bondo 33 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 True, but the benefit of having the complete version is that you can add or remove cues at will. You could easily make a DAD playlist of the more orchestral tracks. The OST is just not the best possible representation of the score.But I see what you're saying though.

fommes 153 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 According to this David Arnold interview:http://www.universalexports.net/interviews...vidarnold.shtmlthe CR cues not on the CD might be released through iTunes! Great! This would be really good, let's hope other scores follow the example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandman609 0 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 If you search for Chris Cornell the only video that comes up is You Know My Name. It's not the trailer, but actually the music video for the song. It's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMacGyver 0 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Well, I have already heard the soundtrack release and also checked Cornell's song.I can tell Arnold made a couple of really interesting and intelligent decisions. Since this is a bond-prequel that shows how bond actually became 007, we never really hear the full monthy norman bond theme until the very end but several pieces of John barry's orchestration coming up here or there and some very slight hints were worked into the underscore. Apparently there is also no gunbarrel. Very clever, because it means we only get to hear bond's theme in full when he actually became 007 by the end of the film. Overall, the score has a rather melancholic feeling with a lot of quiet and slow moving tracks that are nicely orchestrated. There is also plenty of action music, sometimes with rock influences and the use of e-guitars as if arnold wants to musically decribe the character of bond as a young rookie who is in a slight identical crisis (which would also fit in with cornell's rock song). Pretty cool and I am sure the real genius of this score will only be revealed after watching the film. It's clear already that it's not just another brainless and hollow techno-bond from arnold. This time there is actually an idea behind it all. Just may take a while until you get used to this approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just may take a while until you get used to this approach.I agree with your conclusions, but to nitpick, Bond already has his 00-number when the main bulk of the story begins. The two kills required for it will be shown at the start. He's already a double-0 by the time the Royale mission commences. That's how it was in the book, anyway.

Neimoidian 14 Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 In the newest TV spot we can see glimpses from the opening sequence which looks... cartoony (though it is done in cg as everything now) as it was in Maurice Binder era.

Vaderbait1 1 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 "There was something under the chair to make it safe."Does anyone else understand this line?

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 According to Daniel Craig, though, Le Chiffre will be working for a "larger organisation," that will play a much bigger part in Bond 22.

Neimoidian 14 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I like two Dalton's Bonds very much. They are very well made and their more serious approach was a nice change after somewhat ridiculous Moore episodes. However, my least favourite, or even I dare say the one I really dislike is "Diamands are forever". The only thing I remember to be good was te score.

Neimoidian 14 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 It has Connery it is, which is always a good thing!Well ... As much as I am fond of this actor and his Bond portrayal, I don't like in "DaF" that much. He was too old for this role, for my taste (the same goes for Moore in "A View To A Kill"). To some extent (but only to some!) I would prefer Lazenby (sic!) in "DaF" or - it would be even better - to have Moore already ("DaF" was more his type of story, than Connery's).

BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Well, if you ask me now, I do think that The Living Daylights is the worst Bond movie ever. Dalton was charmless in it, horribly bland villian, rubbish finale and I can't stand that cello girl. I have mixed feelings about Diamonds are Forever too...and I can't say I'm too fond of the (overly long) Thunderball, though I was entertained enough.

Ollie 1,059 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 DAF might be the weakest Connery Bond film (I don't count Never Say Never Again).He looks too old and Blofeld isn't that threatening. It was too silly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
