#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.

 

Credits Remixed

From Russia With Love Opening Remixed w/ the Red Hot Chili Peppers

From Russia With Love opening remixed with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. At first I was convinced that an old No Doubt track would fit the tempo of female body part gyrations. After almost fitting...

Goldfinger Opening Remixed w/ Bret MacKenzie

  Greg McCambley suggested this pairing. Without even testing it, I knew this track from Muppets: Most Wanted would be a perfect fit for the Goldfinger opening. I'm a little jealous I didn't...

The Living Daylights Title Credits Remixed w/ Corey Hart

This one seemed obvious, I suppose. Nonetheless I plucked the low hanging fruit. The Living Daylights Title Credits Remixed w/ Corey Hart   The Living Daylights Opening Remixed with Corey Hart...

The Man With the Golden Gun Opening Remixed with Kanye West

There's something about  The Man with the Golden Gun that just inspires trips into the hip hop catalog. Maybe it's all the bling and sexual euphemisms in the lyrics and credit sequence....

SPECTRE Opening Titles Remixed with Portishead

I hadn't heard this song in a long time. "Sour Times" hails from album Dummy, released in 1994. I was obsessed with this record. That might be putting it mildly, however. I kept this album in my car...

Pre-Title Sequences: Licence to List

We've been delinquent on our list-making. Our apologies. I blame Spectre for anything that's gone haywire at #Bond_age_. I'm sure Waltzfeld had something to do with the fact that we started making this list more than a year ago and it's just now seeing the light of...

Custom DVD Covers

The Spy Who Loved Me #Bond_age_ Collection DVD Cover

I wanted to make The Spy Who Loved Me #Bond_age_ Collection Custom DVD cover to be a little more stylized than the others. To add to this effect I created the tuxedo sleeve and pinstripe shirt using some simple shapes and angles and pieced together a couple found images of the hand and the fish. I layered a couple of different water images and added some textural layers exactly as I’d done to create the sketch-like version of Atlantis… topping it all off with a nice film grain for that always popular 70’s film stock glow.

#Bond_age_ Essays and Features

Remaking Diamonds Are Forever

In 1971, however, Diamonds Are Forever, provided a lot of support for Lazenby’s decision to jump ship. When Lazenby broke his contract before the release of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Saltzman and Broccoli were again tasked with casting James Bond.
