Where was James Bond in 2007?

It has been 364 days, and it only occurred to me just now ...

Has anyone noticed a lack of anything James Bond-related this year? A James Bond festival of sorts? Agent Of The Year front covers on glossy magazines? Personally I've not heard of as much as a James Bond Lookalike contest, or even a Give Us Your Best James Bond Quote In A James Bond Voice contest on radio.

There has, for crying out loud, not even been a James Bond MOVIE out this year!

What's wrong with this picture? It's the year two-thousand-and-seven, isn't it? Two-double-oh-seven. Did the British movie industry completely miss, or ignore, the symbolic value of this number, and the call for a special event of some sort in its honour?

If they did anything at all, they've been quite discrete about it. I, for one, certainly haven't caught whiff of anything at all. Though I have to admit that it took me 364 days and a few hours to come up with the connection myself.

And now, with only a few hours left to go, I guess it's a little late to do anything big about it at this point.

I'll just say Happy '007, James!, and lift an imaginary Martini glass in salute.
