wouldn't be surprised in the least if you still didn't even own/see the new transfer

^ Real Halloween fans know that inferior packaging = inferior transfer. No need to actually see it.

Re: Halloween 35th Anniversary BD

Is the remaster what the film originally looked like? I honestly thought the colors looked fine in the previous BD but if this is what it should look like well that's what I want.

You'd have to ask JC or Dean Cundey and this one was personally supervised by Cundey, so....

I don't think Cundey supervised the 2007 version and I don't remember who supervised the DVD special editions.

That's what I'm reading. Guess I need to get this one.

I wonder if it'll rock my boat in terms of what I thought it was supposed to look like.

Silly me not wanting packaging that will ruin the disc, making it unwatchable. You'd think I was interested in watching the movie over and over or something....strange. Oh, and it's unthinkable to want to see more detail and a more lifelike picture. I'm weird like that.

That's what I'm waiting to hear about. I don't want to order it and get the digibook that will damage the disc. Either that or find it in the stores, which I haven't seen yet.

Yep. Between arguing with Supermallet about his contradictory statements regarding Criterions and now this I'm thoroughly convinced he's a troll...and not a very consistent one.

To keep this thread about the new Halloween BD, please stop responding and quoting him. It's annoying as hell. I'd rather hear thoughts about the new BD than this nonsense.

Supermallet was being really contradictory, wasn't he ? Also, making up things about me that I never said.

Re: Halloween 35th Anniversary BD

The new transfer seems a lot darker than the first one. The original blu-ray seems a bit more realistic and detailed.

Realistic? It's too bright and sunny for a story that takes place in the Fall, in the Mid-West.
The new transfer more realistically represents the feel of 'Halloween' ... imo

Re: Halloween 35th Anniversary BD

I haven't had time to watch the new Blu-ray, but I'm keeping this one and the old one, so whichever transfer is better will be the one I watch. However, I'm quite excited for the new commentary on this version.

Also, I put Spottedfeather on ignore. Sorry for allowing his drivel to derail the thread.

Now you're just trolling.

Don't buy the fucking thing then.

I never troll. It's not my fault that your position is so shaky that you can't handle people with a different view....

When I said realistic, I meant it. I live in the midwest and have only see it that dark out when there was going to be a storm. But most of time, it's not that dark and downcast.

And you know this was shot in Southern California, right?

Re: Halloween 35th Anniversary BD

Halloween isn't a documentary. How close it looks to real life is irrelevant to the quality of the transfer. What matters is how closely the transfer reflects the artistic vision of the filmmakers.

Of course, and since Cundey was brought on board to supervise this release - it's a clean cut case of this being the final say on the matter. The fact that it also looks like fall as opposed to the summer it was shot in is just icing on the celluloid cake.
