This piece of music was composed by Barry for the OHMSS score, but was never used in the film. You recognise the OHMSS sound. Nice song.

It works better in Tapatalk than in the browser-based version of the forum, but even then, it is erratic.

It does not work and should be fixed. You cannot post a video with your computer and this has been going on a very LONG time. Welcome back Count, after 5 years away, how have you been?

Well, it should, but as far as I know, we don't have anyone here who knows how to do that.

Welcome back Count, after 5 years away, how have you been?

Thanks, I've been alright.

The world is turbulent, hasn't affected me personally, but still.

Regarding this forum, there seems to have been problems and many have left, even the admin?

Yes, nobody has heard from Goldeneye in a long time. I hope he is OK.

Btw, my browser says "this site's connection is not secure".

You don't know who pays for the forum these days? Sounds really weird.

[Kristatos]

The domain name is paid for up until next autumn, I think. I don't know who by, though, it is anonymised. I do seem to spend an awful lot of time these days disapproving spam posts, many of which are written in Cyrillic script.

Maybe it's time to set up a new forum?

Are you guys active on any other Bond forums?

[Kristatos]

We had a big forum crash once, and we did say that if it ever happened again, and didn't fix itself in a few days like it did last time, we would migrate en masse to Alternative 007. That seems to be the forum that's least hostile to anti-Craig points of view.

[Count_Lippe]

Ok, maybe I'll register there too.

"En masse" you say, not many active people left here though it seems, just a handful.

What do you think of the Bond And Beyond forum? There are not just Craig fanboys there I think?

Anyway, Craig is history now, there won't be any more Bond films with him.

[Count_Lippe]

I checked it out a bit, the Alternative 007 forum I mean, some of the people here are there already, even FormerBondFan, at least he had posted there before.

But it's a ghost town there now more or less it seems.

[Kristatos]

I think we're all kind of in limbo at the moment. Craig is gone, but not really. He's still officially Bond until the next guy is announced, which is why we think poor, lovelorn Babbzy is so reluctant to choose a replacement. What happens next largely depends on who the replacement is. If it's a choice we all hate, then there might be a justification for keeping this forum going. If it's someone we approve of, or at least can live with, then we might drift off to one of the other forums, I dunno. It looks like it's not something we'll need to think about for a while.

Will there be more Bond films, I thought Bond died in the last one?

[Kristatos]

Craig's version of Bond died in the last one, but the end credits contained the usual "JAMES BOND WILL RETURN". They will just reboot with a new actor. Eventually.

[Count_Lippe]

Stupid idea then.

There have been sort of reboots before, first in GoldenEye and then in CR with DC (we didn't like DC but that was another question).

The feeling was that Bond was always the same man even though there was a new actor and a new style, there were sometimes references to things in the past, and so on.

But now, to have Bond rise from the dead? Or was DC Bond in an alternate universe and he died? We'll have references to past missions, "well I died but then I got a new life, my wife Tracy wasn't so lucky though"?

[bjmdds]

IF and WHEN Broccoli decides on a new actor, this forum's name will STILL be relevant as Cr-egg REALLY will not be Bond at that point!

[Kristatos]

The DC Bonds were an alternate timeline, like Never Say Never Again. The series traces this alternate Bond's career from his first kill to his death. It contradicts events in the previous series, like his first meeting with Felix, and Blofeld being his foster brother. I don't know what they will do for the next one. Either start again from scratch, or (hopefully) make it the next entry in the series that ran from Dr No to Die Another Day, but with the timeline shifted to allow for a Bond in his thirties, rather than a veteran of the Cold War.

[Count_Lippe]

NSNA wasn't a real Bond film though, so it's not comparable, it wasn't made by EON and they couldn't use the Bond theme, and so on.

But I'm sure the regular audience saw DC as just a continuation of the series, not a separate timeline. For them it will be like Bond rises from the grave if they're going to make more films.

[Kristatos]

I think that in this age of endless reboots and cinematic multiverses, audiences will be able to grasp that the next Bond film will not follow on directly from NTTD, just as they understood that Joaquin Phoenix's Joker was not Jared Leto's Joker or Heath Ledger's Joker.
