Jack White and the people who hired him to write the new Bond movie intro need shooting into the sun
God damn what a clusterfuck! It's embarrassing. I watched at home and STILL wanted to yell YOU SUCK! when their names were listed in the opening credits. Their names being Jack White and Alicia Keys.

It's terrible. It's like Michael Jackson left a roomful of kids in a recording studio and said "Don't ask to get out until you've used every instrument in here".


Fuck you, Jack White. You sickly looking skinny ass beatch.

1. I was never impressed with him ...
some people, like the smell of fried fish, last longer than they need to.

3. How was the rest of the film?
Anyway, here it is for those who haven't downloaded the film yet, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxSYatTzEbE . I understand what you are saying. I like Jack White from his work on Cold Mountain, though his sickly, goth look was out of place in the scenes he played.

On a different note, I dreamt I was Alicia Keys but with a dick too. More like her Georgia Sykes character from Smokin’ Aces. I was an all-purpose sex worker. Interesting dream.

4. It's been influenced by the Borne trilogy
that much is obvious.


spoilers

Bond is brutal in this, there's a point where M gets really pissed off because Bond is killing everyone in his path and leaving noone left to interrogate. It's definitely been influenced by the Borne trilogy. There's never more than 5 minutes between action sequences, and with a better copy to watch I'm sure they're quite good. The sound kept dropping in my bootleg copy, so I stopped watching as I was wondering what the hell was going on after a while.

7. All the slick production in the world can't make up for a song without a melody.

8. Bring back John Barry ASAP!
Now there was a man who could write a melody that stuck with you, whether it was performed by Nancy Sinatra, Duran Duran, or Tom Jones.

There have been so many great Bond themes, but the last really memorable one was "Tomorrow Never Dies."

10. Alicia Keys is a sack of shit.
I wonder if she's the one who ruined what could have been a good song, or if it's all Jack White's fault - there's good stuff in here, but why he felt the need to do rap instead of music will forever be beyond me.
