It doesn't make sense to me that if they had a cleaned up copy on film that they wouldn't scan that. They do that sort of thing for DVD's all the time now, so I can't imagine it being that expensive. So, I concluded that they must not have a cleaned up film copy. If that's wrong, then that's pretty lame to stick us with the 1993 master. But, in any case I will be happy to get this thing on DVD, because my laserdisc versions look great and these versions will be even better.
