But to not buy the Indy trilogy just becasue of a missing reflection (and maybe some cleaned-up matte lines)? It's your choice, but it seems like overkill to me, not to mention depriving yourself of those films on a worthwhile format.To me, a change is a change, and none of them should exist.

I agree. Personally, I never noticed the snake's reflection, so I didn't notice it was missing- LOL! Little mistakes like that -reflections, matte lines, etc., - tend to take me out of the movie when I do notice them, so I prefer it if they're not there.
When I heard about GL doing the SE, I was hoping that they would fix the garbage mattes because they always annoyed me. Nobody is more of a purist than me, but I don't consider that to be an "alteration" since they were never intended to be there in the first place. They did everything they could at the time to try to make them less visible.
However, like I've said before, it's ironic because with all the changes to the films for the SEs, they didn't even fix the matte lines/garbage mattes completely.
