Cheers Dave. Is TOTP back on the telly yet?

Lots of people told me the newer (Daniel Craig) Bond's were really good, so I watched Casino Royal ... it's terrible IMHO.

I like the Craig Bond's, but the last one, Skyfall, was pretty silly IMO. Hope Spectre is better.thecontrolcentre wrote: Lots of people told me the newer (Daniel Craig) Bond's were really good, so I watched Casino Royal ... it's terrible IMHO.
Btw, wanna add "The world is not enough" to the themes which have already been mentioned (and which are all good). I really liked that one.

It depends what you want out of bond I guess. The Craig films are much closer to the original 007 book character. If you want campy and light hearted then I guess pre-Craig will be much more to ones taste.thecontrolcentre wrote:Lots of people told me the newer (Daniel Craig) Bond's were really good, so I watched Casino Royal ... it's terrible IMHO.

As for Bond, CR was quite good but the last two were poor. Not very "Bondlike" at all.

The latest Bond isn't even based on a Fleming book. I haven't seen it, or heard the soundtrack, but I did hear a Radio 4 interview with the writer.Kriminal wrote:TOTP's is long dead, tho every now and again its rumoured to be coming back... the 'charts' are all on cable/sky now....

Its the only Bond Theme to get to #1..... but it got to #1 selling less copies than any of the others.

Well, I was expecting bad electro-pop, but it's surprisingly minimalistic and Bond-ish. But forgettable and weak unfortunately, for a Bond theme. The orchestra has more character than Smith's post-male vocals, save for the end's touch of soul. Daniel Craig giving old Sean Connery-vibes was the best thing about the music video really. The beige suit is a nice twist on the Gary Grant-grey. Actually, Craig shouldn't have made it in the video at all. He's like a canadian dry ale in a Coke-commercial, in how he outshines Smith's sensitivity with his masculinity and simple style.
Still miles above most pop music today though. However, the next artist should be someone well above that, (without an orchestra, sorry Sam.) Björk should finally do the next Bond-tune. Nothing wrong with Adele really. Skyfall was good, if not Shirley Bassey. Or maybe Arctic Monkeys? That hasn't been done yet...
Since we're at it, I'm gonna throw in my two cents and just say that the 80s Bond-themes are my favorites. Ain't nobody gonna do it better than Carly Simon...
Even Roger called it his favorite. Actually all the female artists' tunes from that era seem to be very under-appreciated, especially Knights' License to Kill.
The Duran Duran-one is quite good too. I just prefer A-Ha's Living Daylights as the best Bond-rock-tune.

Depends on which chart- Duran Duran's 'A View to a Kill' hit number 1 in several countries, including USA.Kriminal wrote:As a Bond Theme, its one of the worst.

It's my favorite Bond tune. (But also one of the most ridiculous Bond films.)
