I posted this earlier but I will not be able to take part in an XMAS bondathon (Not on actual XMAS day obviosely) because of my darned aunty X-(. But I will take part in one to celebrate Flemings 100th b-day! . So, here, if anyone wants to, why don't you post down comments and rules for the bondathon?

However, I might (just MIGHT) change my mind, as who knows, some of those films could turn out to be crap. 8-)
Your idea of a Bondathon for Fleming's birthday is a novel one , and maybe could be brought up again closer to the date.
When I had chicken pox I watched all the Bond films on DVD in a week (well, what else do you do when you have chicken pox at 32 yrs of age?) this was pre-DAD

It took a lot out of me actually, and it was a lot easier to watch the early Bond films than the later ones. Thursday was a real killer. I often wonder how i would feel if i watched them in reverse order....
Did you skip LTK, or was that an accidental omission? I agree about them getting tedious toward the end, but since the only ones I find boring are AVTAK and TND I have plenty to look forward to when watching in order (until DAD). DAD isn't so much boring as obnoxious, especially the casting and the dialog. I don't mind goofy stories if I like the cast and their interaction.

There is no real reason other than i haven't watched the films in a while and I don't start my new job til January so have time to kill.
I've just this minute finished Diamonds are Forever. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought i might. It was one of the films i was least looking forward to watching in all honesty. Aside from the rather hamfisted way Blofeld is 'killed' 8-) I enjoyed it from start to finish.
