MI:5 next on my list FBF.

Same here.

Instead of rooting for the classic traditional tall and dark-haired Bond to return, why don't we focus campaigning for clearing Jim Phelps' name as real Phelps himself (Peter Graves) was murdered and had name stolen by the imposter (Jon Voight)?

I'm sure it'll be every bit as effective as our campaign to remove Daniel Craig from the role of James Bond.

[Blowfeld]

Looks as if the Ellie Goulding rumours were a tad premature. Mendes said the song is finished and of course is smashing. The book makers were overrun with bets on a certain fellow, who's name escapes me at the moment. Who knows is this is misdirection or true.

Spectre trailer reactions have been OTT to say the least.

Yeah, some of the fans are worse than kids on Christmas morning. Just like Skyfall, Spectre is already being deemed as the "Best Bond film ever" before it's out in theatres. It's always the same old song and dance with these fanatics.

[Daltonite Toothpaste]

And it'll only get worse in the coming weeks. I never thought I would dread the release of a new Bond film. Well, when I say 'Bond film', I mean in as loose a way as possible.

I don't think I've ever been as excited for a movie in my adult life as some of those people are . When I was 12 sure didn't matter if it was lame if the idea was cool in the trailer I'd be excited as the rabid EON fans, not sure if they are bond fans or even Craig fans when it comes down to it I'm sure that happily piss on his memory too when the time comes

Unfortunately they will be releasing another crappy Craig trailer in July 2018.

On what forum is this? Mi6?CBn? I am clueless since I don't visit those forums any more.
As for Spectre...my gut is telling me it won't repeat Skyfall success. Neither money success or critical one. Although I am still wondering if critics were payed to write those positive reviews.
And plus-what in Spectre trailer actually screams "best Bond movie"?

I'm seeing it a lot on Facebook and Twitter. What seems to be provoking the overheated reactions is the fanwanky plundering from OHMSS, even using the theme music in its trailer.

Has anyone seen official trailer #2 on youtube? Posted 18 hours ago. There is one thing in a trailer that could make you laugh. Craig in a white tux.

Yes, the fans over at MI6 were especially over-hyped, but the reactions are pretty much the same on some of the other popular Bond fan sites. Even if I was a fan of the Craig era, I wouldn't get as ridiculously hyped and proclaim Spectre as the best Bond film or even a top five Bond film without actually seeing it first.

But as ridiculous as some of the fan reactions are, I suppose a part of me sort of envies their excitement. It would be nice to look forward to seeing a new Bond film again.

Some of us here might laugh at it, but Craig's white dinner jacket is actually one of the things in the trailer that's generating excitement amongst the over-hyped fans easily persuaded by nostalgia.

I know how you feel,believe me. Then again,I am looking foward to U.N.C.L.E.
I just think it's so sad,you know. You could say Bond was one of the things Brits could be proud of. He was one of a kind. You could see no other spy who was like him. The "Bondness" is just so epic...
I remember what day it was when I first caught a glimpse of Bond on the screen. My mom caught a cold and she couldn't take me to my friend's house. I was sad at first because of course I was really looking forward to it you know. As every child would be. And then I saw this man. Or should I say-I saw Aston Martin first. Then I saw glasses for champagne. Clothes all over the floor. And then Bond girl and a woman. Having danish lesson. Bond answering the phone.
"You always were a cunning linguist,James." Cunning linguist?,I asked myself.
This woman turned and there was this older lady. Hey,I didn't know who Judi Dench was back then.
"Don't ask."
"Don't tell."
And then...I heard that tune. Papaparapapaparapapapapapa. ah,memories. If I keep going I am gonna shed a tear.
Now Bond is like any other spy who can see in Hollywood movies. I once read how if Bond was American a lot of series' appeal would be lost. "Dry British wit is the kind of thing that goes with espionage." Now I know that person spoke the truth.

The thing is that Craig looks so ridiculous in it. It's like you put Yeti in a tux.

I know how you feel. I have forgotten what it's like to be excited for Bond. I never asked to feel this way about my favourite film series. Still, I have had my Bond cinematic fix this year, with the TLD/LTK double bill.

TND had a great score, especially when it comes to the Bond theme.

I mean... I guess this is Broccoli telling us:"Craig is the best since Connery!" Or even better,God forgive me.

I agree. Arnold was a worthy composer,IMO,the best after Barry. You know he is a right guy for the job when he says:"When Bond does something Bondesque there is only one tune you can play."
I would say his first two,TND and TWINE were his best works.He said himself a favourite tune he did was "Elektra's theme".
DAD had those overbeats that I mind but its still overall a fine score IMO. During the summer days I often have "Welcome to Cuba" on a replay. Now maybe this is just me but I feel that he didn't do CR and QOS with the same interest. CR felt for me like I heard a score somewhere before(and not in a Bond movie) and well...I don't even remember QOS movie let alone a score.
