“Skyfall” by Adele
I finally got around to
seeing the latest Bond flick over Thanksgiving weekend. I adored pretty much
everything about it (especially you, Judi Dench, you classy old Dame. See what
I did there? Oh, us), but my favorite
part was most definitely the visually stunning title sequence. Daniel Kleinman
outdid himself this time and guaranteed that no one else will ever design a
James Bond title sequence ever again.
(Right, MGM? Right?? I’m game to pretend that Quantum of Solace never happened if you
are.)
The sequence wouldn’t be
complete without this haunting Adele song, which suits perhaps the most ominous
Bond title sequence beautifully.
P.S. This is a day late due
to Thanksgiving festivities at home in Ohio with the family. More nifty bars
and stores have opened in my hometown in the past year and they have further
convinced me that there is a direct correlation between how cool Wooster is and
how many years I spend away from it. I don’t really know how to feel about
that. Did I stunt your coolness, Wooster? How cool would Brooklyn be without
me? Is my mere presence depriving Brooklyn of bike lanes on every street and
coffee shops in the lobbies of every apartment building?
Watch out for me come
December, Wooster. I’m spending a whole two weeks in you and I’m gonna uncool
you so hard.
Too late, Jilly. Wooster is already hopelessly cool -

You just wait and see if that wine bar survives two weeks of my presence, Mama. YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE.
DeleteI haven't heard this one from Adele yet. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't watched this yet, but I've been hearing great things about it. Adele, is of course, a-mah-zing.
