Aliens: Teal, teal & more Teal. :(

NOT ON BLU-RAY - Orange and Teal, or How “Re-Mastering” is Distorting Our View of Classic Films (link from OP) shows this stupefying Aliens Blu-to-DVD comparison:


Fortunately, it can be easily color corrected with a few histogram settings (in a paint program):
HISTOGRAM
RED       Gamma 1.6  Midtones +15
GREEN   Gamma 1.1  Midtones +20
BLUE      Gamma 1.1  Midtones -3

Speaking of Aliens (Extended Edition, though)... what about a spoRved version?

Your use of the Avisynth ColourLike() should do short work of Aliens -- except the problem areas of crushed blacks and blown-out whites, which this Blu-ray has.

BTW, I was impressed by your nice work on The Matrix correction and tried that filter (in your ColourLikeFBF function) ... but kept getting an error message "Evaluate: System exception - Access Violation ([ScriptClip], line 5)". What did you do to solve this?
