  • Face palm, Jer.  I still can't believe I did that.  I tend to write rather lengthy things in a document before posting or emailing.  And, then, my email was down for a day, so I had a few things to copy/paste.  And, somehow, it seems like the copy doesn't always work, so if I'm not careful, the wrong thing goes to the wrong place. 

    Hahaha!  Yeah, I can guess the first line was quite a shocker.  Seriously, LOL to think about it.  Glad you could forget it...

    God, yes, Alison would be so fine in one of those movies, though I think a cameo, like Madonna, would be just about perfect.  I'm guessing to get Will in a movie, they'd have to drag him kicking and screaming.
  • Yes WW, she'd be perfect for a cameo. Hmm, how would you cast her? I'd cast her as a brooding gypsy cabaret singer. Long and curly dark hair. Maybe with an addiction and affliction. She could sing about her need and how it must be satisfied. It could work into the theme somehow. Now that would be interesting.

  • My 4-pennoth.....makes me puke that Adele got so much praise and fame and awards for the Skyfall theme ( though it was a good ditty yes). Just saying.
    And would I want Goldfrapp to be stratospherically famous?...... nah, I'd far sooner bump into Alison and / or Will down the pub or walking the dog and feel I could try a shy hello. Without being hustled away by five oversized bouncers.
  • That's a pretty good casting, PG.  I never thought about it.  I kinda picture filming her in her natural environment, maybe.  Like in the country with her dog or, maybe, in her cozy little home.  Haven't a clue how to make that work.  Of course, here other natural enviornment is cabaret singer.  You think the Theremin would be too much for a Bond movie?  I think it would actually fly today.  Of course, it would take the attention totally away from Bond for an extended period while people recovered.  That may not be good.  ;~j

  • Nice to see you've become comfortable with the new board, Peter.  New computer?
  • No, same old computer, but I have managed to come to grips with Photo Bucket.
  • so what with the new film Spectre recently announced i made a little bit of artwork to show my support that they need to do the next bond theme. image

  • I'm actually quite pissed at Spectre, we're verging into remake territory now. They were doing so well, if you skip Quantum....
  • Well at least it's Sam Mendes at the helm again...that's saying ALOT.

  • A good director can only compensate so much for a lazy script, and when they can't be bothered to come up with an original idea it doesn't fill me with hope :(
  • Take note, @Sartori. That's cyncism.

    I think.

    If I were dead, could I do this?
  • I think it is important to not assume that this is just a lazy rehash of old ideas. One of the things that has kept Bond as the most successful movie franchise of all time ( given some very dodgy offerings in the late 70's and 80's) is the respect it continues to show to its legacy, and the Daniel Craig era did do a reboot of the series with Casino. Spectre was a creation of Ian Fleming and I, for one, am prepared to see where they take this ( as long as we get a super villains secret base :) )
