This November will see the release of the 24th
official James Bond film, ‘Spectre’. Having recently celebrated its 50th
anniversary in 2012, highlighted by the release of the then-newest Bond film,
‘Skyfall’, the James Bond film franchise has been one of the most successful
long-running franchises of all time and has become an essential part of both
film and pop culture history. So this October, in honor of the impending
release of ‘Spectre’, Rhode Island Movie Corner will be celebrating its second
annual ‘Bond Month’, in which I’ll be discussing various elements of the James
Bond franchise; the highs and the lows. I had previously done this in November
of 2012 when ‘Skyfall’ was released. However, I’ll admit that this was sort of
something that I just came up with on the fly and I only did it after seeing
‘Skyfall’ in theaters. Because of this, I now feel that I should have done it
earlier because I did include ‘Skyfall’ in pretty much all of the Bond posts
that I did that month, despite having only seen the film once at that point.
This time I’m not making that same mistake and will instead be doing it in
October before I see ‘Spectre’. Like ‘Star Wars Month’ back in May, there will
be five main posts that will be published every Friday in October. The topics
that will be covered were determined based on the aspects of the Bond franchise
that I hadn’t already covered during the previous Bond Month. So because of
this, I won’t be listing my favorite/least favorite Bond villains, Bond girls,
or Bond opening sequences. Instead, next month’s ‘Bond Month’ posts will be as
follows:
OCTOBER 2ND:
Top 10 Best Bond Henchmen
OCTOBER 9TH:
Top 10 Best Bond Title Sequences
OCTOBER 16TH:
Top 10 Best/Top 5 Least Favorite Bond Songs
OCTOBER 23RD:
Top 10 Best/Worst Bond Moments
OCTOBER 30TH:
Ranking the Bond Actors
Until then, grab your vodka martini, shaken not stirred of
course, and prepare for a month of 007.
