My guess is that this will be similar to the easter egg contained on Eps I and II; that is, the DVD credits will be interspersed with a blooper reel and that this will be hidden as an easter egg.

I will admit that the Thorns album isn't as strong as Rainy Day Music by the Jayhawks. That's a really solid album, as are the 2 Flaming Lips albums (though I give a slight edge to Yoshimi).

Exactly. It was used on the effects shots, like I said, to reduce the number of generations used in those shots. You have added nothing to what I said. As for your comments on grain, do you actually know what grain is? Grain is the silver halide particles that form the image; no grain, no image. Finally, as to whether or not all the details shold be captured in a resolution scan, as I said before, scanning @ too high resolution is going to reveal details originally obscured by generational loss, details that were obscured for a reason. Do you really want to see all the wires and other trickery and therefore destroy the illusion that the filmmakers have worked so hard to create? I certainly hope not.
Whether or not 4K scans will become the defacto standard in the future for HD cinemas has less to do with possibility and more to do with available bandwidth. Since proposed delivery systems for digital cinema include encrypted satellite transmission, I doubt that 4K scans will become the norm anytime soon.

Lord Peeler, I took a look @ Lord Peeler vs. the Fanboys. If this is your definition of fanboy, then I think nearly all of us here can heave a huge sigh of relief.

It isn't, really. Kubrick did apply a variety of mattes during shooting, but it's still 1.37:1 (Academy ratio).

Fair enough. I guess I'm still smarting over the free copy of The Mask that I got in a box of Frosted Flakes; P/S and with language bleeped out. Makes me want to SCREAM!

Except that Grumpier Old Men is pan-and-scan, isn't it? As for the water question, I don't see why the parties couldn't come to some sort of negotiated settlement whereby all the parties are happy.

Also, Kubrick did create a safety zone in his compositions, since he knew that most theatres would show his films in 1.85:1. He merely eschewed 2.35:1 and sterophonic sound because he knew he was producing material for 150-seat crapoplex theatres, who wouldn't be able to do justice to his films in terms of presentation.
