It would seem the only Craig film with decent features is CR. All the others are sub standard. I wonder if we'll actually have to wait until his era is truly over before we get a release with half way decent extras?
I do miss having deleted scenes these days.
I have more though off top of my head can just remember these.
And if anything is crying out for a new cut/ deleted scenes it's Quantum of Solace! Plenty hit the editor's floor if I'm not mistaken?
At least Skyfall had a director's commentary - surprised the Spectre one didn't.
That's what I love about the Blu Ray boxset is that they had all those Inside Looks and extras taken from the archives and previous releases. The way the menus are set up it feels like you have so much to delve in to with each film.
So you're right - the Craig era will have to wait to get a loving retrospective look - maybe they'll even talk him into doing a commentary track or 'inside look' style mini-documentaries after he's retired?
Unpacking the Blufans Exclusive (limited to 500 prints):
Unpacking the Kimchi Exclusive (limited to 3000 prints):
I must say, I like the full slipcase from the Kimchi exclusive more. It's beautifully crafted with embossed/debossed parts and matted and shiny parts. I have no# 100 out of 3000 :-D!
For instance, I love these ones. Also "SPECTRE"-esque simplicity:
Style AND substance ;-)
That's why I couldn't justify getting it, especially for something like SP: knowing I'm shelling out a good bit of money for a slightly different case isn't reassuring.
didn't realise you hadn't them all already.
As you know I got them all as well, any decent Bond fan has (lol)
Design-wise, I think those US steelbooks, which includes MR and LAND and DAD, pretty boring design-wise. They just took the design from ordinary cheap single editions and copy-pasted them on the steelbooks. Moreover, the photography on those steelbooks is so heavily photoshopped.
Then again, it's my opinion hehe. Do you have them @Creasy47?
You are correct Sir, there are the Canadian Steelbooks, 6 of them.
But their artwork is so hideous that I wouldn't want them for free.
Search for 'BLURAY STEELBOOK' on Ebay, tick 'highest price on top', and you'll be stunned :-P.
So, whether it's a $50 steelbook or a $5 bargain bin copy of a Bond film, the film itself is the same, and there's no reason whatsoever for me to get the former when the latter exists.
I understand a collector's sensibility exists here, but a collector I am not.
I own all 27 titles, I love Pop Art, always have. Furthermore the films they choose for this collection are all truly great and belong in any good film collection in my opinion.
I photographed 15 of them, I'll post photos of the other 12 at a later time.
Have a guess which artwork presents what film :)
Some are obvious though :-
If you want to know looky at this:
I got The Fifth Element as well and yes the the disc is only good to use as a beermat.
Sadly the same goes for Evil Dead. Beautiful steelbook but the movie is butchered and about 10 minutes shorter than it should be.
But oh well, at least they look good on the outside...
This beauty just came in the post! I'm starting a steelbook collection as I've fallen in love with them. Currently have Goldfinger, DAF, OHMSS, FYEO and I've ordered Thunderball. I'm hoping to eventually get the rest of the Bond steel books. I've also got The Birds on order and I've preordered the Groundhog Day steelbook that comes out at the end of the month. Got my eye on a Psycho steelbook too.
Edit- I've just noticed that the rating logos are actually stickers and you can peel them off. Looks much better.
My steelbook collection is starting to shape up nicely!
I really advise you to use these protective sleeves:
Be careful. Those people who accidentally bought the first edition of Ian Fleming's "Casino Royale" back in the 1950's, now realize how valuable they are after almost 70 years.
Imagine what will happen to these steelbooks in 60 years from now.
Re Goldfinger, yes so sad although I'm not too fussed as I managed to grab it for £10!
Might have to get my hands on those sleeves!
Next steelbooks on my list-
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
CASINO ROYALE
GHOSTBUSTERS (pop art edn.)
JAWS (if I can get it cheap)
