I'm blaming all this kerfuffle on Michael Caine's bloody big head. :P

This bit put's it in context: Based on the info at the time, he's not wrong, and wasn't wrong. Hell, it's unclear if De Palma want's it un-squished, so Mr. Harris might still be right and we're now getting a non-Director approved blu-ray.

I believe he said we should wait to hear from Criterion and the Director, which is more level headed than wrong.

Oh, so the directors word IS god! Where's that bridge again? :P nice to see Criterion is fixing this.

Which bridge? :P

Oops, never mind, I re-read Criterions statement and it looks like he approved the optical. too many work interruptions.

I'm not surprised, my "Fat Head" joke comes from some of the posted screen caps where they look fat compared to some of the "squished" ones that looked more "normal". Some worse than others, there seems to be more inconsistency than just a flat squishing at 20 minutes in. Or that maybe the...

It was, thanks Neil.

Exactly, there's nothing for you to "buy". De Palma requested a correction, Criterion followed through with his wishes and found that it didn't work as they intended, and now there is a replacement as the fat heads is a better choice.

totally makes sense, some of the screen caps on the previous releases do look like fat heads.

My guess is a mistake happened after DePalma approved the transfer and a check disc was made. I doubt Criterion will ignore it, I believe they have been pretty good about this stuff in the past.

Aside from the presumed stretching, I think the Criterion looks pretty good. I'll wait for some HTF reviews before writing this one off.
