Ed,
I was not saying you have to buy a bad transfer. But if you don't it would be nice to let studios know you don't buy because they are bad transfers not because you do not like the movie. Or do you dispute the fact that most HD player owners will indeed not buy an older title because they don't like it as a movie ?
Regarding giving them my money: I live in Germany and many of the older movies are not yet released here so I have to give them my money even for watching those movies once. Of course I can sell them afterwards and let for example Universal know that Spartacus looks really crappy and that I was embarassed to own such a bad HD representation of a great movie
The older 35mm stuff I have seen from Warner looks very nice and I have to say that both Blazing Saddles and Bullitt were two very pleasant first viewings on HDM which others might have considered average or even below standard and right now I look forward to watching The Getaway and Deliverance which I have already sampled and they both seem to look very good, too.
