After nine years of trying to run away from its formula, the 007 series has for better or worse returned to what made it a cultural touchstone in the first place.
"Spectre," the latest James Bond film, is a sequel to the series of films that reinvented (and sometimes reinvigorated) England's best-known spy. "Spectre," meanwhile, tries to mix gritty reboot Bond with your father's Bond.
As with the other recent entries starring Daniel Craig, "Spectre" doesn't start from scratch. It begins where "Skyfall" left off. To fight through the death of his beloved M (Judi Dench), Bond (Craig) does what Bond does best: He goes on a mission in a foreign land. In the film's thrilling opening minutes, he goes on a chase through a Dia de los Muertos parade in Mexico City. The sequence is a stunning continuous take that is crackling with energy and color. It is a Bond intro to remember.
When he comes back to London, Bond finds himself in a world that needs James Bond less and less. Suspended by M's replacement (Ralph Fiennes) for giving the agency a bad name with his reckless way of taking enemies down, Bond goes rogue. He looks to track down the Illuminati-like organization known as Spectre.
"Spectre" portrays a Bond who has seen countless tragedies but may be starting to come off on the other side. Bond is a loner, and in one of the best touches in "Spectre" we get a peek inside his apartment. As you might expect, it's empty, save for a television set and a coffee table covered with scattered case files.
This James Bond is clearly different from the James Bond of the past. But in "Spectre," he feels less like the emotionally complex figure who Craig created and more like someone Sean Connery and Roger Moore might have gotten along with. Yet, when Bond tries to get the cool car in "Spectre," it turns out that it is going to someone else. Then, when he orders his trademark drink, it turns out he is at a bar that doesn't serve alcohol.
"Spectre" channels the Cold War paranoia and absurdity of 007 past. It works at its best when it feels like a tribute as opposed to a rehash. For instance, Dave Bautista ("Guardians of the Galaxy") is a silent, hulking force as Hinx. He is reminiscent of Jaws and Oddjob.
Then there is Christoph Waltz. With his slippers and gray shirt that seems as if it should have been worn by Kim Jong Un, Waltz just seems as if he were born to play a Bond villain.
When he is on-screen, Waltz doesn't disappoint. Unfortunately, he is given way too little to do here. When a film has a great villain, he or she typically won't be introduced until later on as a way to build suspense. Evil is scarier when it lurks in the shadows for a while. But when you have a two-time Academy Award winner who could read a section of the phone book as if it is Shakespeare, it is best that you give him as much to do as possible.
Storywise, "Spectre" is a bit of a mess. It feels as if Craig and director Sam Mendes made exactly the Bond film they wanted with "Skyfall" but then had to come back for one more. While it is nice to see that Hollywood is realizing that every franchise doesn't have to try to become a darker version of itself to survive, it seems odd that this iteration of Bond ends on such a light note. Its 150-minute run time surprisingly rarely drags, but the story still could have been focused and tightened a lot.
So many Bond films have been made that they can't all be great. "Casino Royale" and "Skyfall" might have spoiled fans (we don't speak of "Quantum of Solace" around here). I have seen some bad Bond movies before. "Spectre" will not end up being as memorable as "Goldfinger" or even "GoldenEye."
I walked into "Spectre" hoping for something as sublime as its predecessor. I ended up finding an entertaining 007 entry. Sure, "Spectre" works, but I hope whoever takes the reins of the next Bond movie finds yet another way to reinvent the spy we have been reintroduced to so many times over the past five decades.

The songs played over the opening credits of James Bond movies over the last five-plus decades have been done by some of the most recognizable musicians on the planet.
In some cases, these tracks have been so popular that they extend past the movie and end up as chart-topping hits that win Grammys and Oscars.
But they can't all be hits. And like the more forgettable Bond flicks, there are title songs from the movies that you never want to listen to again.
Here we've ranked all the theme songs from the Bond canon from worst to best. (Sorry, Sam Smith.)

