the Walmart exclusives are 9.96.
Can't say what the target or bb exclusives are yet.

I really only want a small number of bond films.
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

Really, $10 each? Impressive. That means the $8.50/each of the box set is considerably less of a savings than I had thought. Hmm.

well I know that 8.50 appeals to your purchase sensibilities, but 9.96 is comfortable for me. And I believe they are not bare bones releases, but we'll see.

I had the box on preorder, but cancelled it. I really only want a few of the Bond films too, no sense buying the whole set when I don't enjoy all the movies.

I haven't seen a lot of the Bond films, maybe I should rent them first. Plus if the individual releases are selling for that low, I'm thinking there will be a bigger discount on the big box around Black Friday or so

I saw and enjoyed some of the more campy Moore ones at the ripe age of 9 or 10 and found the Connerys incredibly slow-moving after that. I really prefer John Le Carré - it#s slow-moving, too, but at least for a reason.

You only love it because you're obsessed with the British! As a series of movies Bond is only matched by Star Trek in the disjointed mediocrity stakes. There's about four or five good adventures in there at best.

You even love the last one, which was awfulness dressed up in a tux.

Really, REALLY?

Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, Casino Royale all work very well for me. I don't feel any of those films are just average or mediocre.

I'll let someone else give props to the Dalton and Brosnan films, I can't.

Almost all of the Bonds are watchable, in a it's raining outside and I've got nothing better do sort of way, but only a handful rise above nostalgic comfort food IMO.

My favorites are

Live and Let Die
Octopussy (mainly due to Barry)
Goldfinger
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
The Dalton one with the Fratelli villain
Casino Royale

The Connery ones can drag, but at least they're interesting. I couldn't stand the lame attempts at humour in the Moore Bonds. In fact, they made me stop watching the series when it was on TV. As a result, I still haven't seen any of the Dalton Bonds.

Brosnan is my favorite Bond after Connery. Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies are both really great films. It starts to go downhill with The World Is Not Enough and then it explodes with Die Another Day, which is worse than Never Say Never Again. That being said, he was always a great Bond. The cast was never a problem, it was the horrendous writing and direction behind the latter two films.

Tuesday Airport arrives on schedule.

This film has everything, an Airport, a bomb, a priest who slaps people, an annoying kid, a stowaway, a Drunken pilot, and one hell of a score by Alfred Newman.

Looks like all the deleted scenes are in HD! I look forward to the Reflections feature, but I already saw Final Word on TV. Much of the 2 1/2 hours of new features is that special. I find that disappointing.

Tom Hanks is a little too much serving himself and not the movie though. His ego wants to take over or dominate the whole movie. With other words, his character is too big. Hanks is not helping the movie, he's competing with the movie.
