Then let the thread die. I'm not interested in Criterion discussion, so I'd prefer it be in a thread I can safely ignore.

You could, theoretically, ignore individual posts, right? When I see something I don't want to read, I don't read it.

!! INCOMING CRITERION COMMENT !!

I do see people referring to "reference quality" as meaning "the best blu-ray has to offer" which I think that Criterion has achieved on every blu-ray I've seen. I think xhonzi is underestimating how good a film from 1954 can look on blu-ray when a quality print is properly transferred and restored. I think Seven Samurai looks better than most modern films shot in HD.

!! INCOMING STAR WARS ON BLU-RAY COMMENT !!

I am very curious to see how SW looks with regard to film grain on Blu-Ray.
