Bondathon!


Let's have a Bondathon! I mean it!

In the early days of 2005 I started doing one of these on my own, inspired by the On Demand promotion that arrayed the whole run at my fingertips for free. I planned to complete the whole thing in January but of course I didn't. Things ending in -thon take more than one participant to move.

Let's do another one in March! Not a contest per se, but an accumulation of Bond movie reviews by us would be cool. There's only 22 of them (that's counting Never Say Never Again, but not the goofy Casino Royale). The west coasters can watch on Marc's nice couch!

Let's do it!

Come ahhhhhnn.

I'm game! I've only seen about half of them anyway. This is what Netflix is made for.

Exactly. I would've said to do it this month but I want time for Bond movies to Netflix to me. And why stick ourselves with such a short, stubby month?

JPX said...

Is the goal to watch all of them? You've already written so extensively on most, you should just re-post those as you watch. I've only seen 1 or 2 of the Connery ones.

JPX said...

Summerisle's only seen like 3 Bond films so he better participate!

Octopunk said...

Watching all of them is a good goal; it's certainly what I will shoot for.

But Horrorthon will always be the main event; I don't want to crowd this idea out with lots of pressure.

hi, my name is marc. you may have heard of me from such things as "picture of marc playing the bass with no clothes on," or my favorite, "octopunk's offer for anyone to use marc's couch without consulting marc first."

JPX said...

Hey porn boy, you in?

Octopunk said...

Ooh! I forgot to mention that Marc has been baking a lot of cookies lately, and that we can all eat them!

Also, break his windows!

I think this is a great idea as long as I don't have to watch Moonraker.

Octopunk said...

That's funny, because that was the movie that killed my 2005 Bondathon. That, plus it was nearly October.

Jordan said...

Of all the post-Lucas fallout Moonraker is the one most like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
