Quote: Sean Connery just played Bond too damn NICE.

Quote: There was a rather non-Bondian reliance on automatic weapons that bothered me.

Quote:Originally posted by Bytemite: My impression of Bond from the books is that he's more intimidation, "I'll do what I'm told, but I'll do it MY way," or in the case of women, pure magnetism.

Quote:1) Brosnan, a great Bond.
Quote:2) No silly Batman-esque trap where he's left to die & no one sticks around to make sure.
Quote:3) Great music, some of the best.
Quote:4) Strongest female lead since Pussy Galore, and a better fighter!
Quote:5) Bond sitting there with vodka & a gun ready for the worst- CLASSIC!
Quote:6) Sincere regret, the most you'll ever see out of Bond, at the killing of Paris in his room.
Quote:7) Supervillain with realistic means to an insane end.
Quote:8) No invisible car, phony rear screens, or shoot out in a space station.
Quote:9) Excellent final confrontation & fight scene!
Quote:10) No throw-away female characters (always bugged me, like Kissy Suzuki- make love to her, see her killed, move on to the next warm body without pause...)

My favourite Barry stuff was on Goldfinger, Diamonds are forever & Man With The Golden Gun. However, since Barry was not an option on TND for whatever reason, Arnold did an amazing job including Barry's riffs into the score, I thought. The thematic Chrisisall

Quote:until Tomorrow Never Dies- I loved his Barry inclusion...much like Brian Tyler's soundtracks for Rambo & AVP Requiem, so cool to hear the themes, even if the original composers aren't available/alive to do them.

Quote:The difference to me is, Barry, Goldsmith, & Silvestri write stuff you can listen to independent of the movie, not so with Arnold & Tyler, who are movie specific...'fanfare'-like as you might say.

Quote:Originally posted by lwaves: it's certainly nowhere near as bad as Die Another Day. And the invisible car ain't the worst bit, I'll save that for Madonna (shudders at the thought of her).

I'd never heard of him before Goldeneye, and I sussed that out. But Bond movies aren't really known for revelatory plot twists (not to me, anyway), so it didn't bother me. The point was Bond didn't know, and that worked well enough. "I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

Quote: Does Sonisall like Bond? Do you let him watch them (I forget his age - 9??).
Quote: I like the idea of having 'themed' film seasons and it's something we do.

Quote:Originally posted by lwaves: I don't know what else Sean Bean had done before Goldeneye without looking it up but in the UK he'd played Sharpe in several TV shows that were really popular. I'm sure it works the other way with US stars that Brits have never heard of. "I don't believe in suicide, but if you'd like to try it it might cheer me up to watch."
