I think that the Kwai transfer holds up very well. I can't believe anyone would say "it sucks".
Anyway, will Lawrence: Superbit have 'new' transfer with all the nessicary corrections made? Or is this just wishful thinking?

The only indication either way thus far is a cryptic comment from Mr. Harris earlier in the thread. Given that he usually tends not to make gratutitous cryptic comments of that sort, one is inclined to think that the forthcoming disc will be corrected, presumably based upon the 70mm prints that Mr. Harris helped color correct and which played around the U.S. last year.

That would be correct thinking!

I think the transfer of Bridge on the River Kwai (on the two disc edition, anyway) is quite good all things considered.

To Bill Burns:
If you go to this site for Pacific Title:
http://www.pactitle.com/pages/home/index.html
then click on Credits and look under Preservation/Mastering, you'll see RYAN'S DAUGHTER right at the top of the list. It's been there for a long time, though. I e-mailed Pacific Title and asked if the movie was being released soon, and I got a reply saying that decision was completely up to Warner Bros. But at least there's hope for it.
RYAN'S DAUGHTER is one of the most underrated movies ever. Imagine how great it's going to look and sound when it finally makes it to DVD.

If anyone involved in the Superbit of LOA is reading this: please, please, no edge enhancement!
The first time I learned what EE was, it was from a screencap of LOA. Now that I have a projector, I don't need to try to look for it -- it's everywhere I look on LOA.  |

Alas, we're talking about Columbia, so excessive edge enhancement (EEE!) is virtually guaranteed.

Mr. Harris, if your skills are being indeed being utilized for the new LOA Superbit, please pass along our thanks to the top brass at Columbia! They have heard our voices and responded, and for that, I am very happy. My pre-order is in.
