A buddy got himself a full set of James Bond films(except Skyfall). First one was made in 1962, last one in 2008.

Watching them one after another feels a little like time travel. The technology! The cars! The fashion! The furnishings! The hair! Even the behaviour, you can see them all changing at 10000x the actual speed. Try it yourself, tell me what you think.

The sexism!

Um, no, actually. The sexism hardly changed at all from '62 to '08. Or in Skyfall, for that. That's why there's the generic term "a Bond girl"; it's a remarkably frozen stereotype.

Well... Yeah. You do have a point there.
