Argyle at Goldeneye Beach Region: Jamaica Sleeps: 2 Argyle at Goldeneye Beach Region: Jamaica Sleeps: 2 Overview The exclusive resort of Goldeneye is the ultimate in luxurious beach living. Created around the Jamaican beachside home of James Bond creator, Sir Ian Fleming, the resort offers low-key yet sophisticated accommodation in an idyllic and secluded setting. This one-bed villa is the perfect romantic hideaway – a traditional Caribbean cottage with jalousie windows yet refined with modern comforts. Designed with indoor/outdoor living in mind, at the front of the villa is a huge verandah – a wonderful spot to relax and listen to the sound of exotic birdsong and the waves gently lapping the soft golden sand. Stroll through the door into this simple, yet elegantly designed living area complete with a Queen-size daybed decorated with colourful batik-patterned cushions and a comfortable armchair. The adjacent kitchen area has everything you could need, being well-equipped with a retro-style Smeg fridge, fully stocked with chilled drinks, and a stylish Italian-designed oven and stovetop. Music lovers will appreciate the selection of Island Records tracks included with the sound system, and there is a television in the living area and in the bedroom if you even get around to turning it on. At the rear of the villa is the bedroom, which can be separated by a curtain, with its custom-made King-size bed, fitted with luxurious 400-thread count bedlinen, elegant writing desk and en-suite bathroom. Lie back in the large, claw-foot bath for a soothing soak, or choose to head outside into the romantic outdoor bathroom, where you can revel in an indulgent open-air shower in complete privacy, surrounded by lush plants. Outside the wonderful verandah ensures outdoor living in comfort, with a dining table and chairs, and comfortable padded loungers. A ceiling fan complements the cooling sea breeze. In the morning, enjoy freshly ground coffee from the Blue Mountains as you gaze at the azure sea, or relax together with a chilled drink later on after enjoying a dip in the pool.

Most flights arrive in Montego Bay, 73 miles to the west, but for guests arriving by private jet, the resort has its own airport – Ian Fleming International. Famous as the writer’s island home, Goldeneye – and this stretch of spectacular coastline, with its secret coves and lush jungle – provided the inspiration for the James Bond stories, and it is still a stunningly beautiful and romantic place, evoking a magical era of glamour and sophistication. Guests may well choose to spend their entire time at the resort, enjoying the privacy and tranquillity. With stunning white sand beaches, beautiful pools, relaxed bars, a stylish restaurant, a spa, tennis courts and various watersports to enjoy, you may well find you need nothing more. However, Jamaica has plenty to see if you feel inclined to explore beyond this secluded paradise. Just 20 minutes from Goldeneye is the bustling town of Ocho Rios, home to the famous Dunns River Falls, and to the spectacular Blue Hole – a natural limestone sinkhole filled with azure water, also known as Secret Falls. Jump into the water or swing from the rope in this magical, tropical setting. Dunns River Falls are exhilarating – a natural landscape of cascading falls where you can swim and paddle in this tropical paradise. The spectacular Blue Mountains are well worth a visit for guests wishing to see more of the island’s beautiful natural scenery. Guided tours are available which will take you up into the mountains where you can go hiking or mountain biking. Explore the hillside villages, catch a glimpse of some of the island’s native birds and butterflies, and enjoy a refreshing swim in a waterfall pool. The Blue Mountains are also famous for the coffee which grows there, one of the best and most expensive in the world. Guided tours will take you to visit one of the many plantations where you can learn about the production process, from bean to cup. Pay a day trip to Kingston, the island capital, a buzzing metropolis that is also home to Devon House. This wonderfully elegant mansion was built by one of the island’s first millionaires in 1881. Take a tour of this beautiful property and gardens and be sure to try the famous Devon House ice cream, widely regarded as some of the best ice cream in the world. Music lovers will want to pay a visit to the Bob Marley Museum. Housed in the Marley’s former home, it pays tribute to the legendary musician with an interesting collection of his prized possessions on display and a theatre where a short film tells the story of his life. It is advisable to book a guided tour in advance as the museum gets very busy.

  • James Bond a 50 The
    JAMES BOND: SIGNIFYING CHANGING IDENTITY THROUGH THE COLD WAR AND BEYOND By Christina A. Clopton Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations and European Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Masters of Arts Supervisor: Professor Alexander Astrov CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2014 Word Count: 12,928 Abstract The Constructivist paradigm of International Relations (IR) theory has provided for an ‘aesthetic turn’ in IR. This turn can be applied to popular culture in order to theorize about the international system. Using the case study of the James Bond film series, this paper investigates the continuing relevancy of the espionage series through the Cold War and beyond in order to reveal new information about the nature of the international political system. Using the concept of the ‘empty signifier,’ this work establishes the shifting identity of James Bond in relation to four thematic icons in the films: the villains, locations, women and technology and their relation to the international political setting over the last 50 years of the films. Bond’s changing identity throughout the series reveals an increasingly globalized society that gives prominence to David Chandler’s theory about ‘empire in denial,’ in which Western states are ever more reluctant to take responsibility for their intervention abroad. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgements I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Professor Alexander Astrov for taking a chance with me on this project and guiding me through this difficult process. I would also like to acknowledge the constant support and encouragement from my IRES colleagues through the last year.

  • LACMA Presents …Is James Bond, Co-Organized with LMU's School Of
    LACMA presents …Is James Bond, co-organized with LMU’s School of Film and Television, June 9 – September 9, 2012 Exhibition features all twenty-two James Bond opening credit sequences, fourteen of which were created by film title designer Maurice Binder, in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Bond franchise (LOS ANGELES, June 4, 2012) – The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents …Is James Bond, the first exhibition to feature the complete opening credit sequences from twenty-two James Bond films produced by Eon Productions. Co-organized by LACMA and Loyola Marymount University’s School of Film and Television (SFTV), the exhibition celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of one of the most successful and long-lasting film franchises of all time: James Bond. SFTV Dean Stephen Ujlaki says, “Bond’s impact on popular culture is immense, from music to fashion and automobiles, and on the business side, the people who advanced the franchise deserve immense credit, among them LMU alumna Barbara Broccoli, and Eon Productions.” Over the course of fifty years and twenty-two films (soon to be twenty-three with the release of Skyfall), James Bond has gone from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, from the Soviets to the North Koreans, from M as a man to a woman, from secret nefarious organizations to power-mad tycoons. And while 007 was changing, the opening credit sequence remained constant. “Beginning with Dr. No, the opening credits, created by Maurice Binder, have functioned as pieces of art that comment on the films, while remaining separate from them,” says Elvis Mitchell, curator for Film Independent at LACMA.

Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL May 2019 Copyright 2019 by Grant C. Hester ii MALE BONDING: A QUEER ANALYSIS OF THE JAMES BOND CANON by Grant C. Hester This dissertation was prepared under the direction of the candidate's dissertation advisor, Dr. Jane Caputi, Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Communication, and Multimedia and has been approved by the members of his supervisory committee. It was submitted to the faculty of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters and was accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Khaled Sobhan, Ph.D. Interim Dean, Graduate College iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Jane Caputi for guiding me through this process. She was truly there from this paper’s incubation as it was in her Sex, Violence, and Hollywood class where the idea that James Bond could be repressing his homosexuality first revealed itself to me. She encouraged the exploration and was an unbelievable sounding board every step to fruition. Stephen Charbonneau has also been an invaluable resource. Frankly, he changed the way I look at film. His door has always been open and he has given honest feedback and good advice. Oliver Buckton possesses a knowledge of James Bond that is unparalleled. I marvel at how he retains such information.
