Of the 4 picture comparison sample earlier, the JSC I think nails it overall. I love that disc.

Just as a better comparison, here is the Raw LPP vs GOUT for the intro, and flyover again.

And just to change things up, here's the very end ceremony before the credits kick in.

Its interesting to watch the movie synced up, and see where the edits line up, and the framing of the picture.

This just goes to show how badly that IP sucked the life out of the picture. It is drab and dull compared to the print source, and further reiterates my point of not being able to always go by an IP or negative source for proper coloring. You can tell that George had the look of the release prints in mind when the 2004 master was made, but that the wrong methods were used to obtain a horrendous re-approximation of that look.

Audio samples would be great! Thanks for the update.
