James Bond turns 40.

I'm a big 007 fan. It all started when my Dad took me to see The Spy Who Loved me in 1977. That summer my favorite toy was a Lotus Esprit. I wish I still had it.

A couple years later I skipped high-school to go see Moonraker. That year I also read every single Ian Flemming Bond book. I was really devouring books at the time. I even recall going through Leslie Charteris' The Saint collection, since Roger Moore had been staring in the TV series.

A couple years later I was proudly sporting a For Your Eyes Only wristwatch.

I've seen every single Bond movie within a week of their release since then. Of course, I also own the DVD collection.

My favorite Bond movie is On Her Majesty's Secret Service, starring George Lazenby. I've always had a crush on Diana Rigg, which is probably why I also liked The Avengers.

My favorite Bond actor is Timothy Dalton. I really think he was the closest to Flemming's vision. Very few people realize, that in the books, Bond is extremely rough and spend most of his time in rehab between missions. He even has a nasty scar on his face. Not really suave and debonair.

11.22 is marked in my calendar.
