I don't see the point of using DNR and EE with a pristine new 4K transfer so don't worry about that.

 what do you mean?

Those don't go together.  DNR and EE are typically applied to outdated masters in lieu of a remaster.  For example, Predator, BTTF, Star Trek films.  In the case of a brand new 4K remaster, DNR and EE would be counterproductive (and dumb).

 If that's the case when do think that would come out?

Considering many review websites gave the BTTF set glowing reviews, I don't think they're in a position to care.  I re-read some of them recently.  4.5 out of 5, seriously?

I suppose that will happen when their only criteria for positive reviews is "better than DVD".

 That's sad guess non of the reviewers can be taken seriously. I wish there was something we could do :(

I didn't know i didn't say the name of the site though did i ruin everything?

 Interesting to see that you've graduated from being constantly obnoxious to being directly harmful. Congrats.

 As I already spoke to him on the matter, this really wasn't necessary.

 I apologize. It's probably good that you said something directly to him, it might help it sink in. But this is not a person who has ever shown evidence of learning from his mistakes. 

 When it comes to something like that i'm very careful once i know what not to do so i don't cause a problem.

Just got out of the BTTF 35mm showing. Story time --->

The show started off with an air guitar contest tuned to the scene where Marty plays at the dance and the winner received a pair of purple Calvin Klein underwear. We all had scratch and sniff cards to go along with the movie as well as glow sticks for the flux capacitor scenes and replica reprints of the "Save the clocktower" newspapers to wave around during those scenes. The scratch cards were very cool... whenever there was fire, hay, or manure you could smell it and the whole theater wreaked of it.

The print itself looked gorgeous for its age with very little wear and tear. I was blown away that it was preserved that well. I spoke with a friend who was hosting it and he did confirm that it was rented from Universal Studios. If I could describe it... it was like the DCP but every shade of color was noticeably darker in tone. I noticed in the opening scene when the toast pops out that it was pretty much all black with almost no brown to be seen. The scene where Doc demonstrates the time machine was synchronized to pyrotechnics that fired in the front of the auditorium when the flame streaks appeared. That alone was probably worth the ticket price.

Suddenly during the reel change before Marty goes to school in 1955 for the first time the movie cuts to the last reel where Doc and Marty are getting ready to drive the Delorean 88 in the storm and the movie is upside down and playing backwards. The crowd got a kick out of it and laughed it off but a few of us knew the projectionist was in a very dark place. We knew there was no way that reel change was getting fixed any time soon and feared the worst. 10 minutes passed and the Blu Ray comes on. The projectionist managed to save the day... the color change was definitely noticeable but I must say that on a screen that size the BD still looked great! I jokingly told my friends that they could've played the old VHS and it still would've been good. BTTF is a perfect movie that doesn't suffer to any format.

Anyways it was a great night after all and I'm glad I got to see at least half the film in 35mm even though that was a bummer. Up next I'll be seeing Jaws 40th anniversary in the water during a special inflatable screen showing followed by Conan later this month.

edit: when the film ended there was no "To be continued" scene before the credits... the Deloran flew at the audience and cut immediately to credits but it was not the 35mm print playing because of the mishap that occurred an hour in to the film. To my understanding the Blurays have the TBC credit don't they? How did that not show up?

 There was no to be continued original because 2 and 3 came out 1989 and 1990 respectively
