Spielberg claims that the coloring on the blu ray is closer to the theatrical look, and I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt now that he’s denounced the ET changes.
He lied.
I’m sure it was a lie with malicious intent, with the sole purpose of destroying the integrity of a classic film.
Yeah, I seriously doubt that. Do you think that was Georges intent with the SE’s?
By the way, you don’t know what the theatrical look of the film was.
EDIT: And why wouldn’t the LPP be trustworthy? Do you even know what an LPP is? The color on that print is still intact with minimal anomalies.
Even accounting for variances in color between different prints, that print shows extreme differences from the BD color timing.
