Maybe if it bombs we’ll be spared of a Suicide Squad cinematic universe.

EDIT: As for that Raiders shot, I really can’t tell any difference between any of the shots other than the light, which I hadn’t even noticed as being different until now. I don’t get why they changed it since it looks better without it,

They were “fixing” a supposed continuity error, because other shots in the scene establish that the light is on. And that shot in particular has stood out to me since I was little, so seeing it with a previously nonexistent light in the middle that looks like they used a soft eraser in Photoshop to make, it’s a little jarring.

but again, I wouldn’t say it’s worth streaming or downloading a 25 gb file for it.

Well, that’s not the only reason there is. There are other alterations that are actually a little nit-picky, and the altered color timing ruins it for a lot of people.

For me, personally, I would’ve gotten the 35mm release even if the BD was untouched. There isn’t anything changed in the Jurassic Park BD and I got that release too. I love 35mm film prints. I just do. Raiders is one of my favorite films, and I have every right to not watch a shoddy Blu-ray release. The legality issue should be no different here than in any other case of an HD film project on this site. I mean seriously, people download 20 GB files just to see the exact same BD with different color timing (this is also me for some films).

Just because you don’t notice and/or care about the problems in a video release, that shouldn’t stop me from caring about the film. When I care enough about a film, I want to make available the best/most enjoyable experience watching it. For me, I’ve found this usually in 35mm print scans.
