On a whole, the forum appears much quieter than normal. Guess most people are just recuperating from Thanksgiving/Black Friday.

I think all of what I read lately is misinterpretation of the facts.
"Younger fans who only saw the movie on DVD"
Really? Really, Really?

Well I think the cup is full and there is nothing to add to what Vidjunkie said and to his link.
There is a HUGE difference between a supposedly brighter sitcom-ish DVD with day for night scenes that were badly rendered and the supposedly fixed BD more true to the original intent.
But if you don't want to agree on that, there's nothing I can do for you.

What's on the BD does NOT show (no way baby) more true day for night scenes than what's on the DVD. It's the same bad shit but the other way around.
The 2 are BAAAAD.
It even changes the timeline of the script. No versions (not even the BD) shows true dusk, it's almost darker than at night (on the BD) and brighter than daylight (on the DVD).

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

The new print looks great not perfect mind you and IMHO not bad shit but hey that's me and i suppose this one is always going to be down to a matter of preference.

As for lacking in the brightness department the Samsung D6900 holds it's own on that front.......i will see if i have my measurents stored for brightness (ftl) on this set. But i am sure it was pretty close to the test sample we reviewed.

I think that one of the issues which people find troublesome here is your repeated defense of some aspect of this Blu-ray movie incarnation and the obviously different tone you express on HDTV discussion forum, as compared to that which you display here at Blu-ray.com

In regards to the Samsung, make sure you mention what you’re getting at your current Cell Light setting, rather than jacking that up the maximum possible (20? with this particular TV) and then doing the brightness measurement.

A show-and-tell YouTube video would be even better.

Apparently it was approved by someone, which isn't stated, but not necessarily the DP. What it does say is the DP was consulted but the DP could have had little to no involvement and disapproved of the new color timing and it still could have been "approved" by someone else.

As we now know from someone who posted the DP's response to their question regarding the changes, the DP had little to do with the changes other than some form of phone conversation. He even mentioned he hadn't even seen the changes. Thus it wasn't approved by the DP but by someone else at Sony.

Yup.

Cell light is set at 15.

No way do i differ between the two forums in my attitude on both forums.

Can you please tell me why you are obsessing about the brightness output of the the Samsung.

'Reasonable' as long as the 'assumption' doesn't lead to condemnation.

Good to see you posting on Blu-ray.com.
I wasn't familiar with your handle.

Took me a little while to read that one.

Beware the next time you hear the words "approved", "consulted", etc. tossed around as defenses or advertisements.

It’s not obsessing. I'm interested in it, as I said before, to find out if this TV is as useful as other consumer-grade displays for viewing in environments other than dark ‘man caves’.

Well, you provoked a number of related thoughts...you thought-provoker you.

I've come to approach those words with the same wariness as claims that a previous home video release trumps the original film as some kind of 'benchmark' for how the thing should look.

I see, most Plasmas as you might know are never going to be great in brightly lit rooms, however given a batcave or even some ambient lighting they come into there own in this regard.

PS
I have looked through my readings and none of the peak light output ones are saved, if i get time i will do that for you.

When you think about it, for better or worse, this release of NOTLD 90' will be one of the most limited on the market, period. When this movie eventually gets re-released through someone else there is no way they'll slap this transfer on a mass produced product. Not after the massive level of whining about it, that it's recieved.

It's got to be one of the most controversial blu-ray releases of all time which is funny because it's generally considered a mediocre horror film. If this was a mass produced product it would of been recalled after this kind of complaining. People only care so much because of the high price tag and the fact that it's limited to 3000 copies.

Just please don't use me as an excuse if your wife or significant other complains that you spent too much time on the internet the day you typed up that reply.
