You guys just don't get it. The picture is still not preserved. A 4K scan is not preservation. Nor is a color session a restoration.ask yourself, where does it live after it's finished? The negative needs an Estar Fine Grain. One day they are going to make a crystal ray or something that doesn't...
Hi,
I just listened to the Miramax DVD. No screaming. And yes, the Walter Shenson card was added for this release. The UA card is back in the FGM, but Criterion didn't keep it.

The UA logo thing is very strange. I made a point of reinserting it back into the Fine Grain. Also, the aspect ratio is 1:66. If you screen it at 1:37 you'll see empty seats at the top in the R 10.
