    By all means, keep us informed!

    MGM Press Release: BOND 50 (Blu-ray)

    When the theater depicted in my avatar advertised that they would run GOLDFINGER all through the night on New Year's Eve 1964/65, my 15-year-old self knew right away that's how he wanted to spend the evening. (I had already thrilled to it a week or two before -- it had just opened in December, I...

    Beautifully stated. I treasure my memories of every bit of that.

    I should have gone to the reviews! Thanks, Matt. I'll check those, but it sounds like I will be making that same decision.

    MGM Press Release: BOND 50 (Blu-ray)

    After all of these months, I need to ask a silly question -- silly, because it's probably been addressed many times over in this or some other Bond 50 thread, but I can't face the prospect of searching for it. Maybe it's a simple yes/no answer, or perhaps someone can point to where I can find...

    What's it still doing down there? By now you should have been posting pictures of it in your driveway!!

    And BB's new rack setup, combining DVDs and BLUs, is absolutely horrible. This, after I'd noted some improvement in stock over the past few months at my store. Now it looks like crap and at a glance through the aisles it seemed like they had less than before. I just don't frickin' get how...

    Best Buy is looking more like the last days of Borders with every passing week of releases.

    MGM Press Release: BOND 50 (Blu-ray)

    If it's some current corporate paranoia, let's just seem them apply this admirable conscientiousness to the tiny, fast-scrolling, UNREADABLE end credits on TV these days. Or are the pretty ones with pictures at the beginning the only ones that "must" be seen? What utter insanity.

    MGM Press Release: BOND 50 (Blu-ray)

    My Bond 50 just arrived, with a totally unexpected but welcome surprise: the inclusion of the poster book, even though I only ordered the set on the 21st. At least I don't think that was supposed to happen. But I'm delighted that it did. (Also, no duplication of discs, and no scuffs or...

    Hear Hear, Hallelujah, and Amen to that.

    Excellent. Thanks!

    The UK disc labels look pretty nice with the "007" logo. The "Bond 50" logo on the US ones is crass in comparison. Or are they all the same? There have been so few pictures of this set that I don't know if I'm seeing the right items.

    MGM Press Release: BOND 50 (Blu-ray)

    After all these months, thinking that with so many other priorities I'd be happy to sit on the fence till this set had been out in the field for a while and the dust had settled..... I just caved. The price/aesthetics balance hit the right point today. As a rule, I'm not...

    LOVE that video, and my hat's off to you for doing it in three days. I missed seeing that before, too. Coincidentally, I had my own private Bond marathon -- same thing, all films in the order released -- just after that, in March 2011. With one minor difference. I took three WEEKS to...

    That was just a cynical off-the-cuff assumption, by the way. I do hope there are some good people there.

    Not only did that former momentum get lost, there's probably no one there who still has any sense of continuity on the series, and can only envision "New Big Box".
