On June 12th, 1967, You Only Live Twice premiered at the Odeon Leicester Square in London. James Bond had reached a cultural apex with Thunderball -- and in fact, Thunderball remained the biggest Bond moneymaker until Skyfall rolled up in 2012. Queen Elizabeth...

Skyfall Opening Remixed with Oingo Boingo

by 007hertzrumble | February 19, 2014 | Misc., Title Credits Remixed | 0 Comments

I really liked the thematic coincidences between Oingo Boingo’s “Dead Man’s Party” and the Skyfall title credits. So I mashed ‘em up. No offense, Adele, but I could listen to Oingo Boingo all damn...

Replace Sir Paul? Why not? Sometimes even the classics need a day off. I knew immediately which song I wanted to use... thematics and all that fire jazz led me to The Cult's "Fire Woman"...

I didn't mind the Alicia Keys/Jack White combo on the QoS intro, but I've always wanted to use a Reverend song for a Bond intro and I think I finally found my opportunity. And by "don't mind" I mean...

James Bond Movie Rankings: Licence to List

by 007hertzrumble | March 31, 2017 | Licence to List, Misc. | 2 Comments

I've always resisted widely publicizing my full James Bond Movie Rankings. I've resisted because a simple ranking system of all 24 films seemed to undermine the spirit of James Bond enjoyment. Fans of 007 find entertainment in even the diciest Bonds. Maybe I've had a...

The Tragedy of The World Is Not Enough: Shakespeare and a Sewer of Misogyny

by 007hertzrumble | March 25, 2014 | #Bond_age_ Project, The World Is Not Enough | 0 Comments

In the Bond oeuvre it must first be understood that women are often pawns in the larger formula and the narrative, disposable cogs in the machine, and therefore the Bond films automatically open themselves up to a certain amount of general criticism. A 2008 BBC News article questioned “Is James Bond loathsome?” In this article, the author, Finlo Rohrer, cites novelist/journalist Bidisha who says, “The Bond films are generally sexist. I don’t like anything that descends from a sewer of misogyny.” Rohrer then goes on to question if James Bond were truly hostile toward women how does one explain the cross-gender appeal?
