    How did All Time High get eliminated?

    Don't all the others have to be saved first. Then whatever is left is eliminated. This won't give a very representable result.

    ...if I've understood the rules correctly from above (one saved, one eliminated). I've only played one these elimination games before- usually Son Of Barbel participates- and the rules seem to change from game to game.

    Sweepy, I've corrected some spelling and made one amendment. Without entering into the famous Barry/Norman controversy over who wrote the Bond Theme (on which I can wax ad nauseum), it's definitely John Barry & his Orchestra who played it in DN (there's never been any such thing as the Monty Norman Orchestra; any album credit to that effect is in error). Since all the others above credit the artist, I've replaced Norman's name with Barry's.

    Sweepy, could you please clarify the rules? Also, could you explain whether or not 'The Look of Love' CR67 and NSNA will also be included?

    How could you not include the instrumental opening theme to OHMSS? Quite possibly the finest action theme in the history of the franchise...

    This elimination game needs a reboot. I don't think this is gonna work if people are choosing who gets eliminated, instead of it being a gradual process in which people get the chance to vote for who they want to. Some people, okay most people, hate 'All Time High.' But some of us, okay me, :)) might want to vote for it. It's undemocratic not to be given the right to do that.

    You have to explain the voting system if your going to keep changing it. The first round was the worst way you could do a vote like this.

    This game is screwed up. BTW, who didn't save TSWLM?! That is the best theme song of the whole series IMO. -{
  • LazenbyLazenby The upper reaches of the AmazoPosts: 606MI6 Agent
    No, the best title theme of the series was OHMSS, which wasn't even included :(

    I also love ATH. {[] IMO it was the last great Bond theme song. :D

    I am now thoroughly confused by this game and its scoring system. As said above by John Drake, this game needs a reboot. May I suggest JFF to organise this? On condition that there's no last-minute inclusions of such cues as "Golden Gate Fight" or "Airship To Silicon Valley", of course :D.

    Just the main title themes from each official film (and as Lazenby says that means the "OHMSS" theme rather than WHATTITW)-

    Barbel, I'm with you. I would also like JFF to take control; however, whether he does or not, could we clarify the rules before we start voting?

    I'd like to exclude the music from CR67 (which I like) and NSNA (which I don't), for starters- the official main title themes only* otherwise we'd have to consider "If There Was A Man", "If You Asked Me To", etc, as well as WHATTITW.

    * Strictly speaking that rules out the vocal FRWL in favour of the instrumental one, but that's being a little too pedantic.
