Too many directors are fouling up their originals with all this colour-grading nonsense.  It looks like I'll be sticking with more and more DVD originals at this rate... 

I think the reason behind this is that many modern homevideo releases goes back to the original negative when producing the new transfers and instead of bringing in the original DP again to do the colortiming, the producer of the sets do it themselves or sometimes the Director of the film, very disturbing.

I am in two minds about the new color timing of Bladerunner.  At times it is closer to the workprint than the other cuts, but at other times it is too blue, and I find myself sick of the blue by the end of the film.  When directors recolor-time they never seem to know when enough of one tint is enough.  At least the other cuts have their original color timing on the five-disc set though.

I disagree, the archival cuts included in the Blade Runner set sports a different colortiming than the original one that sometimes looks even worse than the Final Cut.
