James Bond Gunbarrel Sequences 1962-2012

[Video Link] Andy Ihnatko can come up with interesting things to say about anything you put in front of him. (That's why I love Andy's podcast.)

Call it The McDonalds Syndrome. I have long held that a Big Mac Meal is one of the tastiest things on the planet, provided you haven't had it in at least a month. It's junk, but it targets our pleasure centers with a certain amount of precision and flair.

If you last had a Big Mac a week ago, it's just okay. If you ate McDonalds yesterday, you'll probably end up wondering why the hell you keep doing this to yourself.

And so it goes with the Bond movies. If you haven't seen a Bond film in a couple of years, it's one of the most entertaining nights you can spend at the movies. If Netflix recommends "Diamonds Are Forever" because it knows you watched "Thunderball" last week…it's just okay. A James Bond marathon on cable will put you off of talking moving pictures entirely.
