Very respectfully said, and I totally agree.
I admit that the first time I saw the 2008 edition, the excessive grain really did stand out (and I'm very used to seeing grain). But after a few minutes watching
Predator (a movie I'd seen probably over a dozen times in various formats), I really didn't care anymore about the excessive grain. The memorable characters and relentless action took over and the grain became a non-factor. In fact, even now (after viewing the 2008 edition 3 or 4 times) the only time I'm really aware of the excessive grain is when the FOX logo is show (and I think to myself "how in god's name can a corporate logo look any
worse 
). After that, I just settle into the flow of the movie and let the action drive my mind.
It's been
officially stated that
Back to the Future will have its grain preserved, so I don't think this UHE is some kind of portend for up-coming BD blockbuster movies. In my opinion it's just a corporate decision that was made, right or wrong, to sell more BD copies. That's all.
Everyone, just enjoy the release you like. Please.
