The other day I posted a fun Bond Blooper clip, and Travis Yoder commented:
They forgot the most obvious one of all: In “Diamonds are Forever”, Bond ends the big Las Vegas strip car chase by turning down an alley and driving the left side of his car up a loading ramp so as to balance [...]

Here I am back from vacation to find that Ultimate James Bond Fan Blog had its heaviest traffic day ever, and I wasn’t here to enjoy it!
I’ll be back blogging in force this week with more discussion topics to excite and amuse you (I hope)!

I found this great video of Bond Bloopers. Only one of them (Thunderball) made it into my book. These are fun to watch.

BondMovies.com has a great find. Click through to see Casino Royale in 1954 issues of TV Guide magazine; both first run and in summer re-runs.
Not sure the locality of channel 6 for CBS; here in the New York area it’s channel 2.

Premixed Cosmopolitans. Sounds like a sin, right? Well Chi-Chi’s makes ‘em by the jug, and it turns out they’re quite tasty. A decent portion of vodka, not too sweet, very acceptable.

Everyone’s talking about the Daily Express interview wherein Craig hints at a funnier Bond 22.
Craig, 39, says of his forthcoming second outing as 007: “They [the producers] just want more gags. The next one’s going to be a lot funnier. Octopussy and Pussy Galore style gags. They’re all great names – but that’s the thing, [...]

I have been elected as a “blog that makes you think” by Breakdown in the Fast Lane. Which tickles me all pink. The idea is you select Five Blogs That Make You Think and then each of those blogs selects five blogs, and pretty soon the whole world is thinking and holding hands and drinking [...]

Here’s a fairly well-known and funny blogger’s review of OHMSS. It’s amusing; he’s not a hardcore Bond fan (he’s seeing OHMSS for the first time), but he does have a certain insight. (You have to scroll down to find the review.)
After he’s dropped the damp dame on the sand he introduces himself. Bond. James Bond. [...]
