THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH - title song by GARBAGE
Wondering why there is nothing but old news on the front page? Click here and find out!!!
Hey folks, Harry here. Well, I went and listened to the opening title music from THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH and ya know what? It doesn't suck really bad. I don't know if it's classic... Need to see the accompanying visuals... hear if the them is echoed throughout the film, or merely in the opening titles... you know... Watch the film... get a feel for it. But I checked it out at The Definitive James Bond Sounds Page or... more specifically on their THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH page. They have the title song in real audio and MP3, so that's where it is at.

nuff said...no wait!! for all the kids out there, guns are not sexy and are not 'cool'. uncle baff was just talking nonsense. tommorow never dies was ok but the beginning was eye-candy brilliance!!!baff

Butch Vig, the drummer, produced THE definiative early 90s' alternative albums such as Nirvana's "Nevermind" (one of, if not THE best album of the 90's) and, my personal favorite, the Smashing Pumpkins "Gish" and "Siamese Dream". ALL HAIL SP! Therefore, this song, in turn, will rock.
-
BRING BACK SHIRLEY BASSEY !
-
Hey folks, Darren here. You know what, Garbage doesn't seem like the traditional choice for a JB opening credit band. It is a good one though! They usually pick some lame, has-been, adult contemporary who hasn't had a top 40 hit in years.
-
I hate how for the James Bond movies they usually take some band with talent and bite, and then they have the write a song that ignores their talents. All Bond themes sound the same, and are mainly supposed to be background for the dancing images of women and guns. I love Garbage, but this song has very little to do with them. -Loki
-
That girl has got some bad habits. Garbage are an abomination as a band. Their low-grade, faux-angst pisses me right off, but more importantly their songs are crap. The best Bond song was The Living Daylights by Norwegian fops, A-Ha. And while I'm at it, Pierce Brosnan can go and fuck himself too. I hate the way he minces around like he's got a potato up his shitter. If you're talking Bond, you're talking Roger Moore. So it's Roger Moore and A-Ha for me. Classy!
-
Sorry about the false start........don't ban me, just hack off my disobedient finger !
Did someone just say Moore was Bond ? Was he smiling when he said it, because I sure hope he was. Bond is a cold, calculating assasin. Bond is a dangerous man. Bond kills without remorse or regret.
Roger Moore is a light comedy actor, who made the part......light comedy. So you prefer Bond to be chasing around Venice in a souped up gondola, which can turn into a hovercraft, to, lets say Bond facing Oddjob in Fort Knox.
Bond chasing 'round in a Citroen 2CV comically (laugh ?.....I thought I'd never start)to Bond in real danger being chased by a Spectre helicopter over open ground. There's no accounting for taste, or its absence.
The Spy Who Loved Me was entertaining, despite being a waterlogged retread of You Only Live Twice, but Moonraker ? Who shat on a piece of paper and called it a script? Why Christopher Wood, known in a previous incarnation as Timothy Lea, the writer of a series of soft core pornography films in the early and mid seventies like Confessions of a Window Cleaner, Confessions of a Driving Instructor, et al ad nauseum. Suddenly, puns like "I think he's attempting re-entry" fall into place, do they not ?
Please, if we're going to talk sensibly about Bond movies, let's leave Jolly Roger out of it. His portrayal plummetted after The Man With The Golden Gun, and a proper Bond was not to be seen on screen again until Dalton. -
I just got done listening to the new James Bond song from Garbage. I think it is Great!! Shirley and the rest made a fine addition to an already fine collection of Bond theme songs. I also think that bringing back Shirley Bassy for another go is a good idea as well.
-
While TWiNE was still in the planning stages I had this idea, so I'll lay it on talkback once again for discussion (Quentin, this oldy is for you). Why not make a movie with ALL the bonds (Lazemby, Connery, Moore, Brosnen, and Dalton). In this movie you would establish that "James Bond 007" is simply a code name for Brtain's top agent, and that a fading Spectre wishes to avenge itself by eliminating all the men who have held that honor. You could start it off (Teaser) with spectre "taking out" Geroge Lazemby, and then follow up (after the musical intro) with brosnen having to go out and find Connery, and just keep going from there. I think that this approach could really invigorate the franchise, and allow for more interesting directions in the future (The "top" agent can be just about anybody right?) Originally I suggested that by the end, BrosnenBond would quit, and Roger Moore would take over as Q. Anywho, just thought I'd lay this idea out for debate.
