Meltdown from the tension of chronic debating EA?

Now that the muppets have been uncovered, we can continue the dabate. Who do you think will provide the Bond theme for the next Bond movie BJ and will it be an improvement on the last few installments?

Good question.......Um.........i dont know but it better be very good.

Your right though the last few films have had a very average main theme tune.

Goldeneye was pretty good (sounded more like the traditional Bond
song style from the Barry era).

TND :- Like a lot of people i thought 'The Pretenders' song used at the end of the film was better suited to the tone of the film than 'Sheryl Crows'
song.

TWINE:- The song from 'Garbage' was i thought...eh..garbage.

DAD:- Madonna.........unusual song, not bad in places.

CR:- Initially disliked the song, but it sort of grows on you.

I think we can expect another less than traditional type of Bond song for the upcoming film though.

Amy Winehouse would be a perfect choice but Eon probably is tired of the negative press about her drug problems. Daughtry, from American Idol would come cheap, and sold over 3 million CDs to boot in 1 year. I do believe it will be a female voice this time, whoever is selected, and hopefully not Avril Lavigne.

I seriously doubt they'd go for Lavigne. Daughtry is not a bad choice and would be suitable if they wanted to continue with that Wings and Chris Cornell rock vibe.

I agree. Goldeneye was the last 'great' Bond song. Madonna, Garbage and Sheryl ranged between average and poor for me.

I actually enjoyed Cornell's, and for me it was one of the better aspects of CR.

Cornell's song was OK but it is funny how sometimes Eon chooses very well known singers, and at other times more obscure singers. Who knows what mood Broccoli will be in for this film.

From reading those threads, i got the impression you were made to feel about as popular as 'A fart in a Spacesuit' on those sites.

The MI6 thread responses were amusing.... as usual.

The CBn thread responses were dull.......as usual.

Captain Arthurs and 007Ant put Benny back in his place and made him look quite foolish to his own people at MI6. Great work to both of those posters.

Not sure skywalker the one thing i liked about royale was the song by Chris Cornell it certainly grew on me. Maybe a classic and classy tune is needed the thing is that music nowdays is so bland and unmemorable no one seems to stand out.

Cornell seemed right out of left field, but i am a huge sound garden fan.
I liked the song but i preffered the CD version as the film version seemed to suffer from poor sound in the cinema i saw it.

I enjoyed Cornell's. For me it was a return to form, although I'd prefer a classic Bond ballad for Craig's next Bond film.

If Winehouse stays sober, you will get it. I only wish we would get a 'classic' Bond 'actor' as well Skywalker. It looks like TBU will end it's very successful USA run now, with a whopping $225 million in USA ticket sales, which is $100 million over the first Bourne film. To date, the international market has raked in another $162 million($45 million from the UK and areas) for a total of $387 million worldwide. TBU will never come close to the worldwide gross of CR, but The Bourne Mimicry(real title soon to be announced), will never come close to doing the same USA box office as TBU, which had a $110 million budget. I would assume Everything Or Nothing will top the budget of CR and go over the $150 million production expense.

He's a good guy that Captain Arthurs. 007Ant is pretty decent too.

What type of Bond film do you think he will make?

What is his style?

They certainly are and are great contributors to the cause.
