Anybody Else Watching The James Bond Marathon On Encore This Weekend?
Just curious. I didn't know whether to post this here or the TV forum but as its Bond movies I chose here. Yeah, I own them all, but there's still something neat about one playing after another without me making the choice. Harkens back to the TBS days of 007 marathons 
.
I'm hoping in their next incarnation the prints are cleaner; I noticed a few months ago watching OHMSS how much damage there seemed to be to the film stock.

Why would I need to sit down and watch all of the Bonds full screen and stereo when I could pop any of the 22 (yes 22) dvds in OAR into my HT. I think I'll pop in Diamonds are Forever now,

You wouldn't need to....but asQuiGonJosh made mention, having them play in the background is fun. Casual watching has it's moments.

And yes, I've had the marathon on in the background this weekend. I own all the movies though, so if I really wanted to watch them, I'd probably just pop in the DVDs for the OAR.

This marathon has also made me realize i dont like "Octopussy" anymore. I totally lost any respect for this movie when Bond started swinging from vines ala Tarzan...right after they played the Tarzan yell.

He was sneaking into a circus...its not unreasonable that a spy would pose as a clown to get in a circus.
Swinging from vines? Was Bond required to take "vine swinging 101" before he became a field agent?
