Oh yeah, I definitely see that! I’m surprised, you’d think they’d have more control of this sort of thing! Although admittedly the BD picture is a little clearer.

Some people will never see eye to eye on DNR and EE. Some see it as an acceptable improvement, which makes an older movie look new again. Others view it as unnecessary revisionism, that robs movies of their original look and texture.

FrankT, if you really compare the two, I think youll see that the image in not “clearer”. It’s more something, but “clearer” is not the adjective I would use. It would be one thing if a layer of crud was removed, revealing details that had been masked… but that’s not what happened here. They simply sharpened/softened the image. Think of it like this: someone took a drawing that was originally done using pencil, and traced over it using a sharpie. The sharpie is easier to see, but the original texture is now gone.
