Out of the Blue

Die Another Day is the press release announcing the title of the twentieth (more or less) James Bond adventure. If my off the top of my head estimate is correct, there were only 20 total Bond tales in Ian Fleming's books, between 12 novels and 8 short stories, though they had already given up on using Fleming's remaining titles and have been making up their own in a similar vein. They have left a pretty usable short story title in the bullpen called Quantum of Solace, though I guess this is not as true to the Fleming formula as, say, Goldeneye. Anyway, you can count on me being there as I have seen every single Bond movie in the theaters, even though the series has never regained the flair it had during the Sean Connery days. It doesn't stop me from hoping though... after all, never say never again. ;)

I'm ashamed to admit I've never read one of the Bond books; it's on my to-do list, though, once I've finished LotR (for about the seventh time...)
Hmm, I dunno, I think the point when the Bond films really started going downhill was when they got Timothy Dalton to play Bond. Since they're out of source material from the original author, though, I highly doubt the movies will ever again reach the flair of the olden days. In trying to follow the "Bond Formula", they've become trapped in their own cliche.
