Bond!

[yendi]

Amazon's Deal of the Day is the four Ultimate Edition Bond Boxed Sets for a total of $125 (65% off, and shipped for free)!

That's insanely cheap. Even if buying this means you're stuck with a copy of Moonraker.

Well, Poop..

I *Like* Moonraker. So there. :P

Well, if you want a cheap rehash of The Spy Who Loved Me, without any of that movie's good qualities, Moonraker is the perfect film. ;-)

And it does have nice John Barry musical lushness, too... Even sub-par John Barry Bond music is better than most of the other composers' Bond work (though I do like David Arnold's work on the current Bonds).

Wherrrre

youuu....

Oh , dear.

I'm trying to wonder what a Neil Diamond Bond theme would be like... ;-)

I'm fond of the changeover Jaws makes in the last minutes of the movie...what a great character. :)

My favorite line, when Drax is on the phone, and he says "Oh, well, if you can get HIM!" talking about Jaws...its priceless, I think everyone knows exactly who he's talking about before you even see him. ;)

I'm only just now signing up with Amazon's affiliate program. I didn't even realize they had one 'til I took a look at your link!

Q: When they ask me for the site address, should I give them http://ldy.livejournal.com? Anything I should watch out for during the sign up process?

Thanks!

Done and Done. At just 6.25 per DVD, how can you pass that up?

I could seriously imagine Diamond at least covering "Thunderball." (Is something wrong with my imagination? Where is my mind? (Oh my God, Diamond doing the Pixies would cause brain explosions...))

Is there a link to find out what the Deal of the Day is each day, or is it something you just have to come across?

This is the second one of these that you've pointed me to that have been fantastic, though -- first was Arrested Development, now Bond!

Now I'm waiting with baited breath for the Star Trek: TNG Deal of the Day (it's more likely to be a Deal of the Day than it is for Paramount to show some actual sense and lower the damn prices).

Any higher, Mr. Bond, and my ears will pop.

"Even if buying this means you're stuck with a copy of Moonraker."

I was the right age to enjoy 'Moonraker' in a theater. But the same holds true for '1941.'

At the very least, one can watch that cool pre-credits sky-diving sequence over and over.

The Gold Box icon at the top of your Amazon page. It will also provide you with ten daily deals (which are personalized, so I don't bother linking to mine), each of which will be an extra 5% off the regular Amazon price (but you're only allowed to buy one per day from that list of ten).

[yendi]

In my case, I'm screwed by the fact that I've got over half the set already (from previous releases, but I don't have a huge need to double-dip).

The sign-up's pretty basic (and the LJ site is fine), but remember that you can't get credit for your own purchases, and if you do so accidentally, you'll see it subtracted from your totals at the end of the month.

See, the conversion of Jaws from evil to good is one of the things that really annoyed me. It's not like he was a big lovable teddy bear in TSWLM who was just caught up in the wrong crowd. He was an evil, sadistic fucker. And I don't buy him switching sides.

Re: Any higher, Mr. Bond, and my ears will pop.

[yendi]

I still enjoy 1941. :-)

Re: Oh , dear.

John Barry's Bond music is truly amazing.

Good to know! I didn't see that part.

I'll buy from you if you buy from me ;) (Oh, like I wouldn't buy and haven't bought from you anyway. Hm. Is this the 30-something consumerist version of "show me yours I'll show you mine?")

Paul picked up today's deal directly from the site, so Amazon gets the extra $5. Darn!
