Ok ;)
Hey look there's actual blacks and darkness in the image without everything being crushed!
You can easily see the amount of pink shift in the second clip from the skin tones, wall color of the DS (greenish) and the tractor beam power indicator.
Still it says something when a pink shifted reel is 1000% preferable to a single frame of the official BD. I'd watch and love a whole faded, scratched, cropped, beat to hell, torn, water damaged, burned, mold infested print before I'd watch the BD.
I made copies of the PG for backup and have showed it to numerous people. The difference is quite apparent-even to the un-initiated. The fact that the SE prints had such good color and printing and then we get everything reduced to this putrid 2004 mess is inexcusable.
As far as the grindhouse versions, I'd think that the best idea would be to leave it wholly uncropped and reveal the entire frame. Those of us who are viewing these aren't going to care about the inherent quality anyway as we've probably seen far worse. Also this would probably be the best way to see the different ways to perform the overall 2.35 crop points for the final version.
ok, good to know someone has comments..
well i wouldn't go too far with these prints, they're
more of a curiosity and historical record, than the
ones to showcase the movie.. i think it's good to
have a few different versions floating around because
of the appeal of the different types to different people.
did anyone notice anything different when the pictures
are uncropped. does it seem that way to you?
if you didn't notice it before, you probably won't notice
it after either..
oh and another one:
