Thursday Tunes

Passion by The Yoshida Brothers. It's Japanese traditional music with a really zingy pepper sauce. Just try it, sissy. It only burns for the first few seconds.

I hear this music and think Bond, James Bond. This needs to be used in the next movie.

It does kinda have that Bond-ish sound. Unfortunately, if it is used in the next movie I won't hear it. Pretty much every Bond movie since the last Roger Moore flick has been shit, and Daniel Craig is the worst of the worst. Judi Dench is beyond annoying. I managed to suffer through nearly an hour of Skyfall before I finally gave up and deleted it.

I prefer my spy movies with more spy and less movie. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was excellent (as is almost anything with Gary Oldman in the lead). The Good Shepherd isn't bad, either. One of the best spy movies filmed in the last 20 years, despite the fact it wasn't billed as a spy movie, is Ronin. I generally steer away from over-the-top action scenes, but those in Ronin were fit very well to the plot, which was delightfully twisty.

The only way I see Bond movies getting better is if they completely scrap everything and begin anew. They could start by reading the Ian Fleming books and stopping with the fighting on top of trains, chopping people up with helicopter blades, and surviving three hundred feet falls while full of bullets. I can only take so much Hollywood before I roll my eyes and go find something more amusing to do.
