The Axis of Evil and Jeb Bush (007?)

Excitedly I spent my eleven dollars at Westwood's Carmike Cinemas last night to view the new Bond film "Spectre."  Having not seen any of the newer films in the franchise, I had no idea for what I was in store.  Having at least ten of the older Bond films on DVD pirated in Nassau, I had a good idea of what a traditional Bond film would feel like.  What I saw was a greatly modernized version of a traditional Bond film.  It made me wonder where along the timeline this change occurred.  It would not take much to research the franchise and update my knowledge.  I know the series struggled later on trying to find a suitable replacement for Roger Moore and Sean Connery.  Those are big shoes to fill, but movie-making is not the same.  Movie making especially is not the same with Japanese-owned Sony pictures.  That was obvious from the onset.  Sony invented the Playstation, and their movies really have become video games.  It is something I believe they take pride in knowing that anime also is part of their visual aesthetic.  As an old school American I have no interest in watching video games on the big screen.  I played the seminal machines back in the 80's, and they were fun.  Similarly I have no interest in role playing, especially in violent war-like scenarios.  It is not a far stretch to see where modern killers get their ideas.  Understanding that I was about to see live footage rendered with digital from the beginning (like James' walk in the opening credits), I told myself to accept it.  Luckily as the film progressed I was spared some of the Sonyisms that have come to plague modern film.  The biggest technique is taking the gestures and expressions of real actors and turning them into stylized Playstation characters. There is something endearing about the latent movement kind of like Disney's original cartoons.  I don't want to see that in a live film.  Trying to morph real acting with Playstation acting has become a trend.  It won't be long before all films will be complete renders, and live acting like music will become extinct.  I'm surprised is has not yet happened, other than the millennials have more of a stake in film and television than they do music.  The computer all ready has killed music.  All of that aside what are my sentiments about the newest and reportedly most expensive Bond film ever made?  My first impression is who possibly could have received all of that money for services in the film?  It was stark.  Movie studios manipulate their budgets just like Wall Street hedge funds.  There are some very unfair shenanigans happening with the Bond budget, and I could not see where that money was spent.  I assume the large crowd shots in distant locations were the most expensive, but the rest of the film?  The actors intimately carried the drama, and while there were a few music cues they were phoned in from a conference call with the committee.  I enjoyed the lush sound when it happened, but it was not that often.  Another ill of modern films are exaggerated sound effects.  Infrasonic sounds in particular have become popular droning on the bottom of the musical spectrum numbing your ears to any real orchestral finesse.  As I listened yet again to the "Jungle Drum" cues, I wondered whence this concept came?  I couldn't think of a single example of ethnic music that doubled musical themes with jungle drums.  Then it occurred to me.  This is what pop music does, so this influence carelessly and mindlessly is not pulling from any relevant musical source.  Because an ignorant and lazy producer decides that pounding between a kick drum and a snare is effective doubling to a musical line?  Why not just ignore or eliminate the line completely?  Oh, that is what "pop" does.  There is no "line" per say.  There is no sentence.  Pop music has dispensed with the sentence  in lieu of guttural monosyllables.  If one were to imagine how cro-magnon man would have talked, it would be akin to modern "pop" music.  Certainly we have regressed as a populace to allow this decline in our music.  It will not be long until we no longer are able to communicate at all.  We can just stand around and look at Katy Perry's ass.  Whatever the case it does not take much effort on the part of the composer to apply these distinctions, but they will change the tone of the film.  Human sentiments will become involved as will the audience.  Then the Playstation no longer will be in control.  A composer will share a real stake in the film.  If the Playstation no longer is control, then all of that money could go to some worthy recipients.  Like America film has become a corporate monopoly, and it is about as fair as Wall Street.  All I can ask myself is, "Where was the new  Bond song!?"  A book has been written about new Broken Bond themes, and yet I don't remember any song at all in this film.  "From Russia With Love."  "Goldfinger." I can hear the belting voice of Shirley Bassey clear as a bell burning the Bond movie theme into my consciousness.  Was there a song in the opening credits?  In my recollection there were no lyrics.  There was nothing being sung to me by a sultry-voiced torch singer that set the tone for what was about to transpire.  All Bond films have had this.  It is a trademark of a Bond film.  Metaphorically this elimination of a femininely rendered musical theme also eliminated sex completely from the movie.  Wow.  That is a significant production change.  Yes Bond and the blonde woman did kiss once, but it was not sexual.  (Representatively I must sidetrack and comment that this particular depiction of James Bond 007 was much more like the original Ian Fleming character in his novels.  Bond was a broken man, and he carried this burden around on his back.)  The original Bond films did not use this approach, so kudos to the film's producers for this.  Was this the right choice?   It became apparent to me that these no longer were Bond films at all.  They were juxtapositions of different styles of movies.  Why was there no new Bond song?  (at least one I can remember?)  It is obvious.  If a new Bond song were included, it would receive a large part of the royalties.  Music no longer is important today, and thus it has no value.  If the studio can make back their ill spent millions without a new Bond song, let them.  It will be a sad and misled transgression.  Without a song still we can take your money, but the latest Bond film will evaporate culturally like dying grass.  A new Bond song on the other hand could stand the test of time and consequently could help the film endure.  This is what a Bond theme is supposed to do.  Why Sony would choose to eliminate it is beyond my comprehension.  The film abstractly is about "Big Brother," and the content and the production of the movie wreaks of this procedure.  It was eery, and did not a Bond film make.  Instead "Spectre" was a gritty war film devoid of sex, sentimentality, or warmth.  Instead appropriately it was laced with the mannerisms, ideals, and methods of terrorist war.  Why would we want to watch James Bond 007 battle ISIS?  Some things are better left in the past, or at least their names should be changed to protect the innocent.  It was not that long ago the concept of Globalism emerged.  The Clinton's ushered in "Multiculturalism," and this was successful.  America opened her arms to immigrants.  Globalism on the other hand has destroyed America.  Singlehandedly globalism slit the throat of America and abandoned her bleeding on the street.  Extreme and evil world interests have crept into our country, and we never will recover.  Each and every political occurrence we experience today is a result of globalism.  If America's leaders had been mindful and respectful of America and her citizens, we would not be in this predicament.  If we had invested and protected America domestically, we would not have these problems.  Globalization opened the door to evil manipulations of the markets, and now this evil is spending trillions of American dollars yet to be earned on fighting its own evil in a ludicrous cycle of satan.   Clever ploy el diablo.  We should be ashamed.  War is more fun, because peace, love, and sex are Christian attributes.  It is so simple.  At the Republican debate Jeb Bush was yelling, "We have to be safe."  Perfect.  Attack America and then spend every penny we can borrow paying for that security.  Nothing else matters.  Art, culture, music, sentimentality.  Singlehandedly fueling the defense contractors union, those that enjoy war, Jeb wrapped it up.  "We have to be safe."  Now we know why the film fought for 007.  James Bond was the good guy, and he should be going after Jeb Bush.  P.S.  Subsequently I have discovered that there actually was a song in the movie.  Because it had nothing to do with Bond, the franchise, or the movie I don't remember it.  Selfishly it used the movie as a platform for itself.  I guess there is yet one more Broken Bond theme in the dumper.
