FILMFEST HD: JAMES BOND HD (17 Titles)

Hehe, you entered the Contest? It would take me longer to get the airport than it would to drive to the museum. :D Still the $500 cash would always be welcomed.
 
I can't get enough of the Bond women! I love Pussy Galore, Holly Goodhead and Plenty O'Toole.

...never thought I'd be able to use those words in a sentance. ;)

I've always had a soft spot for on her majesty's secret service - if you read the books, it 's more true to them than the others. I'm probably in the minority here but I never really liked Roger Moore as Bond. Connery obviously was the best, followed by Brosnan, Dalton, Lazenby and then Moore. Hey, I know that most will disagree but I'm recording mostly the other guys. I will agree that Live and Let Die was a great Bond movie, in spite of Moore.
Disagree...Roger Moore, followed by Sean Connery, and everyone else is a tie for last place IMO.

Add to that Honey Ryder (from Dr. No)... I can't get enough of these names... :D
 
This has pretty much shut down the only HD Cinema channel I watch anymore. I've just never been able to get into James Bond movies. So add that to that godawful Kung-Fu channel and a Monsters channel that rarely shows anything good that's not a repeat, and I guess I'll go do some yardwork until July.

I agree. That is my favorite followed by the ones Sean was in. I never liked Roger, either. I prefer Timothy Dalton to Roger Moore. I'm probably in the minority and going to get an earful, also. Oh well.

Funny, Roger Moore was my favorite.
 
I Just watched part of Never Say Never Again. First snipet of bond on voom I've seen and my only gripes is that the dd creation is way off, almost like 5 ch stereo, with dialog coming oeut of the rears way too heavily, the DVDs are much better. also the vcenter was off, the black bars weren't even.
 
Is it me or do these seem to just be DVD quality. The picture does not jump out at your like Discovery HD?

Also they are are letter boxed? Is that also a sign of it being just a little better than DVD quality?
Is this worse than HD lite?
 
I think HD Lite contributes to the poor PQ but most important is how well the master was kept. Also the process of making the HD movie has to be considered. They do look like DVD quality especially the older ones. I can't compare to the actual DVD of the movie since I do not own them but if someone does, please compare and let us know. The DVD of each of these movies should be lower quality and should give us some insight as to how the quality of these movies.
 
Just watched you only lived twice. This time the sound placement was more natural, but the vertical alignment of the picture was still off and tonight the image froze in a couple of spots and eventually caught up, the audio kept going...
 
How can we expect them to figure out what resolution they are in.....or HD v HDLITE when they can't even figure out the correct channel they are on!

 
Yep, my sound was messed up also. Words were not following the actors lips.

My kids were watching and they thought it was one of those Godzilla movies (they were to young to know James Bond).

Voom need to get there act together, we FORCED to pay for Voom in the new HD Packs. If you want HD must now also pay for Voom.
 
Yesterday I watched “You only lived twice” and at some point switched to “Casino Royal” on HDNET Movies. Those two movies are approximately same age. The sound was quite the same but picture quality was soooooo… much better on HDNET:confused: .

What’s up VOOM? You show only old stuff. To win customers you need attract them with something. Awesome picture quality would be the main thing.