-
Wasn't this concept done already in the movie Casino Royale (not related to the book)?
-
...You know, that would actually be really cool. Personally, if anybody gets whacked at the beginning, it should be Dalton. I dunno, he just didn't seem to fit. But that's just me. I actually thought Lazenby was cool. Well, time to go get boozed up. G
-
1)Connery is the best film Bond. Period.
2)David Arnold, for me, runs a fairly close second to John Barry in the score department.
3)Brosnan makes a pretty good 007 for the '90's (better than Moore ever did anyway).
4)Dalton portrayed the character as close to Fleming's original as Broccoli would allow.
5)Lazenby is highly underrated.
6)Shirley Bassey sang the best themes (a tip of the hat to RobinP).
AND...
007)I am not impressed by the Garbage song although I do think the band is aptly named. I've only listened to the track twice and it did not get any better the second time around. I found it slow and plodding. It just doesn't "feel" right to me. Maybe it's because I was born before the Reagan Administration (WAAAAAYY before).
-
The Garbage tune *has* to be better than that lame Sheryl Crow tune. I'll never forgive them for relegating the far superior kd lang tune to the end credits in favour of a weak voiced superstar...
As for the Bonds film idea... cool. Connery should either be the bad guy or the real hero... -
...why not Garbage? Seems like as a good a choice as any.
And just to set the record straight. Connery was Mean Bond. Moore was Playboy Bond. Dalton was Utterly Boring Bond and Brosnan is Stylish Bond. Oh but wait...wasn't there another one? That guy who made only one movie that we all prefer to forget. Oh well. -

I couldn't possibly eat your fucking ass Jim as Lane Myers seems
by dolfanar
I still think that the fabled "good old days" weren't that great... (That's right boys and girls, that is what subject lines looked like during the "Golden age" of talkbacks... Pretty, aint it?) *** PS - After all this time Jim, SPELL MY FUCKING NAME RIGHT!
-
Garbage does rule.
Peace, I'm outta Heeere!!! -
What about the Tina Turner song for GOLDENEYE? That was pretty cool. And Duran Duran has a special place in my heart, I don't care what anyone says.
Connery will always be the best Bond with Dalton running a close second.
What does everyone think about the TWiNE poster? I like looking at Denise Richards in the foreground, but it just doesn't feel like a Bond poster. Maybe it's because it's white. I can't tell. -
I love Garbage. Their latest album(of the year, in my opinion) 'Garbage 2.0' played in my car for 4 months straight, until TPM knocked it off my charts.
I like the new theme. Garbage doing the 'Bond' style. Very cool. -
I kinda dig Shirley and all her Garbage but I have to agree with Loki above...The song is just well tired...GENERIC...nothing new, I would have thought being the last James Bond song of the millenium, it would rock. THEy al sound the same kinda and well this song just doesn't cut it. BUT THEN AGAIN songs are diffrent from movies, and thats just how I feel about it. Give me PORTISHEAD doing a James Bond theme anyday!
-
I think this song has a lot of elements of other Bond title songs; mood, tempo, bits of the orchestrated theme, sultry voice. It took a bit to download and when I first listened to it I was not impressed. Then I listened again, especially to the words. The more I listen, the more it grows on me, and I really am starting to like it. It's un-Garbage and very Garbage at the same time...weird, I know. BTW, whoever did the MP3 file did a good job on clarity and such. Sometimes they just sound terrible.

