They are good, but the faces on the Skyfall one are seriously out of wack.

Thanks SJK91. I should point out, of course, that I'm not the only one who's had trouble with black bars... Anyhow, it's not that I object to the picture being shown in its correct ratio, not at all, I was just wondering if there are flatscre…

I have a follow-up comment to Chrisisall's screengrabs, and it's a doozy. The reason the black bars don't show up on his set is simply because it is not as widescreen as other ones, surely? Most new flatscreens are a lot wider, to allow for the f…

"Yes, much better. Now run along Chrisisall" (slaps his arse) "Fan talk..." BTW that pic doesn't have great clarity, is that not Blu Ray or is it the camera that is not too sharp? I am better informed about all this thanks to this thread, but …

WTF, you one of Dragon's Den or something? (sulks) Folk complained about the black bars when watching The Artist at the cinema, and I didn't feel too comfortable about watching the re-released Goldfinger at the big screen. BTW, has anyone picked …

I don't have a flatscreen, am looking to buy one, and it is a vexing task. Give a man a choice, you give him a dilemma. Sometimes old TV shows from the 1970s, sitcoms usually, come up on the box, and they have bars down the side, yes, I find it o…

I kind of felt parts of Skyfall were written to cover the possibility of another real-life terrorist attack on London during the Olympics, in which case Dench's Tennyson speech would bring the house down, along with Bond standing guard over London a…

Okay, no one responded to my sideswipe, so I have another question, for those who like watching the first three Bonds on Blu Ray. Do you watch with the black bars down the side of the screen? That would be offputting for me. Or do you expand the …

Thanks for the tips. I too am looking forward to watching Skyfall on Blu Ray, as I understand the dialogue is a lot sharper; also there were lots of plotholes when you watched it at the cinema, but these have been filled in on the Blu Ray edition…

I'm also new to BR, and while you ponder on MayDay's box set query, I wanted to ask NobodyDoesItBetter, what are you supposed to use to connect the equipment if not scart leads?
-
Hmm, tricky isn't it? One reviewer for Lawrence of Arabia wrote than on Blu Ray Anthony Quinn's false nose shows up more, and on Moonraker the stuntmen and wires holding up the space station are more obvious. Sometimes, less is more.
-
I imagine it's a ruse to encourage quadruple dipping; they'll release some later BluRays with wonderful covers, which will get snapped up. The artwork on this forum is better - has anyone done some alternative BluRay sleeves?
-
Well, there's this one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BSYR4QU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2RM6REO1OWNJK&coliid=I12HQ9UDF0EJB8 It's the Sony BDP-S1100 Multizone All Region player, around £200. Good reviews,…

I use the bluray.com site for reviews, but I have to say their screengrabs, used to illustrate how wonderful the blu ray picture is, don't always look that great to me (responding to the guy who said The Spy Who Loved Me screenshots looked a bit was…
-
But do his tats show up more? I am using this site to assess reviews of all blu ray films, not just Bond. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Moonraker-Blu-ray/3732/ But for the above review, it suggests they are talking about the US release (Reg…
-
Oh, that's interesting, so you just keyed in the name of your BluRay and did a Google search for the hacking code?
-
Most hyped? Superman: The Movie, Moonraker, AVTAK, Lethal Weapon 2, Pulp Fiction, Face/Off, Kill Bil Vol 1. Most let down? Star Wars (where is all this happening? Two camp robots getting bitchy with each other in a dessert? Where is this in relat…

Thanks. It turns out there is a region-free BluRay player, as well as region-free DVD player, but if these exist and are legal, why aren't they all made region-free? I know you can mess about and distort the picture options, but I don't really wa…

That dialogue with Bond and Jinx is the stuff of nightmares and the only time I have felt physically sick when watching a film, it is awful in every way. The close up of Berry's face at one point makes her look like a snake or a lizard, just as they…

I am a newbie to both buying widescreen TVs and BluRay. I have a lot of catching up to do, but I wonder if anyone can help me with some questions? Re the screen ratio mentioned above, it is a bit of a headhurter. For one thing, the square-ish Aca…

I think Renard was talked up as a kind of feint. After all, he is meant to be the main villain as far as the audience is concerned, at that time, as we don't know about Elektra. So he is kind of bigged up to mislead us, then it turns out she is the …
-
Jimmy Savile, Stuart Hall, Rolf Harris (allegedly)... But yeah, it is a product of the times, but some of this stuff comes out better than others. Personally I don't find much of the Connery stuff too risible, though it's a decade earlier (though…
-
Fair enough, WG, the point about Anya's shower arrangements might have been better made if there had been some lechy looking sailors looking on, then again it depends how long they'd been at sea, maybe Moore should have been the one in a private sho…

Oh, and regarding Andrea in Golden Gun, well, Moore's Bond is like the school prefect who, upon his promotion, fancies he can now act like the School Bully. Except, the school bully does at least have some natural authority, albeit according to the …
-
In some ways, TSWLM does not let up on the sexism. At the time it seemed laudable that Triple X is a smart, competent, cool Russian agent and not some Goodnight bimbo. But rewatching it, it seems Moore's Bond is very sexist, putting her down all the…
-
There was a similar scene to TSWLM in FRWL, where Bond's heroics are rewarded with two Balkan lasses, presumably for sex, though as this is 1963 you can't be sure. There isn't the icky 'delve into its treasures' line though, and anyhow it's a young,…
-
I think it is the tone that is wrong a lot of the time, and that is worst with Roger Moore in my (recent) opinion. It's just this self-regarding attitude, you could be the best looking guy ever and a woman would not want to go with you. To be fair, …
-
I have gone off Moore of late, his acting seems very confined and stiff and for me the joke isn't funny any more. His every line seems to be a sort of send up, highly affected - he never did this as The Saint. But I always enjoyed his movies more th…
