I have all 21 Bond flicks on DVD, bought them when they released that new set after CR's release. Of course, within a year the price had dropped quite a bit so I paid more than double what I COULD have paid for them.

 

The other 20 films are coming out on Bluray in a couple of months, but I'm not sorry I didn't wait. Instead of 5-film sets for $60 or so (like the DVD release 2 years ago), it's over $60 for just THREE films, or roughly $21+ a flick. Sorry, that's like $450, and I'm not a big enough Bond fan to convince my wife of THAT one. :grin: I spent about $250 for the 21 films on DVD and I'm sticking with that (I didn't have a BD player when CR came out so I have it on DVD).

 

I will of course get QoS on BD when it comes out next year. Isn't that a great acronym? Maybe the next bond flick will be called The China Project-Intel Problems to let geeks rejoice for that one, too.

Sean Connery, followed by Rodger Moore, then Pierce Bronson, and finally Timothy Dalton (although he looked like Bond was supposed to look but his acting was kinda....)

 

This James Bond does not do it for me, he is too gruff and does not have "Bondness" about him, but maybe they have changed him since Casino Royale.

 

If they are restarting the Bond series (well in sense to go with modern times), my guess is this supposed to be Spectre he is going up against.

This Bond is more close to the books than any of the previous ones. More assassin than spy really. The only other one that comes close to the books is Sean Connery.

I noticed the press over here seemed to put him down entirely based on his looks - but were duly gutted when the film turned out to be brilliant - for me its finally got the grit it needed - DC seems to be someone a lot more believable as an assassin.
