The older Strangelove Blu is no slouch though. Just watched it again recently. I’m really hoping Criterion gets to do The Shining, as there’s room for improvement on the decade old HD master.
According to Bill Hunt’s review the two Strangelove blus are based on the same transfer (a 4K scan of various second +generation elements (the O-neg, I believe, was destroyed). The Criterion is just a more modern mastering of that transfer, which looks incredible considering the neg is lost.
