Well, Amazon finally delivered the goods! My long national nightmare is over! Hmmm… whIch one to watch first… ?

I got an Amazon update, now getting Aliens and True Lies on March 27th and The Abyss has a shipping window between April 1st and 10th. It’s getting closer and closer 🙂

Update from Amazon, now I’m getting True Lies on March 27th and Aliens on April 2nd. The Abyss is still…well…lost in the abyss I guess. No delivery date yet on that title.

I just got an April 17th to May 17th as a delivery estimate for True Lies!!! First week of April delivery for Aliens, and no still no delivery date for the Abyss!!!

Speaking of Bond scores, the entire soundtrack to “Never Say, Never Again” is pretty weak. I never listen to it anymore. ( I also rarely watch the film anymore either.)

George Lazenby in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Almost. It’s still one of my favorite Bond films, and I watch it often. But every so often during the film his performance takes me right out of it for few seconds. Considering his complete lack of experience he does an admirable job, but still…

I got the impression (from the extras on the blu ray) that the Donner Cut should be watched as if the first film did NOT include the turning back the world sequence, and ended on a cliffhanger, with the Phantom Zone Villains being freed by the XK-101 rocket Supes hurled into space (which was...

Yes! The sound mix/design of the Director’s Edition is completely new, including all the scenes from the original theatrical version. ( and since they had access this time to the ADR recordings, some of the performances and line readings are different from the ‘79 version.

I got the Complete Adventure 4K set today ( and got the same runaround about delivery date from Amazon that many others have posted about, so wound up getting it at Best Buy). Holy Moly does this film look and sound awesome now! I think I’m most taken by the new sound mix. There’s a lot of...

My very first was Goldfinger on RCA Selectavision CED disc, in 1983. :)

Thanks. almost all of my discs play fine, but I’ve had lock ups on Vertigo, 2001 and now this one. Time to upgrade I think.

Is anybody else experiencing freezing about 51 mins into the 4K disc? I’ve wiped the disc down, but still get multiple freezes between the 51 and 55 min mark, finally just stopping and I have to eject the disc. The special features disc with the theatrical and laser disc version loads and plays...

Columbo The Prisoner (blu ray) The Man from UNCLE Doctor Who (classic & new) Batman: The Animated Series to name but a few.. :)
