I just think it's ludicrous this far along in the format that a studio will release an interlaced disc when the source was not. If that was all that's available fair enough (e.g. old film with only an interlaced master in existence) but in the case of a new release (from THE SAME studio as the US release no less) there is absolutely no excuse. Add on the PAL speedup issue and it's just flat out unacceptable on a new release.
This is them trying to pass off something prepared for broadcast as being acceptable for release on Blu-ray. Not on.
Ever since Sony and Universal joined up they've been doing "a Roadshow".
