horrid PAL speedupTo you, to me it was blissfully undetectable. And don't forget superior PAL picture quality, more lines remember? Makes all the difference.

Bizarrely, some scenes later in the flick use burned-in subs. Why the switch? I have no damned idea...Ooooh it's just MGM screwing round with their films again. Tomorrow Never Dies was the same: the "HMS Devonshire" card was in blue (burned-in) while the rest were player-generated.
Sorry, but all this crap about edge enhancement etc. etc. etc. means absolutely nothing if the film itself is in such a mess.
Studios: Create a good, consistent presentation of the film - as close to the theatrical experience as possible - and THEN worry about picture/sound quality.
I despair.

MGM just does so much right with this medium and again are pushing the limits of this technology in new and innovative directions (their apparent failure or success with edge enhancement and halos not withstanding).And don't forget their total inability to retain the original, theatrical burned-in subtitles (see above) :-(

I mean, when was the last time you saw a really good Bond film?Uh, Goldfinger, probably. Bond isn't a spy anymore, he's an action hero, by God.
I'd be thrilled if he'd just go back to being a spy, and Brosnan would be great at that.

I understand that Brosnan will shoot one more and then he will pass the baton to the new guy. What do you think of Hugh Jackman as James? Oh well, just a thought.I say Jason Issacs (Tavington in The Patritot)
