James Bond 007 Thread
Time

Target had some 007 Collection 3-packs on sale, I could not resist. So now I own the Craig's I already had, the first 3 Connery's, and the first 3 Moore's. I've seen them all, but I'm looking forward to watching them again.

I also saw at Walmart the aforementioned opening-credits-themed Blu's, however, they were NOT steelbooks, at least at Walmart. Since I doubt they made a Lazenby set of one, I'm going to have to pick OHMSS up separately, might as well be that one.

EDIT: Further research shows that the Steelbook versions are Best Buy exclusive, and they DO make a Lazenby "collection" consisting of a single movie.

Complete SW soundtrack box set: vinyl, CD and apparently hi-res

In my opinion, it depends on how you want to listen to them. If you're in a recording studio with perfect speakers, you'll want lossless. If you're in a car or at home listening casually, a CD will be just fine. If you're listening on in-ear headphones while you're jogging, MP3 is fine.

Digital Bits has some more... bits:

And in other news, Sony Music and Sony Classical have just announced that they’re re-issuing all 6 of John William’s classic Star Wars film soundtracks on vinyl box set (SRP $229.98), CD/DVD box set ($74.98), and lossless digital download (192kHz/24bit – no lossless download link is yet available, but we suspect HD Tracks and Pono Music will have it available). There’s also a “Mastered for iTunes” version available on iTunes for $49.99. Worldwide street date for all is 1/8/2016.


So vinyl, CD, lossless, and iTunes. If those CD cases are like the Beatles releases where they're miniature versions of the original soundtracks, I might have to get them.

Damn to the depths of hell the idiots who are responsible for this ludicrous display of poor taste.

That would be Bill Prady, late 80s Muppet writer turned Big Bang Theory creator. I honestly was going to lay into him, but I didn't know he actually worked with Henson and wrote the memorial special after he died. I didn't find the new show to be as awful as I feared. I'll give it another couple episodes, see if it can actually move from "not awful" to "actually made me laugh". Maybe if it wasn't focused on Kermit and Fozzie's dating drama (not to each other) and was just about the writer's room, because I'd watch Gonzo, Rizzo, and Pepe all day.

That has been a long time in the making and all the drama that surrounded it eventually being acquired.

A milestone indeed. Well done! Is it the actual sculpture you got modified, or totally a scratch built new sculpture?
Scratch built. See the Wordpress for more pictures.
