Unfortunately there won't be a July 4th marathon according to the July highlights and the full day of bond movies was part of a week marathon of Spike TV's signiture programming. A hudge dissapointment especially since they are only playing the brosnan movies on the day deticated to James Bond. Why could'nt they have played some of the classics like GF or TB on that day and they have played the brosnan movies to death on this channel.
Instead of the July 4th marathon there will be another (sigh) Breakfest with Bond maration. When will the schedule makers learn that it isn't good to have the same type of marathon when the viewers are just tired of it. I mean it was a good marathon when it was first done but they have done it so many times that it gets repetitious.
Heres the July Highlights:
