My lovely husband bought me collections 2 and 4 of the James Bond collections. You see, A- the MC in the novel I’m writing, is a James Bond fan. And I’ve never seen any James Bond movies- until I eventually caught From Russia With Love on On Demand.
Surprisingly- I liked it! Cheesy, yes, but fun and funny.
So, Hubs bought the last two collections left at Barnes and Noble’s for me. And we were all excited because several of the movies that he liked were listed on the back.
Well, guess what? I decided to watch GoldFinger tonight. Ripped off the plastic, and pulled out the DVDs.
And it was a totally different set.
Here I found that the correct DVDs are listed on the bottom of the box, but what was listed on the back is stuck on with that tacky gluey stuff. Either an advertisement, or someone accidentally pasted on the wrong listing.
On the upside, the collection actually has Thunderball, and someone on Twitter told me that’s one of the best ones.
I’m about 20 minutes into Dr. No right now. And I so want to get my hands on the books…