Haven't heard the song...YET...and, my opinion on who should be
by beautifulchaos77
unfortunately, my sound on my computer is all out of whack, so, I can't listen to anything...I have to wait until it comes out. I love Garbage, though, and, when I heard that they were doing the theme song, I practically did cartwheels and backflips! As for past Bond themes...The Living Daylights by A-Ha was so rad!!! But, I can't decide which one I like better...Living Daylights, or, View to a Kill by Duran Duran...I mean, to me, View to a Kill was the best song for the absolute WORST Bond movie...the movie reaked. But, the song was so awesome! And, as for the best Bond...well, we all know that Sean Connery definately takes the cake on that one...but, Pierce Brosnan is so sexy...in my book, he's up there with Connery. By the way...I heard that this will be Mr. Brosnan's last appearance as Bond...any truth to that? If that's the case, then I will surely miss him :o( But, I have a great idea for the next in line to play Bond...RUPERT EVERETT!!! Okay, I have a feeling that some of you are going to start in on me with, "He's gay, they need a real man to play Bond!" And, I'm going to say, "Don't give me that shit!" Because, it doesn't matter what Rupert does in his personal life...all that matters is how he plays a character...and, Rupert is a great actor (okay, we'll just pretend that he didn't do Inspector Gadget...hey, we all make mistakes!) not to mention the fact that he is super classy. He'd make a great James Bond...so, Harry, do you think you could have one of your gurus do some talking to Mr. Everett? Convince him to take over the Bond title? I'd be a happy gal!! Smiles to all!
-
Bond is a dated character - Connery was the best Bond because he was the only actor who got a chance to play him around the time the Fleming wrote the pulps. If you want to make the perfect Bond film, make it a period piece set 1955-1965. Keep the villains world-class (come on, a media mogul? And who can take Russia seriously anymore.). Cast Adrian Paul or Sean Bean as Bond and don't worry about making it PC. and by the way, Brosnan is a fine actor, but a terrible Bond. He is way too pretty and soft. He looks like a stiff wind could knock him over.
-
Adrian Paul is the only possble actor to take on the mantle of James Bond, he's physical and has the looks, plus he reminds me of a very young Sean Connery, cool and dangerous.
The comment on making Bond a period piece was a good suggestion, I would have thought that the classic days of spying a la Bond were over now, since the cold war has thawed up to nothing and a return back to the fifties/sixties would be a cool move...and hey let's not forget Sir David Niven he played a great Bond in Casino Royale!! -
. . . am I the only one who thinks that Shirley Manson is. . . well. . . kinda weird looking? I mean, she's freaky. The band is pretty cool, but. . . I hope this movie turns out well, this franchise needs a kick in the ass. Although Denise Richards as a Nuclear Physicist? That's pretty hard to swallow. Yikes, that was a pretty serious double entendre, eh?
-
Hey I know we have some common interests, as we have talked before, but I have to disagree with you about Moore. Maybe it is because I grew up watching Moore as 007, but I thought he was cool as bond. I like all the bond films, but my favorites are the Moore and Brosnan films. I really Like Pierce as 007 and I also think Connery was great, hell he was the original. Dalton was just too serious for me, probably due to growing up watching Moore, and Lanzyby(sp) came off as a Fill-in-because-we-could-not-get-Connery type. So for me the best 007 or bond films go like this: Moore, Brosnan and Connery in a tie, Dalton, Then Lazenby. This favorite list is based on my opinion of the person playing 007 and the films they are in.
-
the Bond franchise was about to die a horrible death before Roger Moore came in and reinvented the character, adding some humor and wit to the extremely DATED notion of a cold war spy that Connery played in the 60's. And for those Connery purists, I damn you to an eternal hell of watching "Dr. No", which, although the first Bond movie, has got to be one of the most silly and boring Bond movies ever, period. Personally I think Timothy Dalton was also a great Bond, very British, very kick ass. However, he wasn't as cute as the other bonds, and Licence to Kill was too dramatic a departure for most Bond fans to swallow. Lazenby only made one flick and it's kinda hard to judge him based on that. Brosnan is OK, but I think the real reason he gripes about there being "too much action" in Tommorow never Dies is because Michelle Yeoh made him look like a weenie chump and he couldn't stand being upstaged by such a kick ass girl. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
-
Someone mentioned above that Rupert Evertt should play Bond. Well, I don't remember where I heard this, but I think he's trying to make a Bond or a Bondish movie with the main character (played by Rupert)being gay. I'm not sure if it would be a parody or a serious movie, anyone else heard anything to back me up here? But, gay or straight, Rupert would make a great Bond-like character, if not Bond, because he has the attitude, the humour, the style and the looks to carry it out. It would be nice to see something different come out of the Bond francise because, yeah they're classics, but they need a little spicing up. and I think Rupert could do it.
