I certainly understand the mentality on this site for people to want movies to look like they originally did. Even with questionable references to “originally” aside though, for the most part I can live with a blu-ray with a slight modern regrade. Aliens looks great to me, honestly, even if I know it’s probably not accurate. DNR is of course a different issue. Always checking against the laserdisc transfers in every case seems pretty misguided, though obviously sometimes it’s helpful.

When it comes to modern films, the claim that “they added a blanket tint for the BD” is usually inaccurate, though I don’t begrudge people who want to do a regrade to their liking. Often the changes seem so slight as to make me wonder why they bothered, but power to them.

Of course we can all agree that the OT looks like absolute shit on blu-ray. No debate there.
