"The DC timing may not be 100% perfect, because no transfer ever can be for an older film simply because the colours will no longer exist in any reliable way, and perhaps the DC is a bit punchier than it should be, but its closer to watching something from the original negative than any previous version of the film, including original prints"

You also said to Imperial Fighter:

I understood what you are saying. But you are mistaken.

It seems to me that that is too strong a statement to make when you concede in the same post that it is impossible to be 100% perfect and therefore 100% sure. I agree with everything you said about the Blu-rays, and I am sure that they are fantastic, but if the color timing does differ I can understand how he feels if he prefers the old transfers, inaccurate though they are in some respects. I just think that one can see both sides -- that's all.

Well, what I said is that he is mistaken in insisting that the previous transfers are how the film should look and the yardstick by which to measure the film. This is still a fault. It doesn't matter if the DC is not 100%, it's still a mistake to take it to task for deviating from the previous transfers since the previous transfers were not accurate either, nor are theatrical prints (and ones memory of theatrical prints). Whether the DC is perfectly faithful or not, my point is that it's in my opinion a better representation of the look and image quality of the film.
