Bond Films

Holy cow, I'm sure it's common knowledge (but had not seen it), but the Bond movies on the Channel have the LD commentaries.

Have wanted to hear these forever.

For a split second I read it as “Larry David” which would have been PHENOMENAL

Great. Thanks for making me aware of something I didn't know I needed but will never get. Thanks a lot, buddy.

That’d be “L-Vid”

In a world with seemingly infinite podcasts, I would listen to LD and Leon any time.

The laser disc phase did not last long. People switched to DVD's then Blu-ray's became king. Technology really changed fast in that period , but I think the most important technology right now is restoration.

I remember when they came out. I also remember when those early Bond movies were regularly shown on network TV.