Bill Cosby could be deposed yet again, this time in the defamation lawsuit filed by Janice Dickinson in May.
Dickinson, a former model and "America's Next Top Model" judge, filed the suit following statements made by Cosby and his former lawyer, Marty Singer, in which they called Dickinson a liar for accusing Cosby of drugging and raping her in 1982. An LA Superior Court judge ruled Monday that Cosby can be deposed.
According to the New York Times, the deposition will focus on "whether Mr. Cosby and Mr. Singer knew or should have known that the statements made in Mr. Cosby’s defense were false." The deposition has not been scheduled, but the judge said the deposition should occur before November 25.
"We are very gratified that [the judge] agreed with us that their deposition should be ordered,” Dickinson's lawyer told the Times.
According to a statement from Cosby's lawyer, Cosby's legal team intends to appeal the decision.
"[The ruling] was legally incorrect and deprives Mr. Cosby of a right well-settled under California law to have his motion to strike heard before unnecessary, expensive and burdensome discovery,” his lawyer said.
Cosby is currently facing two other defamation cases and more than 50 women have accused him of sexual assault and misconduct, but he has yet to be charged with any crimes.

Leah Remini promised to give an insider's look at Scientology with he new memoir, "Troublemaker," and that includes what she gleaned from the organization's most prized member, Tom Cruise.
In her memoir, Remini recalls riding in a car with Cruise's adopted children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, Isabella and Connor, according to the New York Daily News. During the trip, Remini asked them if they had seen their mother recently.
“Not if I have a choice,” Bella answered quickly, according to the book. “Our mom is a f--king SP.”
"SP" stands for Suppressive Person, and it's not a good thing to be within Scientology. According to the Scientology website, SPs try to block good things from happening. They're also referred to as "antisocial personalities." The Church uses "Napoleon, Hitler, the unrepentant killer, and the drug lord" as examples of SPs.
The term has also been used to refer to individuals who doubt the organization and try to get others on their side. Typically, Scientology will order its members to cease all contact with SPs, according to the documentary "Going Clear."
A spokeswoman for the Church of Scientology told Business Insider that Remini's statements are false. A full statement from the organization can be found at Scientologynews.org/leah-
Cruise and Kidman were married from 1990 to 2001. Isabella and Connor chose to live with Cruise.
Remini left Scientology in 2013. Her memoir was released on Tuesday.

Jimmy Kimmel and cruel parents across the country did it again.
For the fourth year in a row, the late-night host asked parents to tell their kids that they had eaten all the Halloween candy, and then post the results on YouTube.
"We never run out of participants for this," Kimmel said on last night's show. "Every year, I think kids are going to know, they watch these videos, they'll be too old to fall for it. I will be able to do this for as long as people continue to have sex."
This year, a couple kids (as Kimmel feared) remembered the joke from past years and weren't fooled. But they were the minority. The majority had meltdowns.
The range of reactions was quite vast. Some kids simply couldn't believe that their parents could do such a thing, while others were surprisingly forgiving. But most were tremendously peeved.
Some had no problem expressing themselves.
Some had no words.
Some tried to bargain.
Some had some help expressing themselves.

Robin Williams' widow, Susan, has publicly spoken about her husband's suicide for the first time in an exclusive interview with ABC News, part of which aired today on "Good Morning America."
Susan Williams spoke candidly with ABC's Amy Robach about Robin's battle with anxiety, depression, and paranoia. She emotionally described her final evening with her husband and revealed that she doesn't blame her husband for his suicide.
"And I got to tell him, ‘I forgive you 50 billion percent, with all my heart. You're the bravest man I've ever known.’ You know, we were living a nightmare,” she said.
Robin was diagnosed with early stages of Parkinson's disease in May, but the couple was unaware that he was also suffering from Lewy body dementia, which is the third most common type of progressive dementia after Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
"Lewy body dementia killed Robin. It's what took his life, and that's what I've spent the last year trying to get to the bottom of," she said. Though he was fighting against the symptoms, Susan said he was losing control. "It was like the dam broke,” she said of his last month.
Robin and his doctors had been planning on checking him into a facility to undergo neurocognitive testing the week of his death.
The full interview will air tonight on “World News Tonight with David Muir” and “Nightline.” It will also air in its entirety Friday on “The View.”

