Isn't that backwards? I was under the impression that carbon arc gave off a blue white light (which is why many prints that would have been timed for carbon arc appear yellowish to modern eyes) while xenon bulbs give off a flatter white light?Latest explanation as per The Digital Bits:
[Editor’s Update 9/29/22: Interestingly, I found this comment on Facebook from former ILM animator, VFX supervisor and film producer Peter Kuran, responding to Paramount’s statement: “The reason it would be blue would be theatrical IB tech prints are balanced for a carbon arc light source which is very yellow. Better to use a 16mm IB Tech print which is balanced for 3200-3500 more normal.” That seems a reasonable conclusion to me. –BH]
Solution when u feeling blue play the one when ya feel a need for red play the other - and Paramount gets more revenue from everyone!Isn't that backwards?

If carbon arc light was "very yellow" (which it isn't), it would turn a blue planet green. Maybe we'll get that in a future release.Latest explanation as per The Digital Bits:

This all becomes a bit of a slippery slope. Lamp source. Condition of reflector. Optics. Color of screen,,,If carbon arc light was "very yellow" (which it isn't), it would turn a blue planet green. Maybe we'll get that in a future release.
Fortunately, all discs are gluten free!I am a gluten for punishment. I am not showing the laserdisc editions I have too. I’ll be interested in what this new 4K looks like in addition to When Worlds Collide.

Ha, ha! I’m showing two versions of War of the Worlds on DVD in that photo. But for some reason, I am pretty sure I have a third copy in a flipper case.We all are when it comes to this hobby.

The only difference with my collection is lack of the new Paramount double-feature and the laserdisc - I never bought into that format as it was expensive and looked clunky.I am a gluten for punishment.
