    Coldfinger, Die Another Day review is now up - Samuel - I'm sure I'll sleep right through till tomorrow morning.

    Casino Royale has about 25 mins left then 2 films to go!

    Just finished Casino Royale - a glowing review on the way shortly. 2 films to go. Starting Quantum of Solace now. Should be finished just after 9pm.

    I think you've earned the title of #1 Bond fan after this! I am very impressed!

    This is unbelivable. Or as Koskov would have said:

    "Superb Mr. Bond, superb!

    Thanks guys, was determined that I wanted to try it and see it through and I'm a very determined person.

    @Jamesc26 Could you post your review of CR on DCINB.com? It would make them all implode over there ;-)

    That would just be proof that he's not a true Bond fan. Three day-long marathons are irrelevant.

    Another glitch with a Bond Bluray - sometimes these discs can be really unreliable. Got about 40 mins into Quantum with the boat chase and the screen freezes. Going back to the same scene to try again. Have had issues with about 3 or 4 of my discs - I wished they had packaged the Bond 50 set in slots that don't cause so many disc scratches.

    It's one of the many reasons why I haven't bought the BluRay set yet. I'm quite happy with my DVDs for the time being.

    The image clarity is amazing, particularly for the oldest films, but Bluray discs can cause a lot of loading problems sometimes.

    Don't think I can post my review to the other site because I'm not a member but if you know anyone who might be interested, share my youtube link with them. I'm James Clark on YouTube. Subscribe to the channel if you like. Done a few more film marathons as well as Bond, but this has been the most ambitious so far.

    I was only joking. Believe me, it's not a site you want to go anywhere near!

    Don't you have to have officials on hand to verify a record you're trying to set? Either way, well done to you. I can't even manage to stay up 24 hours straight, so doing something like this is incredibly impressive. You're close now!

    As for the disc handling, that was one of my many complaints with the box set. Didn't like how they handled them, and didn't want to have to go out of my way for a new disc when one was inevitably messed up. I had a few separate blu-rays so I just got the rest of them to complete my collection.

    I don't believe so, only for records that need to be observed and/or measured, such as clarification for the worlds tallest man.

    This is increbible, he's actually going to do it! Forget about the Bond marathon, what impresses me is going without sleep for over 60 hours! Any without coffee!

    Quantum of Solace review:



    Had some cups of tea and sugary energy drinks to help me get through. Just over an hour left to go.

    My James Bond marathon is now officially over. Started at 3pm Friday 27th December 2013 and 26 films and 1 documentary later I've finished at 12midnight on Sunday 29th December. Thanks for all the encouragment and words of support guys, don't try this at home; it's hard work but great fun! Keep your eyes peeled to my Youtube account and here for a couple more video reviews to round off the marathon. Be uploading those tomorrow. Goodnight!

    I must say I've been watching your progress on this from the beginning. A truly amazing feat James. Enjoyed all of your youtube reviews. Now enjoy a hard earned rest and complete your reviews when you are ready.
    Congratulations.

    Great work, really. Hopefully your dreams won't be about Bond now too, you deserve a break.
