"Die Another Day," Or, How the Mighty Have Fallen

We're celebrating 2002 this week. Here's Deborah Lipp...

When Die Another Day was released in November of 2002, it was greeted with tempered enthusiasm. Spending time, as I do, among movie fans, and within the narrower Bond fan community, there were certain very clear reactions: Invisible car: Dumb; Madonna song: Bad; Movie overall: Pretty damn great.

How the mighty have fallen. I should explain...

1981 Retro: Revisiting the Women of "For Your Eyes Only"

Team Experience is revisiting 1981 this week inbetween your regular programming...

by Deborah Lipp

For Your Eyes Only  (1981) is fairly well-loved among Bond fans; in looking at the 24 official movies plus Never Say Never Again, it ranks a bit above middle-of-the-pack. I slice my data on a few different metrics to get an accurate picture (but that’s a story for another day).

Collider boils the entire James Bond franchise down to 7 movies Hmmm.

No Time To Die... until Thanksgiving

In relatively unexpected Coronavirus news, the new James Bond film, No Time to Die, which was a month away from its release, is opting to move to Thanksgiving. Globetrotting is a big part of Bond's appeal and apparently one of its plotpoints involves a biological virus so... yeah.

Are you disappointed or can you wait? No Time To Die had been the earliest blockbuster aiming for the first major slice of the summer box office pie  piece of the summer box office (April 10th) but now that pressure will fall to Black Widow.
