Well, I don't much like the fact that it's a Limited Edition disc,
nor that it's so pricey, but I went ahead and pre-ordered the
Twilight Time Blu-ray release of
Our Man Flint, the first of two Derek Flint superspy capers starring
James Coburn. It's supposed to come out in mid-January, with the sequel,
In Like Flint,
to follow in February. I'll probably pre-order that one, too. Because
these discs are only issued in limited numbers, I can't really follow my
usual method of buying used discs cheap on the secondary market; when
these suckers go out of print, the price only goes
up.
So, why did I bite the bullet on this one? Well, first of all, I'm a
huge fan of the movie, and even though I have the very nice
Ultimate Flint Collection
DVDs that Fox put out a few years ago, this Blu-ray has a buttload of
new bonus features, including a couple of new documentaries by
John Cork
- the guy who put together all the great documentaries on the James
Bond and Charlie Chan discs. Ultimately, I just couldn't pass it up.
What can I say? I'm weak.

Don't apologize, sir-this was a great movie, and you have a right to buy it. I love the way this movie inspired Kim Possible (in the being an 'independent contractor' sphere.)
