According to this old article, MGM bought the rights to NSNA from Taliafilm in 1997. I think that Warner just had the distribution rights for a limited amount of time, and when that expired MGM snatched it up (reportedly for somewhat over $2m). At the time MGM claimed that they bought the...

I'm sure that there's a fair percentage of non-hardcore fans who aren't aware of the entire rights issue with Thunderball that led to Never Say Never Again being produced independently of Eon Productions. And even those who know that may not have been made aware that the Bond 50 set...
Unfortunately, there's really no way of finding out prior to purchase. If your video equipment can't handle 50hz material, it's better to let someone else be the guinea pig and go off of their report of it. BDInfo scans are great at giving detailed information regarding a given disc's...
I found a German retailer that has a full listing of the bonus features on the 23rd disc. Naturally they were listed in German, so I used an online translator...

Like I said earlier, I got $80 (before fees/shipping) earlier today on eBay for my 11 used pre-Craig discs. Then again, I most likely have a lot more "free time" to do all the grunt work required to make an eBay auction successful (taking pictures, typing up a blurb for the listing...
Actually, it all depends if the video content of the disc is encoded in 1080i50 or not. Most US BD players can't handle 50hz content, regardless of region coding. Some examples of this kind of disc are the UK releases of BBC's Human Planet and Frozen Planet documentaries.
However, if the...
Yeah, you're absolutely right. The mix between the old releases with gold logos on the spines and the new releases with the white logos will not look good at all. Also, the placement of the studio logos and the style of James Bond's picture won't match up between old and new releases. You can...
I can understand your disappointment regarding how the final 9 movies' BDs are being treated, but I don't think the box is over-priced (especially if you consider the alternatives).
The problem is that buying the 9 movies that haven't released individually before (which are coming out on 10/2)...
That's how I interpreted it as. The 20 pre-Craig films should all have the same menu templates, and the 11 films that already came out individually should be the same in the box set.
