Shit. I bought Thief cuz of the sale. I knew wtf was done to it. Technically speaking, this is a gorgeous image.
Can't grasp why Mann believes EVEN when using the negative as a color reference... That changing color is beneficial to the film.
Fucking great film though. Jesus. It's so goddamn good.

Was thinking I was done until the Demy set hits in a couple weeks, but I've recently become very curious to see Shape Of Things To Come and some of the Cassevettes films- two Criterion packages that I've had zero interest in during past sales, despite the glowing reviews of each.
Looks like I'll be getting some use out of the next round of coupons after all.

Fully agree! Also, I think you might be referring to a Spielberg interview from a few years ago. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/49921

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I did buy the blu from the BN Criterion sale. I felt the same way about Collateral though. It was one of the best movies I've seen and the ending completely pissed me off. I hope it's not the same way with THIEF.

Obviously a different director, but that's how I feel about another film that Criterion released: The Game. I have no desire to see it again because of the ending.

*sigh*, my copy of Game is still sealed from the last B&N sale. Maybe I should go ahead and watch it.

Let's put it this way: Suppose a studio releases a Blu-ray of Chaplin's The Gold Rush, fully colorized with a plethora different colors and shades in every shot. The studio claims that this is exactly what the movie was supposed to look like when it was released to theaters in 1925.
Fans complain: "There was no color film stock in 1925! All movies were black & white! The most a filmmaker could have done was apply broad, crude tints to some scenes, and there's no evidence that this movie ever had tinting like that."
The studio replies: "How do you know? How do you know? Stupid internet whiners. We're telling you this is what it's supposed to look like, so STFU."
Should we just take the studio at its word that this movie from 1925 was always in color, despite the fact that such a thing is totally impossible?

If Charlie Chaplin were to communicate to us from the afterlife and claim that The Gold Rush was always in color, we have evidence that he's wrong and (at best) misremembering.

Do you even know what the phrase "moving the goalposts" means? You are not using it correctly.

If you knew anything about filmmaking, you'd be able to recognize that.

I have laid out a detailed and thoroughly-reasoned case for my side of the debate. The best counter argument you can come up with is: "Nyah nyah, u so stoopid. "
I should know better than to interact with children on the internet.
