The Spy Who Loved Me is considered by many to be the weakest writing by Ian Fleming for the entire James Bond series. I'll get to that later. When a beautiful young woman named Viv gets caught up with the mob and an insurance scam, James Bond happens to drop in to save the day. Rather than writing the book from the third person leaning towards the perspective of James Bond like the rest of the Bond...

This is a very interesting documentary about the early ‘James Bond’ films that I recently came upon while surfing YouTube. It was made back in 1965 at the time of the release of the fourth ‘Bond’ movie in the series, Thunderball. It has some never-before-seen (at least by me) interviews with ‘James Bond’ creator Ian [...]

Zip Your Rip has an interesting post up that features five different Easy Listening/Lounge/Jazz takes on the Thunderball theme song (from the James Bond movie of the same name). It's kind of a nice snapshot into the music industry of the past in the way that they exploited themes pretty much the same way that they do it now. Link

(Please, James Bond fans, tell me that there is a Great Blofeld Controversy! I'd hate to think that you were the only sub-group of fandom that didn't have a hotly debated, never-settled question to bicker over during the long winter nights.) For those of you who aren't James Bond fans (or just in case there is no Great Blofeld Controversy and I need to start it) please, let me explain. Ernst Stavro...
