You apparently have never heard anything produced by Jack White before. That's what it sounds like on purpose. How have you managed to make it this far through life without hearing a single White Stripes song on the radio?

i wish i could unhear the white stripes songs i've heard

Jesus Christ. go back to your emo and leave everyone else alone.

i don't listen to emo. i'd consider white stripes emo.
i like how no one is allowed to have an opinion different than anyone else on this forum.

read my piss match with GA earlier in this thread about the difference between declarative statements and opinions.

see, you start off by making bold blanket statements completely anodyne to consensus criticism, then when you get hammered, you claim it was "opinion."

I bet we wouldn't have jumped on you as quickly if you didn't try to pass this off as canon, which is how your posts are written.

you read way too much into stuff for an internet forum...wow

wtf kind of dumb ass comment is that? seriously, are you guys delusional?
i liked the previous bond movies, even the brosnan ones (although brosnan wasn't as good as the older guys), better than CR. I just enjoyed them more. I don't know why, i just did.

you guys need to get off your fucking elitist high horses. jesus christ...

It's because you just don't like movies.

i like movies, i just happen to like good movies.

based on previous experience....Negative.

Seriously?

Well, they are supposedly talented musicians... Did they compose that while they were high or something. This is not worthy of appearing in a 007 movie.

Even Madonna's sh*t is better.

Please, somebody, give me Garbage and Tina Turner (Gold'n'eye!!!)

just more of the ruining of james bond. after Casino Royale, I don't expect much from a James Bond movie any more.

CR seemed much closer to Bond than any of the Dalton and weak-ass Brosnan movies. Mainly b/c he was more like the Bond in the books: A cold, soulless badass.

I was thinking it might be terrible, but I came away impressed.

it wasn't even how he looked or acted. the movie was just bad. there no story. it was just a complete jumble of nothing that lasted way too long.

I'll give you length, but it was appropriate.

It's called character development. Ever heard of that?
Probably not, b/c you don't know why the Brosnan and Moore flicks were so fucking terrible in comparison.

my point is that the Brosnan/Moore flicks were lacking in character development/ film plotting. Not to mention the slap-stick ridiculousness and pedophilia of Roger Moore's Bond.

So yeah, if you don't get that out of watching those, then I think you don't have a keen eye for criticism.

whatever happened to watching a movie for entertainment? when did watching a movie, particularly a james bond movie, become about analyzing it and it's characters to death? this isn't some stupid film class or philosophy class. I watch movies for entertainment and CR didn't entertain me while the previous bond films did. i don't see where the hell this has anything to do with me or my character.

No, it's called logical debate.

The internet wouldn't be as shitty as it was if there was an age-limit, literacy test before people were allowed on.

However, that would be contrary to the intent of the internet, so it's acceptable. Such things happen when the majority are suddenly given what they consider to be a platform, as opposed to the traditional vetting of one's peers that you have with the publishing industry and critical community.

Also, caffeine is involved, and I do not metabolize it so well. So, carry on.

That song is terrible. Good Lord.

Alicia Keys sucks, she's had one or two actually marketable tracks imho.

Jack white alone is no good either.

Live & Let Die?

Nobody Does it Better?

Goldfinger?

classic themes; but more importantly, they are considered classic songs.

And they're awful.

what, you only like Death Metal or something? They're classics.

...or are you just being difficult?

They are terrible.


The Die Another Day was decent, Tomorrow Never Dies was good, Diamonds are Forever was good, and Chris Cornell's theme was great.

entertainment is fine. but again, you shouldn't be forced to accept vomit on celluloid as entertainment. Films don't need to be serious and deep to be good. But there are simple rules regarding plotting, character progression and editing, and a big one: DON'T INSULT YOUR AUDIENCE.

I find a lot of those Bond films entertaining. But when you compare them to others, they aren't nearly as good. The screenplays only made it through b/c of the bond name, and didn't receive the attention they needed.

Again, you keep declaring you know what "Good" means, without giving any explanation.

Not all film has to be good. Though it is my firm belief that too much stupid film makes people stupid; and overwhelmingly, stupid people love stupid film. More and more evidence for this appears each year.

You keep talking about how you want to take a class that you might enjoy? Take a film class. You'll probably learn to see things you never knew were there before.

Don't hate everything. But be able to accept the good and the bad, and use something more than "I didn't like it" as justification for supposed crap.
There's nothing elitist about a well-trained eye. The charge of elitism is the cry of the ignorant.

Don't be that guy
:beer:

hey, one of my favorite movies is "Dumb and Dumber," Why do I tolerate it? It doesn't pretend to be anything more than it promises.

I forgot Diamonds, as it is one of the 3 Shirley Bassie songs, and therefore awesome.

so, again..why are they terrible? or are you defending that as "opinion?" The overwhelming court of canon disagrees with your declaration; so it sounds kind of silly to say that.
:evil:

:evil:

I think they were terrible because somehow I felt like I should be on LSD every time I watched the opening credits, it's not so much that the music itself was bad, but its interaction with the opening was just.. terrible.

I'm sure I'd be able to digest the music if I had first listened to it independently of the movies.

Whoa! That's how I felt about Tomorrow Never Dies/Die Another Die. maybe more the graphics than the songs.

Plus, I thought Madonna was too poppy.

I went in with some hopes, because individually, there is something to each of the two, but in that song, it's just a mash of noise and randomness that sounds like... argh, my ears cannot comprehend.

Live and Let Die? Pure awesomeness.

 

[SludgeFactory]

Disjointed, incoherent, jumbled, rambling mess. No distinct or memorable melody. With some irrelevant brass thrown in to make it "Bond-ish". IMO

I quite liked Casino Royale and it looked beautiful on Blu-ray. I thought Craig did a great job as Bond, more subdued and not over the top like some of the guys that have played him.

That is dreadful.

What a letdown considering how awesome Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" was...

jesus christ that was bad.

amy winehouse in her drunk coke headed state could have done better. i think they should have let her stay and finish the theme song instead of replacing her.
