Makes it easier when my computer is hooked up to my 65" TV as a monitor. 2001 was okay, but I actually enjoyed watching Raiders a lot in B&W.

Definitely not blu quality, but it wasn't bad either. I tolerated it for the most part. Yeah, it is a bit weird to pick 2 classic movies and say "You know, how about this instead." One thing is for sure, the Kubrick version is the supreme one. He didn't prove anything by cutting out a few parts. The Raiders experiment was surprisingly better than I expected. I see no reason for it, but I liked watching it. But I doubt I ever will again, nor did it open my eyes and have me telling myself to reexamine other movies this way.

That's true, but there's still something weird about the whole thing as a concept. I'll have to read his notes in detail to see what he's going for.
