#Bond_age_ has retired to an undisclosed remote island where you will never find us. We definitely did not let Bizarro Freddie Mercury blow us up.

 

Bond 25 Updates and Careless Whispers

Bond 25 Updates and Careless Whispers

I want Bond to be a cocky bastard and stop with the tired middie-aged introspection that started in Skyfall (because if Bond can’t survive his midlife crisis what hope is there for the rest of us?!?) and go on an actual goddamn MI6 mission handed to him by an M who sits at his desk and makes snide remarks about Bond’s carelessness.

Credits Remixed

Octopussy Opening Remixed with College & Electric Youth

Projected LED Roger Moores and dark moody lighting? Keith pushes the correct buttons on this Octopussy Opening Remixed with College & Electric Youth. This track from the Drive soundtrack hits...

Live and Let Die Opening Remixed with The Cult

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"...

A View to a Kill Opening Remixed with Fatboy Slim

After trying just about every Grace Jones song I could find, I wound up watching the "Weapon of Choice" video just because I was sharing clips of random Christopher Walken appearances and wondered...

GoldenEye Opening Remixed w/ Bobby Brown

That I hadn't thought to set Bobby Brown's "Humpin' Around" to a Bond opening sequence is inexplicable. Could there have been a more perfect title and thematic connection between song and character?...

You Only Live Twice Opening Remixed w/ Pizzicato Five

Love erupts and cultures clash in this hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy about two boys and two girls lost in the Orient. Sean Connery is James, a dashing mild-mannered British importer/exporter...

James Bond Movie Rankings: Licence to List

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...

Custom DVD Covers

The Living Daylights #Bond_age_ Collection DVD Cover

I tried out a few different ideas, but in the end I wasted a lot of time on some more intensive photoshopping because I knew I always wanted the cello. And then I tried different variations on a cello, some more abstract, black outlines on the white background, white outlines on a wood-grain background… *sigh* …and in the end, I came back to the most simple representation of all. The pairing of the sniper rifle with the cello. The two objects play such an important role in TLD that this cover almost seemed inevitable. I dig the simplicity but I yearn for more flash.
