechild.

Yum.

Not really. A good song needs a good title. I don't think "You Only Live Twice", "From Russia With Love", "Goldfinger", "Diamonds Are Forever", "Live and Let Die", "A View To A Kill" etc were corny. By contrast, I thought "Another Way To Die" sounded corny.

It's hard enough coming up with a good name for a Bond movie, but then they have to come up with another name for a song.

Many song writers often come up with the title of their song first and write around that, using that to focus their theme. It's only an untalented song writer who is going to think in terms of "what rhymes with Solace?" or "what rhymes with Skyfall?". There are many more ways to write a song than rhyming at the end of a line.

I'm more in favour of the songs actually having the something related to the film, a lot of the Bond songs use the same title as the film for the sake of it. The music might be good but the titles really don't make sense. I don't have a problem with something like 'You Know My Name' because it actually says something.

Caught all the news yesterday but didn't have chance to comment on it. Nice to hear skyfall bee confirmed for film. Short and catchy title. Also glad to hear casting been confirmed for bardem/finnese/harris. Also for the other castings. I am a bit sad and happy harris isn't moneypenny. But I do really want to see monneypenny and q return to the series. As for plot sounds cool. Can't wait for its release next year.

And Skyfall couldn't be related to the film? Even without having thought of specific lyrics, I could easily see a song entitled Skyfall written about mass hysteria, people raising a panic, thinking the sky will fall (like Chicken Licken/ Chicken Little) and prematurely expecting the end of the world etc. I am sure they've picked that title with some of that in mind. You wouldn't even need to make it rhyme, as the word "Skyfall" could easily come in the middle of a sentence or at the start eg "don't expect to see the sky fall down on you".

The title is poetic enough to use as a song title. Why go and call it something else which sounds rather bland when there's a perfectly good song title already?

 

[Webhead2006]

I too would be down with muse for theme.

 

[regwec]

Beware! Beware of
the Skyfall!
For you might get
an eyefull
Of what no one expects
Like your parents having se-e-e-e-e-e-ex!

This just writes itself- someone hire Ms Bassey.

^ A prime example of crap song writing.

Unfortunately lots of people have little imagination and can only think in these terms so would dismiss what would be a decent song title based on something like the above.

 

[regwec]

Hah! You are a cheerful old sod, aren't you?

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah, lighten up a bit. I thought regwec's song was very cute and I laughed especially at the end.

It's equally creative to come up with an original title.

A little poster I whipped up today after the title reveal. Nothing fancy or spectacular, but I am very excited for this film.

Good job!