Over the past seven seasons, "Shark Tank" has grown into a phenomenon.
Not only is it an Emmy-winning reality show, but it has created recognizable brands like Scrub Daddy, which Shark Lori Greiner has helped take to $75 million in total sales over the past three years.
The show is an entertainment product and a launchpad for hundreds of American startups, requiring a careful combination of high-level production and management.
Through several interviews with the Sharks, we've learned some interesting behind-the-scenes details hidden from viewers. We've collected them below.
SEE ALSO: The 'Shark Tank' investors reveal their investing secrets and most profitable deals
A televised segment lasts about 10 minutes, but it uses footage from a pitch that, on average, lasts an hour. In Season 4, Plate Topper founder Michael Tseng was in the Tank for 2 1/2 hours, the longest of any entrepreneur.
Unlike a typical pitch, the investors know nothing about the entrepreneurs or their products before they enter the room. It's a technique that allows viewers to learn about the people and their companies along with the Sharks.
The footage editors take out contains the "unsexy" material, where the Sharks and entrepreneurs get into financial minutiae that the typical viewer would either not understand or care much about.
The production process is efficient and demanding.
The past few seasons have had 29 episodes each, and shooting was split over a week and a half in early summer and another stretch in early fall. The investors see six to eight pitches per day, and days can last up to 12 hours.
Robert Herjavec said that when he and the Sharks are in their chairs, "We're cold, we're hungry, we're miserable." It's why, he explained, it's necessary that entrepreneurs grab their attention and excite them as quickly as possible.
Villy Custom founder Fleetwood Hicks wrote in a 2012 blog post that one of the most nerve-wracking aspects of his Season 3 pitch was the "stare down."
When it's time for entrepreneurs to give their pitches, they walk down a corridor and stop on an "X" on the floor of the Tank for the ideal shot. They are then required to stand silently for 30 seconds so that the camera crew can gather footage of the entrepreneurs and the Sharks smiling back at them, edited together to set the scene of a new segment on the show.
In a sign that most audiences just don't want to watch movies about Steve Jobs, box-office numbers show that the new movie about the Apple cofounder, "Steve Jobs," from acclaimed director Danny Boyle and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin is on par with the numbers for the 2013 critical dud "Jobs," starring Ashton Kutcher as the tech figure.
Though "Steve Jobs" looked to come out of the starting gate strong with a limited run that brought in $2.2 million over two weeks in 60 screens, the film took in only $7.1 million in its first weekend nationwide. "Jobs" took in $6.7 million in its first weekend of wide release. ("Steve Jobs" has yet to open overseas.)
"Steve Jobs" has a box-office gross of $14.7 million in its fourth week in theaters. "Jobs" hit $14.8 million in its third week.
This isn't good news for Universal, which released "Steve Jobs" with hopes that it would be one of its big titles to ride into award season.
"Steve Jobs" will most likely earn more than "Jobs" ($34 million worldwide) by the end of its run, especially if it gets some big award-season nominations, which always bump up the box-office tally. But this will probably make studio executives hesitant about signing on for any more Jobs-related projects.
When Business Insider spoke with Sorkin before the film opened, he noted: "If you lined up 10 writers and asked them to each write a movie about Steve Jobs, you'll get 10 different and good movies. We're well on our way to proving that, by the way."
The "good movies" line certainly is up for debate, but Paul Dergarabedian of Rentrak, a media measurement company, told the The Hollywood Reporter that we shouldn't be surprised by the disappointing performance of "Steve Jobs."
"Often sophisticated, intellectually charged movies like 'Steve Jobs' have a tough time gaining huge acceptance by a general audience — they play well in the major cities and among the intelligentsia and then have a tougher time gaining acceptance in wide release," he said.
One example is the performance of another Jobs movie also out now, Alex Gibney's documentary "Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine." Released by Magnolia Pictures, it has done a per-screen average similar to the other Jobs films while staying in limited release (the film will air on CNN next year).
When "Steve Jobs" went wide in 2,500 screens, it had a per-screen average of $2,850. "Jobs," wide at 2,400 screens, did $2,820 per screen. Gibney's Jobs film, in only 68 screens, did $2,686. To date, it has made $493,000.
With Gibney's film costing considerably less than either Jobs narrative film, it looks as if "The Man in the Machine" has the right Jobs formula so far.

Spike Lee uses the mass epidemic of gun-related deaths in Chicago as the backdrop of his latest movie, "Chi-Raq," which is a modern-day retelling of the ancient Greek play "Lysistrata."
In the play, written by Aristophanes, one woman attempts to end the Peloponnesian War by convincing the women around her to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace.
Lee takes that idea and places it in current Chicago, where, the trailer tells us, the homicides have surpassed the death toll of American forces in Iraq.
The film has an all-star cast that includes Nick Cannon, Wesley Snipes, Jennifer Hudson, Angela Bassett, Dave Chappelle, and Samuel L. Jackson, who, if the trailer indicates correctly, will be our narrator through the film.
Watch the trailer below. "Chi-Raq" opens December 4 in theaters and on Amazon. It's Amazon's first feature film production to be released in theaters.

