    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Lawrence of Arabia -- in Blu-ray

    Well, I was going to order the 2 disc set, but there is no way I can now.. Collectors Edition it is.. I blame RAH :)

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ The Spy Who Loved Me -- in Blu-ray

    This was a solid transfer compared to some of the others. One of my favorite Moore bond movies, and while Barbara Bach is a looker, she really should have taken some acting classes before filming this one. Awesome bad guys in this one..

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ On Her Majesty's Secret Service -- in Blu-ray

    Sloppy is being kind.. Did the audio mixer actually listen to this before they approved it? Very poorly done the worst of the lot for me so far for the added channels.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ On Her Majesty's Secret Service -- in Blu-ray

    Count me as another one who likes this movie more with age. When I was younger I don't think I ever gave the movie a fair shake as it was the first movie without Connery, and also the only movie by Lazenby. I also agree that Lazenby has moments when he is quite good, and moments when he is not...

    James, Dr. No looks very good. You will be pleased I suspect. Thank you for the rest of the information.

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Goldeneye -- in Blu-ray

    Well I think you can discern if one looks like a wax figure and one does not. Sure the Blu-Ray ultimately would look the best, but the DNR on Goldeneye is about as bad as it gets. Think Gladiator/Patton type bad. Thankfully I don't think the other Bond movies are nearly as DNR'd although it...

    I think it would look much better if they dialed down the DNR.... From what I gather the Laserdisc did not have these issues...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ Goldeneye -- in Blu-ray

    I watched You Only Live Twice (one of my favs) and there is a pink hue going on with the whites.. Otherwise it was just okay for me. I then sampled several of the other new 9 releases and for me, Goldeneye was far and away the worst of the lot. It is defintiely "Patton-like" with the DNR...

    A Few Words About While we wait for A few words about...™ Raiders of the Lost Ark -- in Blu-ray

    What a great upcoming slate for Blu-Ray catalog... Indy trilogy, Bond movies, Titanic, ET, etc... My 7 year old son asks me, literally, everday when these movies are being released on Blu-Ray. He had been playing the Lego Indy game on the Wii and desperately wants to watch the movies with...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ High Noon -- in Blu-ray

    Well I think this is part of the problem (people not really thinking grain is a good thing and preferring a DNR look). Looking at packaged media sales in recent years it is obvious that it is becoming more and more a collectors realm, especially for catalog titles and especially on Blu-Ray. I...

    A Few Words About A few words about...™ High Noon -- in Blu-ray

    I would like to meet Paramount... At high noon... This is just too bad. I was looking forward to adding this to my collection, but will either just rent it, or wait for the $5 used or bargin bin copy. One of my fathers all-time favorite movies and I grew up as a lad watching it with him...
