I'm almost finished my "The Thing" project, and result is almost perfect (using HD-DVD as video and laserdisc as color reference)... what about using BD video and WOWOW color reference to obtain the best version? I mean, we could forgive some DNR on effect shots if we have right colors (or, at least, better colors), do you all agree?

Eh. I can live with the BD colors, and if you want the earlier colors, just watch the WOWOW release. The WOWOW release does have some flaws (it's a little over-sharpened and it has some minor digital alterations) but overall it's an ok transfer. (and there is no DNR on the effects shots)

Plus, while the BD colors are not original (especially the teal that crops up), there is no real way to determine how accurate the WOWOW colors are. (I actually think the warmer tones of the bluray often fit the movie better, although dvdmike would disagree.)
