It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these, and I’m not sure I should bring them back – but, hey, it might be nice to have an index of all the James Bond January shenanigans I got up to this January. Let’s start with the reviews of the 22 films – all of them:
- Sean Connery
- George Lazenby
- Sean Connery, again
- Roger Moore
- Timothy Dalton
- Pierce Brosnan
- Daniel Craig
I also did some James Bond related posts in the month. I wondered about the “James Bond is just a codename” theory, pondered what Bond 23 might have in store for the franchise and wondered if Bond gets away with so much because we dismiss a lot of its British nationalism as “quaint”.
Apart from all that, I wondered if the film 300 was actually racist, and dared to suggest it wasn’t. I took a look at Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming X-Men: First Class and superhero nostalgia. I also pondered what Christopher Nolan’s Bane might look like. It was a fun month, and I hope that next month will be just as exciting.
Thanks again to Paragraph Films for throwing the whole “James Bond January” thing together. It was a joy to take part.

Outstanding work here by you – can’t believe there were other people willing to take on all 22 films. Don’t know about the M0vie blog but my site stats were (and still are) totally boosted from James Bond searches!
Yep, I am quite happy. Quite happy indeed.
Thanks again for putting all this together.