-
even though I'm from Ireland, with Pierce Brosnan as Bond, I have to state honestly my thoughts about his last two Bond pics. DOES ANYONE ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON EITHER IN GOLDENEYE OR TOMORROW NEVER DIES?
I mean where was the plot? I think they Cubby Broccolli et al lost it somewhere in the mid 80s. At this stage, I and I think many of the millions who watch this every couple of years just go for the action sequences, Q, and of course, the bond girls (who absolutely must never get their kit off, of course) but no plot whatsoever. At least when they based the films on Fleming's original books, the films had a decents stories as well as action sequences. I hate to be rudimentary, but it's doing the audience a disservice - ok, they're giving us cool sequences but where are the cords that bind?
However, I shall probably end up seeing it just for the delectable Sophie Marceau, if for nothing else... -
MGM had that chance as there were serious sreenplay-efforts into that direction - and did not go for it! It would have been the perfect "Millenium"-Bond, taking the series into new grounds as the millenium turns, beeing even in the midst of the other Bond-Vehicles a true EVENT-MOVIE!!! They even had their bond-villain there wide open: have Lasenbys version go nuts over the death of his wife, damning the royal family and all of Britain for it, over the years rebuilding "Spectre" after the death of Blofeld of Lasenbys own hands and threatening the destruction of the British Empire - thus forcing all other bonds to come back to work unter Brosnan-Bond
-
The most exciting thing to me is the creators Arnold/Black. This means David arnold is back. I think he did the best score for years. Lets forget the Eric Serra debacle shall we? ("There hasn't been any bond movie in years. I think I'll only play the bond theme on drumsamples. To hell with anybody longing to hear the Theme again. Oh they rescored the tank chase without me. Bah, what do the fans know, thiz iz art!")
Sorry about that, but does anybody remember his endcredits song to GoldenEye? Lamest of lame.I believe the producers said it was an ill judgement on their parts. Arnold knows his Bond. Anybody has any suggestions what composer they would like if Arnold was unavailable? -
I couldn't get this thing to load. I am a fan of both Garbage and Bond, so I am perturbed. I agree with the above person who mentioned Portishead. Their sound is perfect for a Bond theme. Maybe they'll have a shot at the next film. Weren't they rumored to have this gig at some point? A potpourri of my Bond opinions...Best song: "Live and Let Die" ("Goldfinger" and "The Living Daylights" deserve honorable mention and there actually isn't a bad Bond theme in the mix in my opinion - with the exception of "Moonraker" and "All Time High")...My Top 5 Bond Films (in chronological order): Goldfinger, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me, and The Living Daylights...Most Humorous Allusion in a Bond Film with Personal Resonance: Licence to Kill's use of Wichita Falls as likely home for someone willing to give money to a televangelist...Favorite Bond Girl: Barbara Bach, a.k.a. Agent XXX...Most Unintentionally Humorous Part of a Bond Film: Tomorrow Never Die's laughable use of a "stealth boat." It brought to mind a same-named vehicle from Van Damme's Street Fighter. My laughter drove me to tears at both shows.....Let's hope The World Is Not Enough is an improvement over Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies. Nothing against Brosnan, but I thought both were awful.
-
Best Bond theme song. Irreplaceable. I'm not that big a fan of Roger Moore, either, and this was probably his only good Bond film (hell, all of his non-Bond movies sucked even worse than "A View to a Kill"- don't make me mention "Fire and Ice" or "Spice World"), but I still think that this would be the diamond in Moore's roth (plus Barbara Bach as that sexy Russian spy). By the way, did anyone know that "You Only Live Twice" was scripted by Roald Dahl? Yes, the author of "James and the Giant Peach!"
-
This is just something that I remember reading, but I think what happened (as regards Portishead "once having this gig") was that they were going to cover one of the Bond songs for the Shaken And Stirred: The David Arnold Project album (off which the first single was Propellerheads version of "OHMSS"), but for some reason or another their bit didn't materialize, and the work they had done ended up as "All Mine".
