  1. For this day of release, you’ve wrapped it up with a grand finale of links, Fogs. Well done, my friend. And thank you very kindly for including me in this (more than once, too, in this series of posts) :D.

  2. Great finale with a lot of great posts. If you haven’t read enough you can also check my blog, have my Skyfall review up, a comparison of the trailer vs the movie and a “Many Faces of…” post on Daniel Craig.

  6. Fogs, thanks for posting the links! I have a lot of reading ahead of me. I won’t be able to see Skyfall until Monday, and I can’t wait to check it out. I’ve been avoiding the reviews and spoilers so far, but i can sense it’s well-liked overall.

    • Yeah, definitely meeting with the approval of the masses. No doubt. Thank YOU for contributing, man, I really do appreciate you sharing the links and helping me make this effort a succes, you know? 😀 Appreciate it. And those were a couple of good posts, too!

      • No problem! If I had more time, I would have written up some more Bond posts about specific movies. I am going to try and do a Skyfall review next week and will be writing a poste on License to Kill for another site in a few weeks, so the Bond love continues!

  9. Afraid it is not in time for the post here but I’ll give you a link to my thoughts on Skyfall

    Dan I want to thank you and all the other bloggers who contributed to this series. I suspect I am one of the old guys in the crowd and I was happy that you let me in to the group. I don’t want to be maudlin, but it has been years since I’ve had the opportunity to talk about all of these films with others who love them or are frustrated by them in the same ways I have been. When I first found your posts on all the 007 films, I knew there was a kindred spirit out there. The anticipation of Skyfall has renewed my energies on my own blog and made me seek out many more sites than I would have found otherwise. Since I know you want to write your own review before you start checking out what everyone else has said, I won’t tip my hand on my views. I will continue to read and respond to your other film posts and series, but I am going to miss the excitement of looking forward to a new Bond film (at least for a couple of years) Enjoy the film.

    • Ohhhhhh… we’ll find an excuse to talk Bond here or there, I’m sure.

      But you know what I was thinking was… this is the 50th anniversary. It only comes once. And we definitely celebrated it in style by writing about, reading about, helping build up, promoting, and watching the movies. Not that we have any kind of scope or scale here, but we definitely did put our best Bond on for the last month. 😀

      And yes, thats a cardinal rule with me, I dont want to get ideas or anything by reading anyone else. I will definitely be by before you know it though!

      And I edited that link in, might as well right? 😉

      Big thanks to YOU man, for participating! It was great having such a contribution from you, I could definitely count on using your links each week!
