Inadvertently, I re-read the SPECTRE trilogy over the past two years. Wouldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams that the organization would be back in a new film. Now I hope to find the time to catch up on the SPECTRE films, with the steelbook Blu-rays arriving later this month.
I have expected this from the very first moment when John Logan said in 2012:
"Bond always should fight Blofeld". And the idea of re-using the famous crime syndicate must have been on EON's mind ever since production of "Casino Royale" started. If they had retrieved the rights from McGlory earlier, then "QUANTUM" from the first two Bond films would have been "S.P.E.C.T.R.E."
My expectations for the return of "Blofeld" and "S.P.E.C.T.R.E." were even sky-rocketing when Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said in the press late 2012/early 2013 that they got the rights back from "Blofeld" and "S.P.E.C.T.R.E." from the McGlory estate :-). There really was a Bond-esque feud going on between the Broccoli's and the McGlory's for decades. Kevin really was what Blofeld was to Bond. So in the end you'll have to see a revenge of some sort. Hence the 24th Bond film "SPECTRE".
Hence why I already started this topic back in late 2011:

Like @Birdleson I caught up in a perpetual Bondathon, post Skyfall. That film really reignited the love for the series. (Not that is was lacking mind you!) In October 2013, I started a Bondathon with the intention of watching one film per month until the release of Spectre. But naturally, I'm weak - not only I have been watching one film as scheduled, but I've also gone and re-watched the latter Bond films. Hey ho!

Awesome.
Two cinemas in downtown Montreal with IMAX screens and ultraAvx screens are showing SP Thursday night. Will probably organize a get together with fellow Bond fans for the occasion.
That design is pretty amazing.
Yeah you win. :D
Actually it was about your routines ahead of the new Bond film, but hey ho.
Well, it is under two months until the release of Spectre. So, I thought it was high time to inaugurate this little thread.
I know many of us will be doing Bondathons. (Currently I only have 3 films left - Dr. No, From Russia With Love and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. And maybe the Craig trilogy in October)
And you doing a Bondathon? What what about other media - the soundtracks, Bond reference books, or the "Making of" documentaries? And many more no doubt. And what about the original form of media - the Ian Fleming novels?
For me, come September, I will be reading the Fleming novels, plus listening to the soundtracks. A couple of months of pure Bond, culminating in Spectre. (Naturally I will be quite "Bonded" out at that point, and will probably have a bit of a break from Bond!).
This has been my routine since Casino Royale. What is yours?

Regarding routine- I'll just watch the films on the lead up, and try to time it so I finish SF minutes before leaving for the cinema.
