"Shaken, not stirred..."

This week we will become re-acquainted with the star of twenty films, all of which were shown during Spike TV's Thanksgiving Marathon: James Bond. How has this character become a cultural icon, and why has his popularity endured? Some answers can be found by examining the seemingly foolproof James Bond Movie Formula and flipping through Miss Moneypenny's Rolodex for clues from the twenty Bond features. Meanwhile, in class we'll be watching the very first feature film starring this dashing British secret agent, Dr. No. If you miss the notes in class, be sure to check out Miss Moneypenny's Dr. No File.
PS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LARRY!
