PDB, 'moving target' is akin to what TServo2049 is saying. Don't get me wrong, I like reading many of these threads, especially when there are good thoughts, however, as you may guess...
I haven't read anything is this thread that (IMO) counts as authoritative. Nor have I read anything in this thread that mentions something that's missing or that needs preservation.
All this talk comes down to each persons preferences, sensibilities, pickiness, and (faulty) memory. I get it, some don't like the colors, however are they that bad?
It seems some color choices are being picked because someone remembers it that way? Seriously? It's not even worth it to type how misguided this is.
Why do people think the LD/VHS/Beta/'Earlest Home Video Release' is authoritative or correct?

Don't get me wrong or mad, I really like this site, however it seems this thread is trying to hit a target that doesn't exist.
skoal, have you ever read Sammon's Future Noir: The Making Of Blade Runner? It covers the discovery of the workprint and the making of the DC.
No worries about being mad but I don't understand what do you mean? I don't follow about the target and such.
