Thomas Newman to do the score for Skyfall.

You know, if everyone here is confused about what you're saying, then maybe the problem doesn't lie with us. What action are you talking about?

Our opinions on DC and the reboot don't mean anything unless an action has been carried out successfully. In the old saying, "action speaks louder than words." For example, Happy Feet beat CR 3 times for the #1 position in the US. This could indicate that not many moviegoers in the US were that interested in seeing CR so we won the battle against the minions here in the American market.

What influence do you think anybody here has on the Academy?

I'm not saying anybody here has any influence on the Academy. The bottomline is that B1tch Babs will do anything to make Bond 23 better than CR, even in the technical aspects, and that's what I'm afraid of. DC's Bonds are nothing more than an EVIL computer virus infects the general public, especially the high profile movie awards, through brainwashing them thinking they're great. Bond 23 may get some love from the BAFTAs, but it doesn't deserve one from the Oscars, not even a single nomination.

Queen B1tch Babs surrounded by Oscar people? What a crazy @$$ b1tch this woman is.

Arnold was OK but he was one that people like to hate on.

And what makes you think the success of Happy Feet had anything to do with CR? Insistence that HF beating CR to the #1 slot represented some sort of "boycott" of CR is one of the things that made this site a laughing stock when it first started out. I'm not particularly keen to see it revived.

What I'm saying is that HP's beating CR 3 times for the top spot at the US may proved that CR wasn't that popular with the general moviegoers. I don't know it's the boycott or kids films being more popular with the general audience (though it's not always the case). Could be both. Like I said, action speaks louder than words. Our opinions are worthless unless there are facts that support them. Adding to what I said, QOS got slammed with bad reception, and this indicates we're right about what we said here and the public is wrong.....well in some degree.

I own TND and DAD soundtrack. Still need to get TWINE. Didn't bother with CR nor QOS.

We were right all along FBF. It's the REST of the internet minions and Hollywood fat cats that need to catch up to us. Do not worry. We shall overcome DC and Eon

Isn't it enough just to be proved right? Why do we also have to claim credit for things that had nothing to do with us? If audiences do turn against Skyfall, it'll be because of the awfulness of QOS, not because of anything we did.

[FormerBondFan]

I hope Bond 23: Nothing Special crash and burn, especially here in the US. Our views may have proven the public wrong in some degree, but that B1tch will do ANYTHING to shove Bond 23: Nothing Special down our throats. I'm not just talking box office returns but also high profile awards. Yes, get nominations (whether it's a major category or technical) from them has no effect on DC's future as Bond, but I still see it as a very bad image to the entire pop culture just like having DC's mug appear in magazine covers. It may get nominated by the BAFTAs, but it doesn't deserve to be nominated by the Oscar, NOT even a single one in the technical categories. If there is a one Bond actor who will have his Bond movie that is the first one to get an Oscar nomination since FYEO (which was nominated for Best Song), that should be Henry or some others traditional (in the likes of Pierce, Sean, Rog, or even Tim) who will fill in as the 7th Bond. DC DOES NOT AND WILL NOT FIT THE BILL. I have said this before and I will say it AGAIN: DC's BONDS AND OSCAR NOMINATIONS DO NOT MIX. Not winning an Oscar is one thing. Not get nominated is other.

Back on subject of the original post, I hope Howard Shore composes a score for The Hobbit that is good enough to get an Oscar nomination. And the same goes to Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard for Bat 3. I just hope there are great scores out there to composed that will make Bond 23: Nothing Special score completely forgotten by Golden Globes and especially the Oscars.

DC's going to face a tough competition this time, and I hope his competitors are good enough to be recognized....making Nothing Special to be ignored by the high profile American movie awards. And when I say ignored by those awards, I MEANT NOT getting nominated.

It's not that we did anything Kris, but from day one this website was infamous and ridiculed and to this day is remembered. Our very presence 6 years after this loser was chosen is quite remarkable, don't you think, especially since the world was told "DC is the best actor to have ever played Bond". The other Eon website folded. We are still here. It means something that this website is now becoming more of the 'rule', not the 'exception', in regards to the mindset of the paucity of talent Cr-egg brings to the box office. That was not the case in 2005.

I do think being here has a positive result, we can't keep them from doing whatever they desire however we are holding them accountable.

No, it most certainly wasn't. This website was needed then, because anyone voicing any dissent from the line that Craig is the greatest Bond ever and CR makes all the other Bond films suck in comparison was piled upon with all the usual cliches about how Fleming wrote Bond as a short blond thug who would slit a woman's throat as she slept, and how anyone who says different must love invisible cars and double-taking pigeons. Nowadays, it's much more acceptable to say that you don't like Craig as Bond. Even the comments threads on the official 007 Facebook page contain anti-Craig comments. I strongly urge anyone here who is on Facebook to "like" that page, by the way, so that we can post comments and "like" other anti-Craig comments. There's your positive action, FBF. The page is: http://www.facebook.com/JamesBond007.

Fine. Stay here and preach to the choir. I think it's far better to blow raspberries at the people who actually make the films, even if the FB page is probably maintained by some low-level marketing flunkies.

I spent years at the old MI6 website doing just that Kris. In fact, my 'boycott' thread there was quite popular, on a website I was diametrically opposed to in thought. After they locked it after 3048 responses, and admitting it was not a democracy there, I left and came here. Their arrogance propelled me to make this forum my internet 'home' site. I am quite glad because look at which website survived, and which crumbled

Ain't that the truth..and the Facebook-ization of MI6 was a HUGE hit

Saying that MI6 is a shadow of its former self is the understatement of the decade, if not all time. ALL TIME.[/Kanye West]

How long does he need to do th score, the Olympics are over Aug 12th, the movie comes out in November October. He was talking like he would come back for Bond 23 if this is true he just got Craigged. like a list of other actors and crew Craig didn't want around.

Sounds more like Mendes decision. He has worked with Newman on all but one of his movies - http://www.filmnav.co.uk/2012/01/09/tho ... e-skyfall/

And Mendes is Craig's choice all the way.I know this guy has a history with Mendes whatever happened to the producers controlling all aspects of Bond to maintain the quality.Guess it was buried with Cubby because now we have a director and actor unsuited to their roles in this movie, and they call the shots with impunity.Why didn't Connery get the chance?Why didn't Brosnan?

Looking at Newman's history he doesn't seem to have the chops for Bond.He might pull it off it'd be the first in his career.Fire Arnold fine but do it to hire someone who has the right sound.Newman Vs. Serra, same kind of background.
