I'm afraid not. My usage of "BS" is strictly old-schoolDoctorossi said:I think I read that once- isn't that PKD? "Do Digital B's Go Invisible S?"

I knew my correspondence course in cryptanalysis would come in handy, though this wasn't much of a challenge. The word 'school' is a dead giveaway; David Lean was British; therefore Scott is referring to the BSDM (not to be confused with that other acronym): the (old) British School of Digital Manipulation.Scott Calvert said:I'm afraid not.

John, the Lean/Coward box has all the films restored by BFI/Granada, so does that mean that the Blu-ray from ITV is better than the Criterion DVD? And will the Criterion Blu-ray (whenever they get to it) be the same source as the ITV Blu-ray?John Hodson said:It's not the same source as the old Criterion DVD - it's another of the films restored by the BFI and Granada (now ITV) in association with the David Lean Foundation to celebrate his centenary in 2008. Having said that, I'm licking my lips at the prospects - hopefully - of another Lean box from Criterion.
Check out the Beaver's comparison. When / if Criterion get round to it, they'll be using the same restored source, but I'd expect them to improve, however slightly, on it.Mark-P said:John, the Lean/Coward box has all the films restored by BFI/Granada, so does that mean that the Blu-ray from ITV is better than the Criterion DVD?

Darn, I forgot to check the Beav! It's definitely worth importing then.John Hodson said:Check out the Beaver's comparison. When / if Criterion get round to it, they'll be using the same restored source, but I'd expect them to improve, however slightly, on it.
