Just saw this tonight.  It's all over the place, sometimes seems like it was trying too hard.  Seems like the actors gave it their all with the script they got.  Bunch of roll the eyes moments, but also some other pretty entertaining parts.  Not the worst DC movie, but reminds me of how WW84 compared to WW and just wasn't on the same level of the first Shazam.

Torn. Love the art. But I don't have any of the GotG films on 4K. I wonder if they'll release a trilogy down the line? 

Disney 100? 🤔 😆 🤐

Another MCU steelbook, of course instant order!  But really missing not have any new MCU premiums... 😔  and not even any new Zavvi lentis 😞 

Thunderball 🌩  ⚽️?

Goldfinger 🪙  🖐 ?

For Your Eyes Only?  👀 

Live and let Die? 💀 

Challenge 34: Days of Future Past

1. Blade Runner

2. Back to the Future Part 2

3. Edge of Tomorrow

4. X-men Days of Future Past (had to add this because it ironically was set in 2023 for part of it)

The prediction I would have liked to have come true was from Back to the Future Part 2 with the Cubs winning the World Series in 2015.  Thankfully, the prediction wasn't far off, and the Cubs took the crown in 2016 after failing in 2015!

Challenge 25 still evades me, and still need to submit 24, 28, 29, 32, and 35, but that will have to wait for another night.  🌙 

Challenge 33: Intermission

1. Avengers Endgame

2. Zack Snyder's Justice League

3. Gone with the Wind

4. Ben-Hur

5. LOTR Return of the King

Trying to catch up to some challenges I missed.

Challenge 31: Did that really happen?

1. Schindler's List

2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

3. Apollo 13

4. Lawrence of Arabia

5. The Ten Commandments

6. Spartacus

Turns out almost all my movies are not based on true stories, other than these ones. 

Casino Royale? 🎰 

Not from The Living Daylights, but Skyfall is absolutely correct!  Nice one! 👏 

Not OHMSS

1. OHMSS

Complete lucky guess.  Next one up ....

Thunderball?  ⛈️ 🏀 

Someone needs to knock this one out.  Probably won't be me, but will try.  What about Dr. No?

@Gary K Thank you!  Ordered as well.  Anytime I can avoid Amazon (whether US or European) I am in. 👍 🙏

Hoping for an Amazon UK listing since Zavvi still isn't shipping to the US. Fingers crossed!

@MikeH5856 how well does Amazon UK ship?  Haven't had great luck with Amazon US shipping, so would worry about UK Amazon.

Live and Let Die?

The Man with the Golden Gun?

Comparison of US and Italian versions for Superman steelbook set.  Not yet sure if I am returning the Amazon US one, as have a while to decide.

1. Superman 1, both full gloss, US version much darker, unfortunately my US version came badly scratched

2. Superman 2, US version full gloss, Italian version matte with spot gloss.  Full gloss to me wins despite a ding and a few scrapes that came on the US one.

3. Superman 3, both full gloss, really can't tell a difference at all between the two.

Superman 4, both almost a metallic like full gloss and spot gloss.  US back is full gloss, Italian back is more a metallic finish.

Superman collectables steelbook, US is full gloss and Italian one is matte.  Unfortunately, my US one came with some pretty long vertical scratches on the back (the negatives of full gloss).

US gloss for Superman 2 and the Superman collectables steelbook definitely look better, and gloss on back of US Superman 4 looks better than the metallic back on Italian one.  Caveat is that the US steelbooks came with multiple dings and were much more scratched and scuffed up.  US box also came with a dent while the Italian one did not.  The US one also comes with digital copies.

Due to the Italian one coming with significantly less damage and scratches, that one wins for me.

Dr. No?

Definitely appreciate that they are ditching the plastic cases and plastic inserts.  They just looked cheap and the inserts seemed to just scratch the steelbooks.  Wonder what 20th anniversary title is next.  Looks like Casino and Gladiator are not quite up yet.

@R1s1ngs0n chooses the most difficult frames.  You want to make educated guesses, and then a week goes by and you realize you have run out of educated guesses and just need to wing it 😅
