So it’s James Bond’s birthday today and, while I’m actually pretty busy, I thought I’d crank out something about 007 over lunch. So what can I say about the greatest spy who’s ever lived? It’s obvious who the best one is (Connery), and who the worst one is (Moore). It’s obvious who’s been in the worst Bond movies (Dalton). It’s even obvious which Bond movies have the worst villains (the faceless suits in ‘Quantum of Solace’). I thought about sitting through all 22 Bond films in the lead-up to his birthday but Jesus, I don’t know if I can watch ‘Die Another Day’ ever, EVER again – even though I’ve only ever seen it in snippets anyway.
Anyway, what I give you instead is something far simpler: My favorite Bond theme song.
