I like it.

So do I, but I can see why it was rejected. It's typically low-key for Radiohead that doesn't usually work for James Bond theme songs.

Well Writings on the Wall has gone up in my estimation now, at least Sam Smiths sounds like a Bond theme.

 

[Saga]

i love Radiohead and i like that song...but yeah, it just doesn't feel like Bond.

 

[Commander Richard]

I think it does sound like Bond but Emh is right, it's a little low-key.

Is it sad that--without any prior knowledge of the size of his part (I'd have assumed he was just in a crowd scene)--that I could instantly tell which Storm Trooper Craig was in Star Wars from the way he walked?

Considering his career post-Skyfall seems to have stalled a bit (he did nothing between that and SPECTRE) he's wound up with speaking roles in two of the biggest films of 2015!

JB-007 was awesome.

 

[Starkers]

The thing is I knew there was something off about that Stormtrooper, and when he walked off something rang a bell...but I did not put two and two together!

On a slightly different topic, were we were talking about the next 007 earlier in this thread? Oh well, apologies if not, but I've been watching And Then There Were None on the BBC and Christ Aidan Turner has a real Timothy Dalton'ness going on!

Choosing between Sam Smith and Radiohead ?

There's no good answer....

That Radiohead audio certainly has instruments and vocals, and a fade in and a fade out, so I guess it's definitely music, but I'm having trouble calling it a song...

I recognised the voice instantly, even through the modulation, as well as his walk...

I personally liked his official credit: Stormtrooper JB-007.

I like this song! But Sam Smith's song definitely works better. Would be interesting to see the Radiohead song cut to the Spectre intro.

As for the next Bond: I'm not sure I'm up to date, but is Idris Elba out of the race? I would have loved him as Bond!

That is awesome.

I also liked that the Riot Stormtrooper Finn fought is being identified as TR-8R
