So I had a late night, last night and had to get my mind on something else. Lucky for me metall_havy had sent me some of his samples of T2 from this thread. Thanks metall_havy!

The most interesting video so far (haven't gone through them all yet) is the one he references in post 171. It was clearly derived from a 35mm print as he mentions. You can see the cues. I took that video which has a green tint and re-balanced it towards the blue in one scene. I was surprised to see it match up pretty close with the 35mm frames Servo posted, the stuff I posted (35mm and 8mm), some scenes in trailers and this video:

Combine that with what I saw in a 35mm print of True Lies (similar in color timing) and I think T2 is suppose to be significantly bluer then the BD. I ran a brief test at regrading to give it a look. This is 1 LUT for the whole movie and individual scenes would have their saturation, brightness, gamma and colors adjusted but I think it might be closer to what a 35mm print looks like.
