PS: Off topic, but does anyone know *why* blurays end up with funky color grading? It's not a result of the transfer, is it? Is it just an attempt to make things look more "modern"?

The modern color-timing trend is teal and orange, so a lot of old movies remastered within the last several years exhibit this trait. It has nothing to do with the transfer process itself. If you go back and look at early blu-rays (from like 2006 to 2009) that were using the same hd masters used to make the dvd just several years earlier, there's no difference in color-timing.
