For His Eyes Only


Book Description

The release of Skyfall in 2012 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the James Bond film franchise. It earned over one billion dollars in the worldwide box office and won two Academy Awards. Amid popular and critical acclaim, some have questioned the representation of women in the film. From an aging M to the limited role of the Bond Girl and the characterization of Miss Moneypenny as a defunct field agent, Skyfall develops the legacy of Bond at the expense of women. Since Casino Royale (2006) and its sequels Quantum of Solace (2008) and Skyfall constitute a reboot of the franchise, it is time to question whether there is a place for women in the new world of James Bond and what role they will play in the future of series. This volume answers these questions by examining the role that women have historically played in the franchise, which greatly contributed to the international success of the films. This academic study constitutes the first book-length anthology on femininity and feminism in the Bond series. It covers all twenty-three Eon productions as well as the spoof Casino Royale (1967), considering a range of factors that have shaped the depiction of women in the franchise, including female characterization in Ian Fleming's novels; the vision of producer Albert R. Broccoli and other creative personnel; the influence of feminism; and broader trends in British and American film and television. The volume provides a timely look at women in the Bond franchise and offers new scholarly perspectives on the subject.




For His Eyes Only


Book Description

Husbands have received God's call to love their wives in the same way Christ loves His Bride, the Church. When a husband displays this kind of love in his marriage, he goes against the grain of our humanity. He engages in behavior many would consider revolutionary in today's society. More significantly, when a husband loves his wife as Christ loves the Church, he brings great joy and sweet peace to his home and marriage. For His Eyes Only is a devotional workbook and prayer guide to help husbands live out the Christ-like, revolutionary love God intends for marriage. The short chapters in For His Eyes Only provide husbands straightforward, practical advice to help them become the husbands God has called them to become. Each chapter includes questions and action tips to help husbands put the principles of God's design into daily practice. The chapters end with a simple prayer asking God to help us love our wives with a Christ-like love.

Geographies, Genders and Geopolitics of James Bond


Book Description

This book discusses the representational geographies of the Bond film franchise and how they inform our reading of 007 as a hero. Offering a new and interdisciplinary lens through which the franchise can be analyzed, Funnell and Dodds explore a range of topics that have been largely, if not entirely, overlooked in Bond film scholarship. These topics include: the shifting and gendering of geopolitical relations; the differing depiction and evaluation of vertical/modern and horizontal/pre-modern spaces; the use of classical elements in defining gender, sexuality, heroic competency, and geopolitical conflict; and the ongoing importance of haptics (i.e. touch), kinesics (i.e. movement), and proxemics (i.e. the use of space) in defining the embodied and emotive world of Bond. This book is comprehensive in nature and scope as it discusses all 24 films in the official Bond canon and theorizes about the future direction of the franchise.




Through His Eyes


Book Description

The moment I saw her walk through the door of Forbidden Ink, I knew she was the one. With her wide hips, thick thighs, and perfect breasts, she's every man's wet dream. Add to that her dark, soulful eyes, pouty lips, and a body covered in gorgeous art, and I knew I needed to make her mine. She's a walking contradiction of sass and strength and determination, hidden by insecurity and self-doubt. She's everything I could ever want or need, but she doesn't see what I see. I want to take away her pain. To be the one to make her laugh, to make all her dreams come true. I need to prove to her that I'm not him, that no matter what, I'll be right there beside her. Loving her. If only she could see herself through my eyes, she would understand we were made for each other.

Through His Eyes Only


Book Description

This book is in part autobiographical in that it examines the life of Vincenzo Rulli. It is a story that needs telling. It needs telling because his life commences with an awareness of him being disassociated from his body. It needs telling because it traces the struggles of his parents and the history behind their decision to leave their country of birth and migrate to Australia in search of a better life. It is a story that needs telling because it chronicles the happy years when the family lived, worked together, children married and grandchildren and parents visited grandparents on a weekly basis, and grandchildren played together. It needs telling because it is filled with paranormal phenomena that followed Vincenzo from birth to the murder of one of his nieces and beyond. It needs telling because it chronicles thirty-four years of struggles by Vincenzo and the police of the state of NSW who having arrested charged and convicted one person, rested on their laurels, notwithstanding evidence within their own brief that points to the complicity of others, it needs telling because Vincenzo gathered evidence that should have been gathered by police and that even though this evidence supports the hypothesis that more than one person was involved, the police could not be moved from their position that only one person was involved in the murder of his niece. It needs telling because this story is proof positive for the proposition that good guys don’t always win, and yes you can get away with murder.
