I've sort of been wondering whether the 70mm version (said to be present on the Bluray as a 4.1 ac3) might make for a better source, speculating on the possibility that the music might be mixed into the left and right front channels only, as opposed to the 2003 mix which contains music in every channel. It would be great if that were true, because then I could at least isolate the dialogue in those instances, while letting the sound effects be silenced for the sake of music replacements if need be, but I have no idea if that's really case.

Didn't end up seeing the movie after all, since the girlfriend wasn't in the right mood for it, but watched the episode of Buffy where everyone loses their voices ('Hush'). Pretty cool, and sufficiently creepy for Halloween, lol.
