I can't stop laughing at Pierce Brosnan's head on the TWINE cover

These new individual releases are good for those out there who don't already own the films or who absolutely need digital copies. I can't imagine there are too many people left that fit those categories though. I see they were going for a specific style with the new artwork, but it just doesn't quite work for most of them. I'm debating whether I should pick up the new steelbooks, but it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense they are only releasing 9 of them.

Roger Moore and the actress on Live And Let Die don't even resemble human beings.

Those are truly some of the worst covers I've ever seen. The only ones even close to acceptable are Goldfinger and (maybe) Casino Royale.

Is Goldeneye the same crappy transfer as before ??

Of course.

Will we ever see a re-mastered Goldeneye on Blu-ray?

Probably on 4k blu-ray if the technology is ever able to get off the ground.

not til UHD; our best bet was this year for the 20th anniversary.

Worst cover art I've ever seen in my life.

agentalbert · 09-15-2015, 08:24 PM

Oh, that cover art is atrocious. The one for "Live And Let Die" looks like something from "The Sims".

I don't think I've ever seen DNR applied to cover art before.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know where I can purchase the following current individual Bond films at a reasonable price? I'm sure eBay is the best option, but I was hoping to find them somewhere else for around $5-$8 each. I'm trying to purchase these remaining titles for my father in-laws collection. I was able to find quite a few Bond films for only $2-$3 at Fry's a while back, but still need these ones.

[Show spoiler]

The other option is I just wait it out until this next wave with Digital HD copies included is eventually reduced in price. I'd imagine Fox Connect will be a good source in the future.

Not sure why you think $5-8 is the "reasonable price." Anyway, that aside, the singles will likely drop before launch. Remember these are early pre-order prices still.

I guess $7-10 each would be more reasonable based on the prices I've seen for Bond films over the past few years. I don't think that's too unreasonable considering they are catalog titles and I've seen the entire Bond 50 box set drop down to $100 quite a few times and even $80 once or twice. If you were to pay $9 for each individual title, you'd be paying over $200 for the entire set of 23 films. That's a pretty decent difference when comparing the box set to a collection of individual releases.

best bet for that cheap is pawn shops or used book stores that carry movies. A few of those seem OOP, as this new line is releasing for Spectre and the holidays.

WTF.
