I'll let them slide on QoS, at least they kept it going. I want all Bond movies to be wildly successful so I'll have new Bond movies the rest of my life....

Dying to see Skyfall this Friday....

i thought the theme song was awful!

i will see it though.

"Skyfall is where we start
A thousand miles and poles apart
Where worlds collide and days are dark
You may have my number, you can take my name
But you'll never have my heart"

the lyrics are atrocious... i like her voice etc... but that was a tired ca$h grab.

"hey Adele...can we stick skyfall in there somewhere?"
"ell it's kinda stupid sounding...but ...is that a chequebook?"

they need to get rid of the Duran Duran/Adele etc crap theme songs. the skyfall song is garbage.

Imma let you finish, but Casino Royal is the greatest!

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: And even the COMMERCIALS are better than the entirety of Quantum of Solace.

Well, you are alive......

Vexed Thespian: Hollywood Lieberals are so desperate to steal the election that they are outsourcing premiers of one of America's greatest film franchises (behind harry potter) So the demorats aren't too distracted from not having a job to vote for obummer instead of seeing this film.

wow.

Oh, bullsh*t. Quantum of Solace started off in Siena, Italy, the best city on the face of the planet. HOW NOW, TMLO?

I remember when Bond movies were worth watching. Over and over.

I didn't care too much for the theme song and shakycam crap, though.

I DETEST shakycam. Hate it. Hoping there isn't much in Skyfall.

Interesting thing about Casino Royal: Zero smoking. None. Not that I'm a rabid antismoking nut (puffing my pipe at the moment), but I found it interesting that they could eliminate it entirely and not hurt the pacing at all. Mathis snacking on nuts while talking showed how to do it.

Adele's theme song is fine, I've heard a lot worse (Duran Duran suck big hairy sweaty balls) but for me the favourite is Live and Let Die - closely followed by Thunderball.

"Goldfinger" is the archetypal Bond theme song.

sheena easton was the hottest bond singer tho....

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: Howdy there!

Oh how I have missed thee.

The only thing I can add to a James Bond discussion is that there is a Skyfall nail polish collection by OPI that I must own.

You Only Live Twice is good as well. And I like Adele's Skyfall.

I hesitate to even call it a movie.

And it's great to see you back. You had me worried sick, young man.

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: Interesting.

Holy cats, TMLO! Good to see you again.

Duran Duran suck big hairy sweaty balls

I liked View to a Kill only because it's a foxhunting term and I foxhunt.

"Dance into the fire" is an oddly descriptive phrase of hunting, since we all get dressed up and go out and do something truly dangerous (galloping and jumping walls and fences on 1/2 ton beasts). I've had one friend get killed hunting, another with a broken neck and others with various serious injuries. So I listen to it to get psyched up....

Quantum of Solace would have been good...as the 5 minute intro to a real Bond movie.

Agreed it is THE song that screams Bond, but ages ago someone gave me a Bond cd and it got stuck in the car cd player and stuck on that track so it played every time I started the car. It was about a week before the garage could fix it and now it's ruined the song for me. Also, Diamonds Are Forever is great. You can't really go wrong with Shirley Bassey, unless you car has tortured you with it.

I hated QoS the first time I saw it. On repeated viewings I found myself warming to it. It's got some good fights and the opening chase scene is decent.

One scene that impressed me was when Bond knifed the guy in the apartment and calmly held him down while he bled out. Now that's some professional killing there....
