Thanks Zen... good to see another premire of another movie.

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

TWINE seems to be the main course this year, with a few generous heapings of YOLT TB and DAF on the side, Add Tim's duo to garnish and top it off with a sprinkling of salt and Roger - NSNA as an alternative for the picky eaters and TMWTGG for dessert.

[Janus Assassin]

Right.... AVTAK is making it's premire this year.

By far one of the worst ways to watch Bond movies -- but not unlike fruitcake and annoying relatives, a part of the holidays it's hard to ignore.

[Qwerty]

Always fun to watch a little bit here and there.

Right.... AVTAK is making it's premire this year.

I thought AVTAK was on last year's Bond marathon?

Anyway... I dislike this schedule. Personally, I'd love to see Spike tackle all 20 films, in order, from Dr. No to Die Another Day. This shuffling only gets us the common Connery favorites (Thunderball, NSNA, DAF, etc), a few Moore films, Dalton's two, and TWINE.

This seems odd, I thought Viacom had rerun rights for TND? Why not air that on Spike?

So, here's what I think: "I'll stick to my Bond DVDs, thank you very much."

[Janus Assassin]

AVTAK wasn't on last years Bond marathon... but like you said... they should play all of the movies. Not TMWTGG once and GF 15 times.

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

Goldfinger is only on once, oddly enough.

[Janus Assassin]

Goldfinger is only on once, oddly enough.

yes but TWINE is on like 5 times

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

Yeah, I don't know what's up with that...

We're going to have overkill on TWINE, which ought to make some of the anti-TWINEers happy:)

Here's the sypnosis of Live and Let Die on their website:

Bond is led to believe that he is targeted by the world's most expensive assassin and must hunt him down to stop him.

Uhh...is that right? I guess TMWTGG deals with the heroin dealer

The TV Topics recently ranked them, based on the ones SPIKE was showing. I believe 4 Connery films were in the top 7.

[The Dove]

When the hell is Spike TV gonna come to its senses and include Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies in its run of the 007 movies? As I recall even during the Thanksgiving Bond Marathon they didn't even show these two films.

I don't believe they own them Dove, (can't be positive with the constant moving around these films have had lately.)

CBS owns the TV rights to Tomorrow Never Dies, and the same for USA Network and GoldenEye.

[The Dove]

Ahh yes of course. I had forgotten that Goldeneye's rights were owned by USA Network. I didn't know that Tomorrow Never Dies was owned by CBS. Too bad there isn't one network devoted to Bond 24-7 like the NFL network!

I'd get sick of it after awile.

Truthfully, I'm glad there isn't. I enjoy the smaller marathons here and there.

The Roger Moron movie with the honkies, rednecks, and the afros was on this morning. Watched a few minutes before I did a merciful changing of the channel.

[Fox Bond]

if there was a bond channel it wouldint last

[Aussie21]

I spent my whole week off watching Bond movies on Spike. Though I must say TWINE screened too many times, I really had no complaints with the marathon. It was everything I had expected from Spike.

[Qwerty]

Welcome to the CBn forums Aussie21. Glad you enjoyed their marathon.

[Aussie21]

Thanks for the welcome wagon Qwerty.
