I'm saying that version is right. I am saying it feels more true to a story set on Halloween.

I have a problem with this. This isn't preservation or fixing, but tinkering to suit preference. Sure, no problem in doing it for fun, but I wouldn't call it fixing a problem.

I have yet to see the new transfer, but knowing Cudney signed off on it gives me a little bit of satisfaction and comfort.

As for the audio, and the reports I've heard? Fuck that. Gimme the original mono track please. :)

First, unfortunately I mis-typed (typing too quickly) and forgot the 'not' in "I'm not saying this version is right." My bad.

What's certain is that every single transfer looks different. None of them are alike. It's crazy. But there are documentaries showing Carpenter and Cundy talking about how they supervised the 99 THX DVD and how for the first time they had the means to color it the way they wanted. Blah blah blah. So for me, that's good enough and no doubt it feels more right.

No doubt directors are now falling in love with colors that were not used all that much prior to DI's. Orange and teal are all the rage and guys like Cameron are changing the blue tints in their films to teal tints. I hate it.
