Disclaimer: I refuse to use the term REBOOT. Bond never had an origin story to call his own… until 2006. How can you “reboot” something that didn’t actually exist. But that’s not why CASINO ROYALE f’ing rocks. It’s because the whole package feels and oozes JAMES BOND. Daniel Craig’s debut silenced the “James Blond” naysayers and with good reason. Martin Campbell took the movie back to it’s literary, gritty roots. Let’s give Craigers another warm #Bond_age_ welcome. It’s the CASINO ROYALE Live Tweet. Wednesday, 9pm EST. Follow #CR06 hashtag.

We’d done it once. Would we survive a second trip through the ringer? The #Bond_age_ crew gave Die Another Day all we had to give… but would it be enough to survive the live tweet to… die another day? MOVIE TITLE CALLOUT!
SHOT!
INITIATE THE DIE ANOTHER DAY LIVE TWEET DIGEST!

We’ve already reached #Bond_age_ IMPOSTOR #8? Time flies when you’re twattering. Once again we put the IMPOSTOR choice to a vote. Our first vote resulted in Our Man Flint. And again we return to the golden era for spy flicks with the quirky, crafty, kitschy MODESTY BLAISE starring Monica Vitti and Terence Stamp. It doesn’t get more mid-60’s than that does it? I have not located a source for streaming Modesty Blaise online so I will again come up with an alternate viewing method for those without the DVD (as I did with the Matt Helm in Murderer’s Row). Look for the link to pop up on Wednesday.
But, first things first. Clear you schedule for #Bond_age_ IMPOSTOR #8 – Modesty Blaise this Wednesday at 9pm EST, hosted by Krissy Myers (@Krissy_Myers). Follow the completely clutter-free #ModestyB hashtag.
BTW, do make sure to watch the trailer. It’s deliciously absurd.

Sex for Dinner and Death for Breakfast: Why Die Another Day Deserves Another Look
by Michael Cavacini (@MCavacini)
In 2002, I saw my first James Bond movie in a theater, Die Another Day, which was the 20th in the series and marked the 40th anniversary of the 007 film franchise. Despite the negative reviews, Die Another Day is still one of my favorite James Bond films. Before you change the channel, give me a chance to explain.
Die Another Day was Pierce Brosnan’s fourth foray as 007, and in this film he seemed extremely comfortable in the role. He oozed charisma, delivered humorous one-liners with aplomb and panache and stole the show during a spectacular sword fight with the film’s villain, Gustav Graves. (more…)
