Tom Mankiewicz To Take Part In 'Bond, James Bond' Symposium

License To Kill and Die Another Day... what a bizarre double bill.

[Qwerty]

Not necessarily. Even though their respective tones are somewhat different, they both feature a "renegade" Bond.

[HH007]

Well, that's an interesting point.

[DLibrasnow]

October 23 sounds like a great double bill.

Any CBNers planning on attending this conference?

[HH007]

I actually did the Oct. 16 double bill the other night.

[Doctor Shatterhand]

I was approached by a gentleman by the name of Clive Young who is writing a book called HOMEMADE HOLLYWOOD. He asked if he could show a short segment of my 1978 homemade movie MOONRAKER at the Hofstra University symposium. So I take pride in that my little film will be up there with giants like Raymond Benson, Rabert Davi, and now Tom Mankiewicz.

So much for my 15 minutes of fame.

Here is the list of events I received by email the other day:

Programme And Registration Details For 'Bond, James Bond' Symposium

CBn brings you all the details of the Hofstra University event

[zencat]

I'm seriously considering going to this. Any CBners going to be there?

[Johnboy007]

I'll be in class then, and in Atlanta.

[Qwerty]

This event sounds better and better with each new update.

If only, if only...

[TheSaint]

If you're willing to fly in for this, I could be coerced into attending some of the programs held during the day.

[0024]

I will be in attendance for sure. I am going to see OMHSS and LALD. And Possibly TMWTGG, and LTK. And I will definitely see the orchestra. That will be very cool. Is it black tie? Hopefully...

[MarcAngeDraco]

I'm seriously considering going to this. Any CBners going to be there?

Would love to, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to. Damn work interfering with my personal plans again.

I only live about a half hour away from Hofstra and a bunch my friends go there so I'm almost definitely going to be there.

I will be there as I am presenting as a panel member for Bond Collecting and the Gadgets of James Bond. I think they have quite a few surprises in store for those that attend.

Hey, David, I'll see you there!

I'm on the panel "Writing James Bond" on Thursday afternoon. Given that it's in November and I've chewed up most of my time off, I don't think I'll be there for any other day, but I'll do all day Thursday.

[TheMantis]

This should be wonderful then...will Head of Section be there as well?

[0024]

How will we be able to rendezvous as CBners? A code of some kind? Any ideas?

Also Mantis, 'a few surprises in store.' That could be quite promising.

Edited by 24, 18 October 2007 - 05:57 AM.

[TheMantis]

The few surprises should be coming in the form of some additional Bond actors...

Since dinner is "on our own" on the 7th why don't we get together for a few drinks and some food?

[zencat]

Does it have to remain a surprise? I'm on the fence with this. I need a push. One of these surprises might be that push. PM privately me if you like.

(Charlie Higson or Sebastian Faulks would get me there.)

[Dolt]

Hi-I've been lurking for a while but figured I ought to sing up and say 'hey.' My name's Clive Young, and I'm doing a presentation on James Bond fan films next week at Hofstra. In fact, I'll be on David's panel Wednesday morning.

I'm currently writing a book about fan films called "Homemade Hollywood: Fans Behind The Camera," which is coming out next July from Continuum Books. Based on that, I'll be discussing a bit of the history of fan films before getting into JB fan flicks. Much of what I have to show will be familiar to the CBN crowd, I imagine, but at least you'll see it on a big screen instead of your computer.

[zencat]

Hey, that sounds like a terrific project, Clive.

Afraid I might not make it to Hofstra, but I look forward to your book when it's published.

Welcome to CBn.

[Kara Milovy]

I'm sorry I won't be there Wednesday to see your panel, Clive. I hope you're around on Thursday so we can meet.

[Dolt]

I'm sorry I won't be there Wednesday to see your panel, Clive. I hope you're around on Thursday so we can meet.

Knock on wood, I'll be there both days. Looking forward to the big writers panel in the afternoon; I'm sure I'll learn a lot from y'all.

[TheMantis]

Is anyone else going to this and are we getting together for dinner on the 7th???

[JB007YH]

I am skipping out from school to come to most of it. It looks like its gonna be amazing. hopefully this doesnt hurt my GPA.

[Qwerty]

I hope you all report back on the event.

It sounds fantastic--would love to be there.

[JB007YH]

I went to the Symposium today and had a great time. I was dissappointed I was only able to stay till 3:00. I had classes I had to go to. All the presenters I saw had very interesting things to say, especially the presentation of Psyche of a bond collector. I also really enjoyed meeting Raymond Benson and Robert Davi who were so nice and was able autograph some of my memorabilia. I was so happy to get my Benson novels signed as well as my Franz Sanchez sideshow figures autographed. It was a great experience and regret that I wont be able to attend tomorrows conclusion to the event. I have classes and an exam during the day.
