TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Cavill is a non-starter. Brosnan and Moore were famous but had not been top billed in multiple 100 million dollar movies. I kinda think they absolutely have to go with a black guy or the backlash would be monumental. It won't be Idris. But I think atleast not actively considering a black Bond would be a PR disaster. Also think about it, what could be the possible upside for going with another white man? Where could the series go from there? Critics will say been there, done that, what is this franchise doing? I said the same thing about Star Wars sequel - they made a consequential change - a female Jedi hero. Without that, there would be no reason to make the sequels. Bond will for better or worse have to come into today's woke culture. There is no getting around that. Welcome to the real world folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, this is almost as long as Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and Endgame. It's longer than The Dark Knight Rises, An Unexpected Journey and Cameron's Avatar. Meanwhile, movies that SHOULD have been a little longer (cof cof TROS) are cut to the bones and filled with holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony 572 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 If you look on Cary Fukanaga's Instagram story currently, there's a video of him in the studio with Zimmer. With a high-pitched drone sound playing in the background, Zimmer says "I just know we can make more interesting things. I just know were can make more interesting things than the one that was in.". There's something amusing about this. Funny yet exactly the kind of thing I'd expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,651 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 gk, what would you say to the many people I've seen who want Idris Elba to play James Bond because he'd be an excellent James Bond? Because that's a separate scenario from what you're mentioning, and I've seen plenty of people online respond to that sentiment with "James Bond is WHITE!"

People across the world of differing ethnicities/races/sexualities/genders have been enjoying (and making box-office hits of) the Bond films for almost 60 years with a white dude in the lead role. Plus if it goes to a black guy, it adds further fuel to that stupid 'James Bond is a codename' thing ... no it bloody isn't, it's his NAME. 007 is his number, THAT can be passed to another agent.

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Song's here! Lyrics: I should have known I'd leave alone Just goes to show That the blood that you bleed, Is just a blood you own We were a pair But I saw you there Too much to bear You were my life but life is far away from fair Was I stupid to love you Was I reckless to help Was it obvious to everyone else? That I fallen for a light you were never on my side Fool me once, Fool me twice Are you death or paradise? Now you'll never see me cry, There's just no time to die. I let it burn You're no longer my concern Faces from my past return Another lesson learned, To learn..... That I fallen for a light you were never on my side Fool me once, Fool me twice Are you death or paradise? Now you'll never see me cry, There's just no time to die. No time to die, No time to die, Fool me once, Fool me twice Are you death or paradise? Now you'll never see me cry, There's just no time to die.

KK 3,307 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I like it. Nice and mellow. Better than Smith's song. It's no "Skyfall" though. A better arrangement for the swells would probably have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 David Arnold left the series 10 years ago, but his influence on the title songs that followed is absolutely, 100% noticeable. Sounds like everything after Casino Royale is based on the You Know My Name riff. Nice of her to include the Pearl Harbor love theme, though. Edit: wait, it's upwards. That's the Necromancer theme then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Sounds like Lana Del Rey. It's a good chart song, actually.

Maglorfin 196 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 First listen: Jesus H. Christ, that's boring. She sounds like they had to wake her up and force her to quicky record the vocals so she could go back to sleep. Second listen: Maybe I was being a bit harsh. It's not SO bad.

Holko 9,525 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 That's how mainstream pop works, conditioning you to grow to like uncreative mush through sheer repetition then selling you more and more of the same thing. SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,686 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Very first impression: serviceable and fairly unremarkable. It'll probably improve as I listen more, but whoever wrote that melody (if not Eilish) was not having an inspired day. I think Skyfall set a modern standard for Bond songs with a really strong melody. This is nowhere near. MikeH and 1977 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
