$\"\"$ <\/a>
I just saw this ad for an upcoming high-def James Bond<\/a> marathon over at Facebook, and two things leapt out at me. One, there are 21 films in the \u201cofficial\u201d series produced by the Broccoli family, but this marathon will apparently feature only 19 of them \u2014 which two films were left out, and why? Two, there are 6 actors who have played Bond in these films, but only 4 of them are depicted in the art duplicated here \u2014 and while it\u2019s no surprise that one-shot George Lazenby<\/a> is missing, I am struck by the fact that Timothy Dalton, who made only two films, one of which didn\u2019t do so well in North America, is included here, whereas Pierce Brosnan, whose four films outgrossed everybody else\u2019s<\/a> until Daniel Craig<\/a> came along, has been left out of the picture. Is a re-evaluation of these actors and their respective places in the franchise in the works?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
