Broken Bond

Wanted to put a quick note here...I haven't forgotten about my James Bond retrospectives. I learned that the service I was using to create them (VoiceThread) only allows users the ability to create 5 presentations for free and then you have to pay for a membership. I'd like to avoid that if I can, so in the meantime I'm trying to find a new way, aside from a purely textual one, to do them. Hopefully I'll come up with a solution soon. But until then, just hang tight. As they say, James Bond Will Return!

Bond countdown: Thunderball (1965)

I'm hoping these will begin getting posted with more regularity again. Here's my take on Thunderball from 1965.

Bond countdown: Dr. No (1962)

We're about 22 weeks away from the newest James Bond film, Skyfall, so I've decided to once again look back at the past Bond films leading up to the new one. I wanted to do something different this time so that you wouldn't feel like I was simply doing a repost of my past thoughts. So I've decided to use Voicethread, which allows you to create audio commentary to images. Simply press play on the presentation below and you'll hear my thoughts on anything and everything that I found to be notable on that particular Bond film. Since this is my first outing using Voicethread in this particular manner, my commentary may sound a little rough, but I'm hoping that I'll improve as I get more comfortable sharing my thoughts in this manner. Certainly I would love to hear anyone and everyone's thoughts on both the films and my opinions on them, so sound off in the comments below. And without further ado, here's my take on the first Bond film, Dr. No
