Re: Bond Bluray Film Club

Here's what I just bought. Hopefully it's got all the extras http://www.amazon.com/Never-Say-Again-B … ever+again

What's the BR transfer like for this one if you can recall?

Re: Bond Bluray Film Club

Yes, that looks like the one I have. It's not one of my favourites
But I think it was a good transfer, ( haven't watched it in ages )
Although I know it didn't have the restoration treatment the official
Bond films got.

Re: Bond Bluray Film Club

NSNA is SO uneven... at a smaller price I'd get it on BR, but the film just isn't good enough for more than ten bucks IMO.

ajb007/lol  Can't remember the price but I think I got it for something
Like £ 5.99, which I was happy with as all I really wanted was
The commentary.  ajb007/biggrin

Re: Bond Bluray Film Club

Yep, had the DVD but the only extra on it was the film trailer, and
I love watching the " making of" features and listening to the
Commentaries, always remember something new.  ajb007/wink   ajb007/smile

Re: Bond Bluray Film Club

My top 4 James Bond films based on the Blu Rays I felt it absolutely necessary to own first :
YOLT
TLD
LTK
TND

Re: Bond Bluray Film Club

Just got the BR of TND, and again I am thrilled. So many little bits of visual information just there for a richer experience. It's not like night & day- my DVD was quite impressive, but enough difference to make me very glad I got it.
Next up will be YOLT. I predict THAT to be a startling difference. We'll see.

Yeah, TLD & LTK pretty much blew me away. TND just blew me down.
Either way, it's nice to get blown.

Re: Bond Bluray Film Club

Just finished YOLT on Blu Ray, and.. I got words...

First, wow did it look great.
Second, I'm SO tired of hearing how SC phoned in his performance- he was freakin' stellar here IMO.
Third, poor cat- I'd run too...

Re: Bond Bluray Film Club

One of the great things for me with the bluray of YOLT, was I finally
Noticed the clip of the original actor for Blofeld. Where Bond first
Meets him. As you can see his hair over the top of the chair back. ajb007/martini
I've read about it, but was never able to see it before.  ajb007/lol
( Jan Werich, was the original choice )

Jan Werich was seen too much like a 'Sweet Father Christmas' then that of a menacing Villain.

Re: Bond Bluray Film Club

This month ,I've watched DAF and LALD  ajb007/martini
They have the usual extras from the ultimate DVD collection
Both in my opinion have transfered very well, I'd say that
LALD looks a little better. Although I know LALD ( along with
TMWTGG ) was filmed in a different aspect ratio, and somehow
I feel I'm missing something when it's not in the letterbox shape.  ajb007/biggrin

Do they still have the pointless 'Activate' Option before you get to the main Menu?
