# Hahahahahaha!
I have to say, I didn't thuink I'd notice a difference with an upscaling DVD but I did.

SO Blu-Ray will probably make my head explode.

And I'll have to buy all the Bond movies again, which will please Lady S no end

# It all seems a bit pointless to me
I mean... how real do you NEED Sean Connery's chest wig to look? Surely the explosivisions are still as impressiv as on VHS...

# When it comes to Sean Connery
the less real the better. They should edit all the Sean Connery ones and put an animated version of him in.

# I suppose
getting Daniel Craig to act out every scene and superimposing him would be more to your tastes?

# I'd need to see it first before I could decide.
Not all of us can form an opinion based on on knowledge and an openness to expanding my knowledge. Some of us need to experience things to understand them.

But seriously; Roger Moore. That is all.

# Ah, see now you've tweaked my geek nerve
The restoration job they did on the SE DVDs was superb, particularly on the early ones.

But I doubt if the Blu-Ray versions will be any better.

You only polish something so many times before you start to dull it.

# Have done...
that was the very film that convinced me that upscaling was worth it.

And that it was worth spending £20 on a coaxial audio cable

# Morgan Spurlock tells an anecdote in one of his books,
that the chap who would later invent the McDonald's supersize used to work for a cinema chain. This cinema chain were struggling to convince people to buy enough popcorn - they tried buy-one-get-one-free, but no one wanted to be seen eating two tubs of popcorn. So what he suggested was that they increase the size of a portion by 100%, but only put up the price by about 10%. Suddenly people thought they were getting a great deal and people who used to not buy it started buying it.

Spurlock does not, however, name the people involved or the cinema chain in question.

# I've dug mine out again
to archive some stuff from years ago

There's a certain nostalgic charm about spending twenty minutes going backwards and forwards trying to find the thing you want

A bit like waiting half an hour for a C64 game to load
