#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Decent film, drags a bit during the end though.Great Bond-girls though, and a kick-ass score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRuleOfThirds 0 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Score-wise, it feels like Goldfinger II. Thunderball the song sounds like an alternate of Goldfinger. Thunderball's probably my 2nd fave Bond score. It's jazzier, bigger, but not as elegant. "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is all right, but it's not the same as "Alpine Drive". There's no equivalent to "Oddjob's Pressing Engagement", but it's cool that Barry wrote "OO7" back into a film, which is in prime-form during the end and in 'Street Chase'. For some reason, I just like Goldfinger more. Thunderball's bigger and longer, but something's missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLord89 0 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 A question: when talking about James Bond's code name, is it spelled with the "O" (the letter o) or with the "0" (the number zero)? I ask this because James Bond is known here in Italy as agent zero-zero-seven, and this made me think if it was right, because the other people at MI6 are named with letters...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Looking at the logo I'd say it's 007, not OO7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker 5 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 In From Russia With Love, Grant calls him "O O" (Oh-Oh) as does Bond historian Steven Jay Rubin on the banned Criterion commentary track found on laser disc.However, on-screen in You Only Live Twice, Bond is referred to as "00" (zero zero), implying it's numbers. The song "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" contains the lyric "That's why the zeroes double" but that song was never used. So if it doesn't appear on-screen, does that make it canon?Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Well if "Double Oh" (as pronounced) could mean the two numbers, surely "oh oh" could as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Isnt 'Oh' a way to designate zero? like nil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 According to a telephone etiquette course I once took, it is incorrect to say "oh" for zero. "O" is a letter, not a number.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 i think the 'O' thing is very british.Could it be that then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 That's quite possible. Now that you mention it I've never heard any non-British people say it referring to the number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
