So the question remains: what the hell did they do?!

I know only one guy who could possibly have the true answer to that question. His initials are MV...

I think he said once that he had seen the master tapes and that they didn't have the fake-looking grain for example.

All decisions about content, colorimetry, etc. are made by the film company, and many times the director, producer, or cinematographer is present. THX engineers are present in an advisory capacity only. Much of the look of a movie transfer is the responsibility of the telecine artist and the studio advisor.

So either George was there or they were all sleeping. :)

EDIT: Sorry for double post! haha
