Works. I don't see Bond much caring about Christmas.

 

 

 

Which would you rather see in a future Bond film:

A safari chase in Kenya

OR

A jungle chase in the Amazon

?

[thecasinoroyale]

A safari chase - far more danger to be had I think.

 

 

Will 'Spectre' see a good girl/man turn out to be evil?

 

YES - It's the way with current Bond films; we need an insider, a traitor, someone on the inside that audiences identify in the first 10mins.

 

OR

 

NO - Back to the time when we knew who was good, and who was bad and there's no easy way out to have an insider just pop up

 

??

[The Dove]

YES - I think it's safe to assume that someone in SPECTRE is going to turn out to be not who we thought they were..

 

The SPECTRE gunbarrel..should they re-shoot it OR continue with the Skyfall one, (but obviously put it at the start of the film) ?

[Call Billy Bob]

Re-shoot it. Make it look more like Binder's original design - not too metallic.

 

SPECTRE leaks:

 

Are we overreacting

 

OR

 

Are there legitimately serious concerns?

[seawolfnyy]

Overreacting....by a lot.

 

 

 

Rather than see a good character turn out to be evil, could we instead see an evil character turn out to be good:

Yes

OR

No

?

[AMC Hornet]

Sure, as long as it's not a cheap, sudden reversal like Jaws or May Day.

 

Thomas Newman's next soundtrack:

 

More JB & title themes cues

or

minimal cues, like last time

?

[seawolfnyy]

More JB & title theme cues. I think SPECTRE is trying to find a balance with the old films and the new and I would love for the music to follow that. Especially, if the 007 theme reappears in some form....

 

 

 

Am I the only one who isn't worried about he Sony leaks:

Yes

OR

No

?

[The Dove]

NO.. I too am absolutely NOT subscribing to the pathetic and needless hysteria associated with the Sony hacks.

Which foreign locale are you most looking forward to in SPECTRE.. Austria, Mexico City, Tangier and Erfoud in Morocco OR Rome??

[thecasinoroyale]

Something excites me about Mexico City - not sure why, but think it could look really good.

 

 

Will 'Spectre' be Craig's last Bond film?

 

YES - A powerful adversary, a strong story and a fitting, proud finale

 

OR

 

NO - This is just the start of another run of stories for Craig to get into

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

No, this is just he start of another run of stories for Craig to get into. Besides, he's already signed for Bond 25.

 

 

 

How intrigued are you about the prospect of a nighttime car chase through Rome:

Very, Rome is one of the world's most picture-esque cities and it's long overdue for a good car in a Bond film

OR

Not much, Italy is overused and it'd be better to see somewhere different

?

[The Dove]

VERY intrigued.. Sure a lot of other films have done similar type of sequences in and around Rome and Itally, but only Bond can do it 007 style!!

Which location do you imagine the "Bond, James Bond" scene happening in.. Rome, Mexico City, Morocco or Austria??

[seawolfnyy]

Rome. Why not?

 

 

 

Monica Bellucci

OR

Léa Seydoux

?

[The Dove]

Monica Bellucci.. Foxy lady indeed... (And Lea seems very lovely too..)

Ralph Fiennes' "M".. Will we hear him called by his real name, Gareth Mallory, in SPECTRE.. YES or NO?

[Professor Pi]

NO.  They will reinforce his rank in this movie.

 

Monica Bellucci as Paris in TND

 

OR

 

Monica Bellucci as Lucia in SPECTRE?

[thecasinoroyale]

Right now? If I get to see Monica Bellucci in that dress and lingerie, I'll go for 'Tomorrow Never Dies' right now!

 

 

Will Spectre wrap up with Craig's Bond, or will he part before they come to and end?

 

YES - Much like Connery's era (minus the odd 'FYEO'), Spectre will start and end with Daniel Craig's 007.

 

OR

 

NO - Craig may launch Spectre, but future Bond incarnations will carry it on

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Yes, much like Connery's era (minus the odd For Your Eyes Only, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service ) SPECTRE will begin and end with Craig.

 

 

 

After having rewatched both films, I must say that both are classics, but I still prefer Casino Royale to Skyfall, if only slightly. But I want another opinion, so....

Which is the better film:

Casino Royale

OR

Skyfall

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm. In terms of story and structure.....I go for 'Skyfall'. It seems to have the Craig-feel right, with 'Casino Royale' doing a superb job of building foundations, but with some parts that just maybe don't need to be there. But, as you say, this is slightly for me also. 

 

 

SPOILER TIME!

 

Will you stay spoiler free for 'Spectre'?

 

Spoiler

YES - Blo-who? Leaks or not, I am staying free some speculation and spoilers to keep this full of surprises and thrills!

 

OR

 

Spoiler

NO - Blofeld! I will see it eventually on screen, so I want to know EVERYTHING as it happens and leaks for my fix!

 

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

Spoiler

NO - Blofeld? Don't assume! I will see it eventually on screen, so I want to know EVERYTHING as it happens and leaks for my fix!

 

I can't resist, what can I say? I'm weak.

 

 

Dr. No songs, do you prefer:

Jump Up

Or

Underneath the Mango Tree

?

[thecasinoroyale]

I have to say, I do like 'Jump Up' a little more with the upbeat energy.

 

Best song from 'The Living Daylights':

 

"Where Has Everybody Gone?"

 

OR

 

"If There Was A Man."

 

??

[The Dove]

"If There Was A Man" - so gorgeous..

 

 Bond's new DB10 in SPECTRE..do you think MI6 issued it to him as a standard, government use only car OR, could it be compensation for having his beloved DB5 destroyed? (perhaps a dumb question, I know..)

[seawolfnyy]

Government use, I think.

 

 

"If There Was A Man"

OR

"If You Asked Me To"

?

[Professor Pi]

"If There Was a Man" Again.  But I'll segue with this one

 

"If You Asked Me To" by Patti Labelle

 

OR

 

"If You Asked Me To" by Celine Dion

 

??

[thecasinoroyale]

"If You Asked Me To" by Patti Labelle - not a fan of the Dion.

 

 

Will we get yet MORE of the James Bond theme in 'Spectre', more-so than 'Skyfall'?

 

YES - With a title so iconic for 007, the theme will be used even more in fitting, sinister ways

 

OR

 

NO - Subtlety is best, and we may hear a few notes, but otherwise it will be very much in the background

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

No - Subtlety is best and we may hear a few notes, but otherwise it will be very much in the background. I really liked how sporadically it is used nowadays. It used to be that it was played just when Bond was walking down the street. I hope we get more of the main title mixed in to the score as David Arnold did in Casino Royale.

 

 

Better rejected Shirley Bassey theme song:

"Mr. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" for Thunderball

OR

"No Good About Goodbye" for Quantum of Solace

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Hmm. I think "No Good About Goodbye" - I liked the original "KKBB" over Bassey.

 

 

Say we have a god-awful typical Brosnan-era crooner singing for the theme tune of 'Spectre'...who would you like...

 

Sam Smith

 

OR

 

Michael Buble

 

??

[The Dove]

If I had to choose between the two, I'll give my vote to Sam Smith..his voice is the less annoying of the two..

 

Do you think we'll see a Spectre Ring on any of the villains in SPECTRE? YES or NO?

[seawolfnyy]

Yes, it's not SPECTRE if we don't.

 

 

 

Will both main Bond girls survive SPECTRE (it's only happened twice, I believe):

YES

OR

NO

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Why not. Yes. I think they will, with plenty of motives and reasons for them too.

 

 

Will you be getting a James Bond related gift this Christmas?

 

YES - It's mandatory to be under my tree! DVD/Blu-ray/Books/Models...anything!

 

OR

 

NO - A quiet Bond year so nothing really needed from Santa this time

 

??

[seawolfnyy]

No, a quiet Bond year, so nothing really needed from Santa this time. Besides, I´ll be travelling around southern Spain and France, so it´s unnecessary.

 

 

 

Monica Bellucci as Elektra King

OR

Léa Seydoux as Christmas Jones

?

[thecasinoroyale]

Ooh. I'll go for Monica Bellucci as Elektra King. Love a bit of Bellucci, not yet got an opinion on Seydoux to have her in a Bond film role.

 

 

So Monica Bellucci is the oldest Bond girl to be cast at 50 years old.

 

Good call - age is no barrier really for a great actress to be a Bond girl/lover 

 

OR

 

A bit iffy- 50 is pushing it, and it's all based on looks at that point

 

??
