Instead the Blu-Ray features the movie in it's proper framing.

The Blu-ray of GoldenEye NEVER used the Lowry transfer. That's the point. They knew it was ****ed and so they swerved it, but instead of doing a new transfer at the time (as they did for Spy Who Loved Me which also swerved the badly flawed Lowry master on Blu) they dug out an old HD telecine instead which had incorrect geometry and DNR slathered all over. So you all losing your shit because it's not the Lowry transfer are leading people on the wildest of goose chases, and the eulogising over what is a creaky old transfer with the grain obliterated and everything looking all stretched out is just fookin hilarious.
Don't get me wrongo, if youse can prove it's a newly remastered disc with screenshots or other actual evidence then I'll eat all the crow you can plate up, as well as rushing out to buy said disc. But I've got some folks in here on ignore for a reason and this will be the icing on that particular cake if it's proven that they're talking bollocks like they usually do, despite desperately trying to convince people that they actually know what they're talking about. Here's one: Warners didn't just stumble onto the Bond rights, they entered into a home video distribution deal for MGM way back in 2020 and that includes all the extant Bonds save for NTTD which is Universal's (for now). The funny thing is that most of the MGM titles they're reissuing with WB logos on are literally the old Fox-produced discs, and oddly enough matey's description of the 'new' GoldenEye disc says it still starts up with the Fox logo...