Jon Stewart just signed a four-year deal with HBO, but the news isn’t that he’ll be returning to your screen. Many people figured Stewart couldn’t stay away too long.
Instead, Stewart will be collaborating with the company to develop “a new technology” designed to help him create short-form digital content, which will be pumped to HBO’s HBO Now streaming service throughout the day.
He'll be working with a company OTOY on that part of the deal.
You've probably never heard of OTOY, but the LA company has an advisory board full of tech superstars, including:
OTOY is known for technology that can give you “cinematic quality” 3D rendering through your browser, according to VentureBeat. Cofounder and CEO Jules Urbach built the world’s first 3D video game platform before starting OTOY in 2008. Urbach’s gaming technology was licensed by giants like Macromedia, Disney, Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, Microsoft, Hasbro and AT&T. It also won an Academy Award in 2010 for its Lightstage technology, which is used to create computer models of faces, and was used in movies like Spider Man 2.
We don't know what kind of technology Stewart and OTOY will be developing together, but Urbach and company are deep into the emerging virtual reality market. The company has been working working on next-level technology that allows you to move around in virtual reality streams, according to Engadget.
We don't know whether the tools OTOY is working on with Stewart will be quite that revolutionary, but they confirmed the partnership in this tweet:
We are thrilled to be helping Jon build out this vision. The future of media is changing fast! https://t.co/1sZGfI3tOy

For the first time since Robin Williams' death, his widow Susan Williams spoke out about her husband's dementia in an exclusive interview with ABC News, a portion of which aired Tuesday on "Good Morning America."
Williams had been diagnosed with early stages of Parkinson's disease before he died by suicide August 2014. But an autopsy revealed he also suffered from Lewy body dementia (LBD), a brain disorder that affects more than a million Americans.
According to The Alzheimer's Association, LBD is a type of progressive disease that causes a decline in thinking, reasoning and independence, linked to the buildup of microscopic deposits — so-called Lewy bodies — in the brain, which damage the cells over time. It's the third most common type of progressive dementia after Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.
LBD shares similarities with Parkinson’s and Alzheimers, and scientists think all three disorders may have a common cause.
The symptoms of LBD include changes in thinking or reasoning, day-to-day confusion, hunched posture and rigid movements, hallucinations, and other problems.
"Lewy body dementia is what killed Robin," Susan Williams told ABC News. "It's what took his life and that's what I spent the last year trying to get to the bottom of, what took my husband's life."
The week of Williams' death, his doctors were planning to check him into a facility where he would undergo neurocognitive testing.
The complete interview airs tonight on "World News Tonight with David Muir" and "Nightline," and again Friday on "The View."

“Inside Out” quickly became Pixar’s latest hit, getting universal acclaim from critics and becoming one of the highest-grossing animated movies of the year (“Minions” has just edged out the movie for top grosser worldwide).
A big reason for its success is the clever story in which we watch the personified emotions of young Riley (Joy, Fear, Sadness, Anger, Disgust) trying to cope with her move to San Francisco.
But many also left the theater with a new "core memory": Bing Bong, the lovable imaginary friend of Riley’s that’s part elephant, part cat, and part cotton candy.
Bing Bong was voiced by veteran character actor Richard Kind. This is the fifth time he’s lent his voice to a Pixar film, and this time he felt that Bing Bong was going to be special, even if no one else did.
“We were doing early screenings and Bing Bong didn’t get as many laughs as I thought the character deserved,” Kind recently told Business Insider. “I think the wit came out and not the ha-ha funny. I worried about that.”
But Pixar quickly caught on to Bing Bong's appeal. The company decided to keep the character under wraps during promotion of the film's release, as not to overexpose the potentially popular character.
Kind said he understood the decision, which led to him not doing any press around the release, but there was one thing that upset him.
“I did not go to the Cannes Film Festival,” said Kind, who was left out when the rest of the cast traveled to the South of France for the film's screening there in May. “I got to tell you it’s a heartbreaker. How often am I going to be in a movie that goes to Cannes? And I would go on someone else’s dime!”
The upside is that the reaction to the character since “Inside Out” opened is beyond what Kind could've imagined. He says that when people at a party or on the street realize he's the voice of Bing Bong, all they talk about is how emotional they got during the character's final scene, when Bing Bong helps Joy get out of the memory dump by staying behind.
Kind admits he got choked up doing the scene.
“I knew what that moment was, and all I wanted to do was be perfect,” said Kind, who recorded the character in eight sessions over two years. “I wanted to do it over and over. I think subliminally you can see the tears that I had. Because I was crying when I was doing it. I remember standing very close to the monitor and wanting to reach out to Joy when Bing Bong says, ‘Give me your hand, I got a good feeling about this.’”
“I wanted it to feel like I knew something good and wonderful is going to happen. It just made me sob. But I wanted to feel perfect when I did the line. I wanted to feel what the audience was going to feel.”
“Inside Out” comes out on Blu-ray and DVD Tuesday.

