Casino Royale is a complete “reboot” of the Bond franchise, featuring a grittier, more serious take on the beloved super spy, not unlike Batman Begins. The jury is still out whether Daniel Craig as Bond or this film will stand the test of time, but at the very least, it’s easily the best Bond film since GoldenEye.
Guess what… I’m still here! This is the third time Webomatica has dealt with the Digg effect. Here’s my obligatory “dugg” post, with some info-porn graphics like last time.
In this case, my post The Best And Worst Bond Films was submitted by someone else (richstyles [thanks!]), so I didn’t have much prep time. I noticed it had been submitted because of Feedburner — which shows a little graphic noting the number of diggs in the RSS feed — at around 25 diggs. This is a good number at which to start paying attention.
Ah heck. I guess we’ll all get to see if WP-Cache can do what it promises. My post on Best and Worst James Bond movies just hit the digg front page at 72 diggs.
So what was the point of my watching all twenty-something James Bond movies? So I could write several awesome “Best Of” posts laden with Bond quips, cool images, and / or sexual innuendo. So here are what I consider the best Bond films — exactly seven, in honor of “007”:
Rounding the corner, ths is second to last James Bond film I need to watch (the last being the new Casino Royale) on my quest to see all the Bond movies.
I was expecting to dislike this film after seeing License to Kill. But here, after a long string of progressively worse Roger Moore films, it’s surprisingly good — a stunning mesh of the Roger Moore and the Sean Connery films. It seems with every new Bond actor, the producers take a fresh look at the Bond franchise put forth their full efforts.
