For the next few days we honor the longest standing franchise in film history. A franchise that has seen its Pussy Galores and its Doctor Goodheads. It's Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd and Jaws. It's Aston Martin's and its Alfa Romeos. Its Scaramanga and its Sir Hugo Drax. And it's certainly seen a lot of Bonds. Like our very own sister, we love our Bond movies and we've seen it through its ups and downs. And now we must celebrate all that is Bond. Let me have our reviews, your thoughts, your memories, whatever. Just let me have them. Shaken, not stirred, of course.
I will list the links as I receive them.
Just e-mail me or post them in the comments and I will link.
Thanks

Thanks guys, I have them up now.
ReplyDeleteI just posted my contribution. And James actually drove an Alfa Romeo, not an Alfa Romero. The Alfa Romero was the car that ran on human brains, and moaned with the sound of death when you turned the key.

See, this is what happens when you have your 10 year old ghost write on your blog.
ReplyDeleteHere's my first Bond related post. I plan to have two more coming by Friday.

Bair? I meant bait, of course.
ReplyDeleteFilmchris and Megan,
ReplyDeleteYou're up. Thanks
Jeremy,
I can't seem to link up to your site.
It might be my connection. I'll give it a shot again this afternoon.
Working here ... and thanks anyway.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the road and having spotty internet access. But I've linked up now. Sorry about the wait.
ReplyDeleteI revised a list discussing all of the Bond themes to include Quantum of Solace and posted it as a Friday Favorite
ReplyDeleteI'm not totally caught up yet and I've been wimping out on leaving comments, but I am having so much fun reading all these! Cheers, Piper! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteHere's my defense of On Her Majesty's Secret Service: http://tomthedog.blogspot.com/2008/11/far-up-far-out-far-more-james-bond-007.html
ReplyDeleteI have a post about the music of the Bond films here! Thanks for the Blog-a-Thon; as I noted in my earlier Bond post, every time I learn of a Blog-a-Thon on a topic I can post about, the thing's over already.
ReplyDeleteHere's what I think is my last Bond post. Practically a dissertation on Craig's Casino Royale.

My second and last post is an appreciation of old Bond and a bit of an attack on Quantum of Solace:

I just got the last batch up. My apologies for getting to them late, I've been flying all afternoon and just got back.
ReplyDeleteA bit of comic relief from all the serious attacks made on Quantum of Solace.
