It was on their website for like 3 years actually.......

Plus Robert Harris said the Bond movies had the wrong vintage grain

Plus DNR removes noise, grain = noise to the machine, they cannot just magic it back

Plus Cameron said they removed the grain

And who said the OG ghostbusters disc was better?? you are all over the place buddy 

Please point me to a link. 

How am I all over the place? It is well known that the GHOSTBUSTERS BluRay was a disaster of contrast boosting. It's one reason why it was redone. Massive thread on this at AVS with the new BD being talked about on the last page.

DNR can reduce or remove grain. I sat in on a session as my 16mm short film was being worked on and ultimately decided not to remove any grain (because I liked it) but no doubt there were different levels of reduction. From minimal, all the way to full on grain rape. 

I will say it again... Taking a currently released Blu-Ray and adding grain to it is just adding noise. To each their own by I think it's a mistake. I'll wait to next year and see what happens.
