So despite evidence to the contrary (namely that 35mm print, which is indeed not definite proof) that the blu-ray is at least closer to the theatrical timing than the dvds,. You maintain that your memory (humans have been shown to be very flawed in remembering things like colors) is more accurate than any of the evidence shown in this thread?

Anyway I've said what I think about the blu-ray, and I think if you don't agree with me, I doubt you'll ever agree.

(and no the blu-ray isn't perfectly accurate either, but as I said I'll 'blame' that on digital color timing)

Yes, that is correct. My memory, along with the 2003 DVD release (which I am currently scrutinizing over as we speak) and the WoWoW project, all point to the fact that the Bluray is flawed in both brightness, contrast and color timing. The Bluray is too Orange(ish)-Yellow in color and brightened a bit too much, in laymen's terms. You_Too demonstrates this pretty well in post #161 in this thread, even though he used "Temple Of Doom" to prove a point, and ROTLA has even a bit darker look to it than Temple Of Doom did in most parts...IMHO.

Another good indication to look at, is the WoWoW youtube comparison, and this is what I experienced in the theater in 1981 and still see in the 2003 DVD release:

I hope that help explain it a bit better, but if not, I will try and get some comparison shots posted here before too long.
