I had all the Gerry vehicles from Product Enterprise at one time- still have the Eagle and the Fireball. Anything can happen in the next half hour!
Tempest was modeled after James Garner the actor
...that makes sense!
Yes, sounds right up my street.
Not exactly Christmas, is it? No, it's a few days later.
Something I've been working on and off for ages, and a little tribute to 10 years of Skyfall!
One device for John Bryce, with production-accurate ticket which was in the envelope Q hands to him.
No advice, but I'm struggling with that as well. The prices don't seem to be going down and my man cave blu player died about a year ago. I still have my older one, but I can't help but wonder about that option. I want the best but am not willing to necessarily rebuild my collection yet again. I'm also interested in thoughts.
Is it worth it? The value is in the eye of the beholder I suppose. If you want the best home cinema possible, then yes it is. The quality of the 4k discs is variable, as with blu-ray. Older films which have had a proper restoration look the best they ever will, as will new films which were filmed, edited and finished in 4k.
I think 4k blu-ray will be the last physical home video format, I cant forsee 8k taking off as the market in the main seems happy with blu-ray and streaming. As for rebuilding a collection, I’d be selective and only upgrade your favourite films to 4k blu -ray.
Regarding the 4K BluRay player, I think it’s a great long term investment because as others have said - it’s going to be able to play/upscale your old DVD’s and Blu-ray’s while also accommodating new 4K releases. In my opinion 4K will be the final stop for physical media as the human eye really can’t detect 8k unless it’s a massive screen and you’re quite close. Another feature I quite love about my 4K player is that it’s Bluetooth headphone compatible - can pull up my chair very close to the screen and enjoy immersive full sound with the headphones.
Lot of food for thought here.
So what do you think. Will this happen anytime in the near-ish future? And at what kind of price point will we most likely be looking at?
As for pricing, I’d go £10 per film plus a nice box for them all, prices it at around £260-£280 RRP.
My other copy, the Hardback, bought on publication day and is still in the red foil wrapping.
Recently scored a nice Mauser C96 replica which is of course the pistol Grant saves Bond's life with at the gypsy camp, seen at the SPECTRE training camp, on Q's gun wall in GF and was housed in the weapon tray under the seat of the DB5 tour cars back in the mid-60s. Like the film props, mine comes with a holster stock that slides onto the back of the Mauser's grip.
I already had a Mauser on its own but it was a cheap foam dart shooter modelled after an air-soft version, thus a fair bit inaccurate. To get a real nice older version complete with metal parts, actual Mauser logo on the side, interesting holster stock set-up and all for under a hundred bucks was one of my better buys.
It was only £3.50 the shop is closing down, its a shop used to buy records from 30 years ago. Cheers.
Hopefully its the first of many, I had some great John Barry vinyl years ago James Bond scores to the Persuaders and numerous 7 inch singles from Bond and John Barry Seven.
Edited: Sounds great the Single is dated 1967, the Goldfinger track is Dawn Raid on Fort Knox.
CR67 always sounded better on vinyl, all I will say about Percy Faith... version of TB is its different lol
Nice!! I especially like 'Specially created for Carr's Sports Biscuits'!
I was just looking for the single online I was curious if Carr's did a Bond themed packet of biscuits, I could not find anything. I still buy Carr's biscuits today, I like the cheese melts that they do.
