"Casino Royale"
and
"Quantum of Solace"
I love these films more and more each time I re-watch them. Watching them back to back was a lot of fun.

Is that the new version?
Still working on the new version. It will get done, but it's slow moving. I am now trying to upgrade my editing PC's O.S. to Windows 7.
Happy Crimble!
Good King Wencelas last looked out
On the Feast of Stephen, Ho!
As the slow ray around about
Deep and crisp and crispy.
Brightly show the boot last night
On the mossty cruel.

Thanks for the support everyone. I am quite excited about this.
Just got home from "Tron Legacy".
Not bad, not great. My first IMAX feature film, and first 3-D film I've been to since "Jaws 3-D" back in 1983. Felt it could have been a bit shorter for what it was. Felt a bit too much like a clone of the (new) Batman, and also last two Matrix films. But a fun ride for the ticket price. The first Tron was a bit more original. This was just a rehash of the games, and some re-cycled dogma from other popular films of the type. Nothing new here, but nothing stomach turning ether. The attached trailer for the upcoming "Mars Needs Moms" film, now that was stomach turning.
Just wanted to retire from my armature fan editing carrier at this time. I'm sure the Bond laserdisc preservation will get done (as I want them for myself too). I will also still answer my personal mail about such things and keep up here on the forums. I'm not totally quitting that type of stuff. I'm just not going to be doing it as any kind of major release, or anything like that. I've seen some of my past work being used in unsavory ways, and I don't want to be involved in that anymore. Keeping my hobbies personal and between friends seems the best policy.
Also, I've recently been accepted and will be attending the film study program at San Francisco State next fall. With this exciting development, a lot of my time right now is being devoted to my preparation for returning to academic studies after nearly 20 years destroying my brain cells. Like lot's of people who become depressed due to a disability changing their life, I have been doing a fantastic job of making excuses not to follow my (very old) dreams. Well I've had it with feeling sorry for myself. I've got the time, people say I have some talent with editing video and film, so why the heck not?

I'll still be around to chat...

The one at the credits?
Yes. I know why it was done, but I still hate it.
The last show I watched on T.V. or the Internet was on May 24, 2010.
It was the "LOST" series finale.
Did you know that Christopher Nolan wants to direct a Bond film? I have heard him express this wish in an interview. The Dark Knight and Inception both had very "Bond" like action scenes, and I would love to see Nolan direct a 007 flick. The assault on the mountain fortress in Inception seems like a blatant nod to OHMSS and other Bond films.
"Inception"
and
"Bronson"
First "Inception"
Not bad, but did not think it was as good as I was expecting.
Just thought it would be a bit more original, and not go so much into the cheesy type cliches. The acting was good, but I did not feel that all the characters had been fully developed. I did enjoy Tom Hardy a lot, and just can't believe he is the same guy from "Star Trek: Nemesis". His performance was so good, that I also watched his film "Bronson" latter that night.
"Bronson" was top rate. Good writing, acting, and direction.
I hate the cut at the end of "Thunderball" even more.

Bumping to mention all the TMP stuff in the latest Profiles in History auction.
Don't know if any of the photos are things not seen before elsewhere, but still cool to see!

That is cool.
I own most of the stuff in this auction lot, including the one sheet, press kit, novel.... http://www.profilesinhistory.com/items/hollywood-memorabilia-auction-43/collection-of-vfx-material-from-star-trek-the-motion-picture.html
Very interesting! Thanks for posting that.

I miss the TBS 15 days of 007 from my childhood.
Lucky FF! Did you get the DTS LD or the Dolby one?
Weird. I just lost an ebay listing for this.
It's the Dolby one.

The Sci Fi channel is doing a 007 marathon over Thanksgiving. A chance to watch the films that aren't on Blu Ray yet in HD if nothing else.
Along with ugly station watermark and endless promo pop-ups for some stupid Ghost Hunting type show. *frown*
Update:
Just got my hands on a sealed copy of the "Tomorrow Never Dies" laserdisc for just $2 at Amoeba Music here in San Francisco. I may do some preservation of the digital surround track at some point in the future.

Dave,
I'm so sorry to hear about this horrible ordeal that you are forced to endure. You are one of my favorite people on the forum, and I am truly concerned about your situation. You are in my thoughts brother!
If any type of potentially helpful or relevant information comes my way, I'll be sure to forward it to you. I'm a disabled person (not working), and have been dealing with serious life threatening issues for a number of years now. I can completely sympathize with your struggle and anger at a system that does not work, care, or have any compassion for the sick.
But still, there are people out here who do care about you. Keep strong, and please try not to give up, or in to depression or worries. I'm in no way a religious person, but for some strange reason, the light of hope and inner peace tends to reveal itself at the darkest of times.
