Yes, that change alone is too much. And then there were all the other "fixed" blue-screen shots, etc.

I agree with boris on this one. That's the same reason I've never attempted to get the Indy set. I find it quite irritating.

This I find difficult to understand - after all, it doesn't really change the content of the film - but hey, to each their own.

It just seems like you'll be depriving yourselves of really nice versions of the Indy films for a very minor thing. And I don't expect they will ever release a giant box set with one whole disc with the snake reflection and one whole disc without. That would be silly. Seamless branching allowing you to see the reflection if you want: maybe.

We all draw the line somewhere. Personally, even with the Star Wars films, I'd be fine if they fixed certain things that were glaringly distracting: garbage mattes, matte problems with the Rancor scene, ships flying through other objects, the Emperor's eye slugs, etc. as long as they left other things alone that weren't a problem. For the vaseline smear below Luke's landspeeder, I don't think there's a fix for that. And the way they did it in the SE looked terribly fake. They erased too much of the bottom of the landspeeder and made the ground too far below it.

But I also like to be able to have a version of the films with warts and all. And generally that's what we'll get in September.
