Same thing with the German release. Other than some softness and artifacts during the title sequence, this Blu looks pretty phenomenal! It must be the oscillation overthruster.
Thanks Worth! Looks like I'm going to have to place an order. BB is one of my favorite films of all time and I and absolutely NO idea it had been released on Blu in Germany. The DVD is pretty atrocious. Looks like an upgrade is in the offing. Too bad the extras are interlaced PAL tho...
Looks like it's actually been available in Germany since last year and is supposedly region-free:

Has no one else noticed this Earth-shattering...
