Today is the day of the release of the new James Bond film ‘Skyfall’. I’ve been looking forward to it for sooooo long now and today I’m just fit to burst!
I’m taking the afternoon off to go to the cinema (which is just behind us at Michael Faraday House). I did want to see it at the IMax in Waterloo, London but they’re sold out for today, and the next, and the next...
However, it has got me thinking about the power of Facebook.. “That’s off on a tangent!” I hear you say. Let me explain…
I have 007 - James Bond as one of my ‘likes’ and for some time now (probably over 18 months or so) their PR machine has been posting regular updates on their page. Throughout the time of its filming we saw snippets of information, a few behind the scenes images (nothing too detailed to give the storyline away though) and updates as to where they were filming. I think this has added great value as, I have to admit, I’ve been drawn into it and I’ve never looked forward to the release of a film with so much excitement!! I’m sure there’s something to be learnt from that…
Many of you should have also received this month’s E&T magazine – The Espionage Special and seen the best Bond ever on the front cover.
Some really interesting articles in there (and on the E&T magazine website) related to fact v’s fiction when it comes to the technology used by Mr Bond.If anyone needs me this afternoon, you can find me in Stevenage cinema with a large bucket of popcorn…
<insert James Bond theme tune here>