-
Main points of a post that seems to have got lost: 1) Jason Patric is the only person I can think of who would be a great Bond - dark, mean & powerful. 2) There is no-one British who fits the bill, although Ewan McGregor would be good in a different way. 3) Is Christian Bale going to be suitable after American Psycho? 4) Instead of just finding the best guy around, they should wait for someone who is really really good as Bond, using the time until then to develope some really good scripts 5) Has there ever been a proper James Bond film? - think of your idea of James Bond, how and in what ways he and the films are great - has there really been a Bond film that lives up to this? 6) Best: Russia With Love, worst: Man With The Golden Gun 7) My James Bond script - fuse Russia With Love with Day Of The Jackal, Bond is trying to track down this deadly guy, whilst at the same time being persued by a second enemy. Starts with some shitty little mission (like retrieving some spy gadget or whatever) but he gets deeper and deeper into a vast conspiracy. Ends after some huge Earth-saving underground climax, with Bond emerging from a subway entrance and a long shot of him vanishing anonymously into the crowd. They shall never know.
-
When I find myself in league with both Sarin Rufus (in TWO talkbacks) and Montag606. It is a triumvirate of evil. But goddamit it's true. Brosnan is sucking the life out of Bond, and I think he has the potential, it is just unrealized. 606 is right, they need to release Bond, make the movies R-rated, and let the beast out. Goldeneye was bland eyecandy, andI was so disappointed I never saw Tomorrow Never Dies. And what's up with the bond women??? Teri Hatcher? Denise Richards?? Where's the sexy, sultry, sophisticated super babes of the past? Xenie Onatopp (or whatev) was ok, but what they have none of that sinister soul (the bad girls) or sultry innocence (the good girls) like the Bond babes of old. Who's with me on this?
-
Talking about Bond themes, which we were.....does ANYBODY out there know whether Alice Cooper was up for the theme song job on "The Man With The Golden Gun". I know Lulu actually sang the theme, but on Alice's "Muscle of Love" album from that time, there's a song called "Man With The Golden Gun" and it sounds really Bond-like.
This has been driving me NUTS since 1975, and if anybody can answer, I'd be very grateful. Not grateful enough to give you money....just grateful. -
Y'all know it makes sense.
-
Some ideas..... 1) Dump Brosnan in favor of the Barbarian Brothers. 2) Replace boring, old BMW w/ the Brothers taxi from D.C. CAB. Y'know, the one that only drove in reverse. 3) Fill out the Bond Babe roster with the female cast members of the long-cancelled "Growing Pains" spin-off "Just The 10 Of Us." 4) Farm out all scoring duties, theme song included, to Foreigner. 5) Bring back Jaws because, frankly, I'm worried about Richard Kiel. I haven't seen him since the mid-80's, when he was doing some lame Disney Channel promo with his daughter. 6) Seeing as how that was fifteen years ago, check into viability of having Richard Kiel's daughter appear as a Bond Babe. 7) Clone Desmond Llewelyn *now,* as he is truly indespensible, and that I'm still mad at John Cleese for THE OUT-OF-TOWNERS. 8) There have been no ninja's since YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. Why? Cast a whole, heapin' load of ninja's for next Bond film. 9) Quit pussyfooting around with the Joe Don Baker character, and admit he's Mitchell already. 10) Screw Foreigner. Farm out all scoring duties to Hoyt Axton. -- By incorporating all of these suggestions, I believe you will have a massively rejuvenated Bond franchise ready to march into the 21st Century with its integrity intact. And, of course, with Mitchell (all praise due to MST3K for that final jolt of inspiration.)
-
Fear not, Jaws ain't oput of works yet, didn't you see him in BILLY MADISON. Rufus, I (reluctantly) admit, you are SO right. Bond needs a makeover if he is to survive. Sadly, I fear he won't get one because many Americans will take whatever is shown them. Tarantino - I don't know about that. . . as long as it;s not Joel Schmuckmaker. But I think Brosnan could do it, if they had better scripts that allowed for the original Fleming-Bond. I'm interested to see the new villain, he looks like he could be cool, but. . . then again, I said the same of Jonothan Pryce. I say Linda Fiorentino for the next bad Bond Babe, Tim Roth in Rob Roy mode for the villain, and anyone but HEather "I'm hot but can't act" Graham for the next female lead. Of course, it'll never happen, but it's nice to wish, dontcha think?