In his first public response to controversy over remarks he made about police abuse, Quentin Tarantino has told the Los Angeles Times that his words have been misrepresented to "demonize" him.
"All cops are not murderers," Tarantino told the LA Times. "I never said that. I never even implied that."
The "Django Unchained" director was widely expected to apologize for comments he made at a rally against police brutality last week in New York City. At the rally, the New York Post reported that Tarantino told the crowd that "[w]hen I see murders, I do not stand by ... I have to call a murder a murder and I have to call the murderers the murderers."
Instead, Tarantino has defended his remarks and says that "mouthpieces" of the police are misconstruing him as a cop-hater.
"What they’re doing is pretty obvious," he said. "Instead of dealing with the incidents of police brutality that those people were bringing up, instead of examining the problem of police brutality in this country, better they single me out. And their message is very clear. It’s to shut me down. It’s to discredit me. It is to intimidate me. It is to shut my mouth, and even more important than that, it is to send a message out to any other prominent person that might feel the need to join that side of the argument."
Several police groups across the country had called for boycotts of Tarantino's upcoming film "The Hateful Eight" (out December 25) because of his comments.
Tarantino will appear on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" this Friday.

Don't mess with Ariana Grande.
The 22-year-old singer was promoting her new single "Focus" on Power 106 this week when two radio DJs asked her a series of sexist questions.
"If you had to choose between your phone and makeup, which would you give up?" one DJ asked.
"Is this what you think girls have trouble choosing between?" she fired back. "Is this men assuming that that's what girls would have to choose between?"
And when Grande told the DJs her favorite new emoji was a unicorn, they proceeded to say it was a "girls" emoji.
"Many boys use the unicorn," Grande corrected. "You need a little brushing up about equality. Who says the unicorn emoji isn’t for men?"

Jon Stewart has just signed a four-year production deal with HBO.
Under the pact, Stewart gives the pay channel the first-look option on all his film and TV projects. He will begin small with short-form digital content, which will be showcased on HBO Now, HBO Go, and other platforms.
"Jon Stewart led a revolution that changed the face of TV comedy on the 'Daily Show,'" HBO programming president Michael Lombardo said in a press release. "He graced our network nearly 20 years ago, so we're thrilled to welcome back his immense talents in this next chapter of his career."
Stewart added in a statement: "I'm so excited to be working with Richard" Plepler, HBO's chairman and CEO, "Michael, and the entire HBO family. Appearing on television 22 minutes a night clearly broke me. I'm pretty sure I can produce a few minutes of content every now and again.”
The short-form content — based on Stewart's take on current events — will be produced alongside the pioneering cloud graphics company OTOY Inc. Basically, the tech will allow Stewart to produce timely content that will be refreshed on HBO Now several times a day.
HBO didn't say when the shorts would begin posting. Additional projects will be announced later.
After shocking fans in February with the announcement that he would be retiring from "The Daily Show" after 16 years, Stewart said on Catie Lazarus' live podcast, Employee of the Month, that he was looking for "flexibility" in his next pursuit.
"I've got maybe four or five more years with [my two children] before they really don't want anything to do with me," Stewart said. "I'm just not there. You can't go 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. for 16 years and think you can tell them, 'You're going to be able to not smoke pot.' But believe me, I feel like I'm going to work even more, I'll just be able to do it more near to them."
His last day on "The Daily Show" was August 6.
