So much for getting any work done today.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the James Bond movie franchise, not to mention the release of Skyfall tomorrow, the folks at Eon Productions have stitched together all 22 movies featuring Agent 007 into one single omnibus James Bond movie. (Sorry Never Say Never Again fans, wherever you are — it didn’t make the cut.) More intriguing still, this super-Bond film was constructed in chronological order, with the opening sequence from 1962′s Dr. No, followed by roughly the fifth through tenth minutes of 1963′s From Russia With Love, the tenth through fifteenth minutes of 1964′s Goldfinger, and so on up through the final five minutes from 2008′s Quantum of Solace.
It makes for a remarkably cohesive storytelling experience; Carey Lowell wondering where she’s going to get a small prop plane in 1989′s License to Kill, for example, segues perfectly into Pierce Brosnan flying a small prop plane in 1995′s GoldenEye. Whether that’s an indictment of the Bond formula, or a testimony to its resilience, I leave to you to decide.