-
We really haven't seen a "dmaged" Bond. I heard the in the new one her get injured could be interesting.
As for Garbage, I like 'em. Much better choice than Sheryl Crow. I haven't heard the song yet though. -
Remember the band, "Curve", also from England? Their big hit in the early 1990s was "Horror Head?" They really didn't pick up as well in the States like Garbage but c'mon, both bands sound 90% the same. I just hate it when these pretentious sell-out bands do well when they "borrow" more than they should to become successful.
As for the new bond move...can't wait! Bring back Goldfinger. He had a parachute underneath his coat all the time! -
I was going back over the Bond films since my last post, and I remember something I suppose I should have mentioned. Am I the only person who realizes that the American characters in the Bond movies are, for the most part, insulting stereotypes? This is not to say anything bad about the series altogether, of course, but if I have to sit through one more comic relief Yank (examples include the redneck in "Goldeneye") then I swear to God I'll start ripping things off the bottom of my movie seat and begin throwing them at the screen. I mean, what the HELL was up with that redneck sheriff in those Roger Moore movies?!
-
On the subject of good Bond songs, everyone seems to be forgetting 'Live and Let Die' by Paul McCartney.
-
Nightsir - That would have definatly kicked ASS. Maybe they will make something like it nonetheles. - - - - -- - - - - - -- - -- - - - - - - - - - -- r_dimitri22 - Haven't seen Street Fighter, but the boat from Tommorrow Never Dies is fairly accurate for a stealth boat. Lockheed Martin's Skunkworks worked on a stealth boat in the early and mid- eighties (assuming I get my dates right) - - -- - - - - -- - - - -- - - - - -- PacoChaos - I like Britney Spears. She kicks major ass. However, 1. I doubt she writes her own songs, and 2. Before you get all psycho about it, I honestly do not think she would do good as a theme for JAmes Bond. - -- - - -- -- -- - -- -- -- - - - -My thoughts - 1. I like Brosnan. The way he displacy himself flows extremely well with the Bond caracter. (as the saying goes, I ain't a proffessional critic, but I know what I like). I liked Goldeneye, but I really couldn't stand Tommorrow NEver Dies. (that sheral Crow song, yuck!) 2. I think the song is good, but it not particalularly great. They really should have let Garbage go all out and do something like the song Special. 3. 3 potential Bond girls for the New millineium (give em about 10-15 years) Mellesse Joan Hart, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Natilie Portman...(add as you like)
-
Bond girls are supposed to mature, sultry. . . interesting. HArt and Hewitt are and always will be nothing but teeny-bop popcorn-bubble-gum girls. Jennifer Lopez could pull it off, maybe Natasha Henstridge. We need to stop having them be so young, Denise Richards is a terrible choice, they need to be more. . . demure. As for theme songs, Live and Let Die is by far the best one. I think they should stick to British bands, I'd like to hear Oasis do one, or maybe they should techno it up a bit, like Moby or Underworld or Massive Attack. Discuss.
-
Simple. Watch her in Clarrisa explains it all (her major tv show) That shows some excellent potential. I agree she is going to be the teenie-boper for a couple more years, thus why I said give her 10-15. That would put her at 25-35 (I don't know how old she is). Obviously this is assuming Bond isn't dead in 10-15 years, but if it isn't, well, who would you get to play the Bond girl? She has a boat load of potential. Hell, I had Jim Carrey pegged as doing only comedy until Truman Show. If Jim Carrey, the guy who coined the idea of talking out of your ass can do serious stuff, why can't MJH be a future Bond girl? As I said, though, she will need time to come full circle, and be able to do Bond.
