	The James Bond Series
		As Fleming later wrote, "It struck me that this name, brief, unromantic and yet very masculine, was just what I needed." Jim Bond didn't know about his fictional namesake until the early 1960s when he read an interview in which Fleming explained the origin of his character's name.
		His eyes fell upon a favourite book on his coffee table entitled "Birds of the West Indies" by an American ornithologist named-you guessed it-James Bond.
		In 1961, Bond's wife, Mary, wrote to Fleming and half jokingly threatened to sue him for defamation of character.

	Villain -
		The villain is also distinguished from an anti-hero — a character who violates the law or the prevailing social standards, but who nevertheless has the audience's sympathy, and is therefore the real hero of the story.
		Many believe that Satan, for Christians perhaps the ultimate villain, is the most interesting character in John Milton's Paradise Lost, for all that he is the embodiment of evil.
		It is the unmitigated evil nature which distinguishes the villain from a mere antagonist, like Javert in Les Miserables — a character who opposes the hero, but by such means or reasons as not to become entirely odious, and who may be even repent, be redeemed, or become a "good guy" in the end.

		But having established that gulf between Fleming and Bond, the various scenes of Fleming's life are depicted in such a Bondly fashion — think bath scenes with sultry women and dry one-liners delivered amid plumes of smoke — that the viewer could be forgiven for thinking the two men are one and the same.

	Bond 20 news
		By the time Moore was done with James Bond, the once-thrilling character seemed less a dashing stud than an exhausted eunuch, still drawing in large, gullible crowds but as irrelevant as the rhetorical sabre-rattling of the global superpowers, who everybody knew were not really going to engage in an all-or-nothing fight.
		Bond may have been around for the past 40 years and about to launch his 21st film, Die Another Day, but the inspiration behind his character can be found a good 100 years previously.
		The man in question is, of course, James Bond, who made his fictional debut almost 50 years ago, his first big-screen appearance in the 1960s and who, through miracles of both public appetite and celluloid, has remained not only perpetually suave and virile, but among the world's most bulletproof brands.

		The Moore films are repeatedly criticised for making the James Bond character well-known throughout the world rather than a secret agent, ignoring the precedent for this in two Connery Bonds--Bond made the papers in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE and was world-famous in DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER.
		This book is also the story of two eastern European immigrants, Saltzman and Broccoli, who acquired the rights to Ian Fleming's character of James Bond and built an empire out of the sexist spy.
		James Bond's answer to a request for his name, "Bond, James Bond", topped a poll of the greatest film quotes of all time, and if you mention a Martini to anyone old enough to drink one, they're bound to come out with the immortal line "shaken not stirred".
