At the time, I think they did say that and I had to point out to them that the fellows who did the DVD used a dye transfer reference print stored at WB as their guide. So, oops.
Of course, none of that was clear in your post. Read it, you'll see. I'm anxious to see this new thing - not compare caps. I presume we'll all have it shortly.
I'll be happy to read your opinion when you've, you know, seen the disc. But I guess we know what it is, since you think compressed YouTube videos represent what a 4K transfer might look like :) And you actually admit you haven't seen the "horrible colors" on your own set.
As most here know, I was never outraged with what people call the bathed in urine Blu-ray. Why? Because on my TV it didn't look that way - plenty of blue and green and red and brown. And I think at least 60% of the people who complained about the yellow hadn't and haven't seen the transfer -...
Except in all the Dollars films that's exactly what the skin tones are - that's what the make-up was and that was the look. Clearly you have never seen any of these projected in theaters. And if you don't know if that's from the 2021 release, well, was there another 4K release? I don't think so...
Kino has no interest - what a laugh that is. They had no interest in Flower Drum Song - absolutely not a whiff of interest. And now they're releasing it, with nary a word about what changed their mind. Thus, Kino.
And with a carbon arc light source. People keep telling everyone that they saw an IB print at the Beverly - well, they may have but it was projected with a Xenon bulb which is not what the print was timed for, therefore it didn't look like it should.