-
. . . Ursula Andress, Lana Wood, Kim Basinger, Maud Adams, Famke Janssen. . . Melissa Joan Hart? Jennifer Love Hewitt? You're funking crazy. There is no way. What you fail to realize is that Hart and Hewitt are nothing more than modern day Molly Ringwalds. There is no depth to them. Did any of the above actresses ever do a movie as banal as Drive Me Crazy? Or I Know What. . . Ever the Fuck?? Explain the transition from Clarissa Explains it All to James Bond movie for me?? I think you have a misconception of what is sought after in a Bond girl. If those two H's continue on the track they are currently on, they haven't a PRAYER. Sure, they're pretty, but it's more than that. That's like saying the Backstreet Boys should do the soundtrack. And. . . WAITAFUCKINMINNIT!!! Did you say Britney FUCKING SPEARS?? A Bond girl? Jesus, why am I even arguing. This is a waste of my time. I apologize for the rant.
-
You mean Sheriff J.W.Pepper, Louisiana State Police ?
Oddly enough, the same actor (Clifton James) turned up playing virtually the same role in "Superman 2"
Small world, huh ? -
Am I the only one who thinks the TWINE theme sounds a LOT like the kd lang "Tomorrow Never Dies" song from the end of that movie? Especially the refrain? Of course I'm not. It's not a bad song, though. (I liked the universally hated Sheryl Crow one, too, though.)
-
I agree with someone who posted earlier about the travesty of Sheryl Crow being selected as the theme-singer for "Tomorrow Never Dies". K.D. Lang's version was far superior and had a vastly more "Bond feel" to it. Too bad the movie itself wasn't as good as the song. I walked out of it thanking God that I wasn't coerced into buying an Infiniti.
AS for the different actors who've portrayed Bond, I guess my list reads like this:
Sean Connery: The "cool and best-wisecracking" Bond.
Roger Moore: The "funniest one-liner delivery" Bond.
George Lazenby: The "close to the book but hampered by Connery's appeal" Bond.
Timothy Dalton: The "pissed-off and at least it's not Flash Gordon money" Bond.
Pierce Brosnan: The "ultra-suave but one-dimensional" Bond.
Of course, all my opinions...as for "TWINE", I'm looking forward to it, all except Denise Richards. I can already tell that I'm gonna hate her character more than Bibi in "For Your Eyes Only". Might as well have thrown Tori Spelling in there, IMO. Flame away! -
Well, my psychologist said we had a breakthrough 2 weeks ago, so I don't qualify as insane anymore, merely manic depressive ;) 1. Britney Spears was more of a wish list than anything else. Don't even know if she can act, so I will remove that one. That said, teenie bop movies are a recent trend/invention. Brosnon will last another 5-10 years. At that point they will need a new bond. Then, given the chance, I think they have serious potential. Either that, or they could always play the unwiting bond women, you know, the kind that have know intention of getting involved. Given the chance, I honestly think that MJH and JLH would do a good job with it. - - - - -- - - Maybe I am all wet, but I think they could do a good job. Don't know until you give them a chance
-
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that 007 movies have become 2 hor commercials for: BMW, Ericson moble phones, Smirnoff, etc?

I've listened to the new song by Garbage, it ain't bad. It grows on you. By far, the best song to date is the end track from Tomorrow Never Dies, Surrender, by K.D. Lang. This is by far the best Bond song to date. Did they screw up or what putting Sheryl Crow's entry into the series. Noboby remember's her song and nobody will remember K.D.'s since it was at the end.
As for the Best Bond actor, Sean is the best, and Timothy Dalton gave the best portrayal since Sean.
Its too bad all you little kids grew up with Roger Moore and Remington Steele.

Since my post of last Sunday got inexplicably deleted, I'll just repeat what I said earlier: I like the Garbage tune but I wish Portishead was doing the theme instead. "Sour Times," "Strangers" or "Wandering Star" off of the Dummy album *alone* would have made great Bond themes. And my fave Bond's in ascending (worst to best) order: 5.)Moore, 4.)Lazenby, 3.)Dalton, 2.)Brosnan and 1.)Connery. Chao, babys.

DAVID BOWIE should do a theme. His new album (which is the poodle's privates) has at least 3 tracks which would make ace bond themes. Thursday's Child is one of 'em. George Michael would e good. It seems to me that these songs are trying to be be too 007. They're all starting to be a bit samey. HGow about a song for bond20 where we don't go...'oh...Bond theme!'
