Bond...James Bond

We went to see the new James Bond film "Skyfall" this afternoon.  It was everything you expect a Bond film to be.  Good guys against bad guys.  Lots of shootem-up.  Amazing feats.  Returning from certain doom.  Deadpan understatement from 007 in the face of impossible circumstances.  Cool gadgets from Q.  And of course the obligatory Bond girl.  Ooh La La!  All in all a very fun movie that provided great escapism for two and a half hours.

At the end they flashed up that 2012 marked 50 years of Bond films.  Huh?  Could this be true?  Well, like everything we have a question about we fired up Google and sure enough, there have been 23 films over 50 years.
