I think they look absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to get my hands on this set. Unfortunately the UK Limited Edition is still a month away.
I totally agree... I almost always prefer old school effects over modern CGI. A mix of the two can work very well though... Wasn't the model of the submarine from 'Das Boot' also used for 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark'? I think I remember Spielberg mentioning it in a documentary somewhere.
Thank you for clearing this up, mr. Harris... I watched it last night and didn't see that much wrong with it, picture wise... (Not that I am an expert or anything, but I have seen my share of bad discs). To my eyes 'Animal House' looks similar to the other John Landis releases on Blu-ray...
