After all, a big part of the charm of a film like Phantasm, is what they were able to create given their limitations... so if you go back and cheat, it takes away from the full experience. For me, it's just a minor flaw, but still a flaw I wish they wouldn't implement.John W McKelveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224424721208024907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566408705248423573.post-78743141459569296782018-11-16T10:47:53.955-05:002018-11-16T10:47:53.955-05:00I saw these screen image comparisons from "So...I saw these screen image comparisons from "Something To Tide You Over" where the ghouls lovers are green as opposed to blue, and the comic book swirl behind them is brown as opposed to orange. Now I can't get it outta my head. So I'm sticking with my SS R2 release. I'm not really a "special features" kinda guy, but "Just Desserts" is one of the rare exceptions to that rule. So its just a nice neat package for a guy like me. .... BTW yellow bucket Phantasm?! Huh?! Whaaaa?!?! Should I investigate or just leave well enough alone. ;) ps - your release comparisons are very cool. I must have visited your Coffin Joe page for view-planning at least a half a dozen times.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06297169367982335243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566408705248423573.post-35282670155249195922018-11-16T04:03:36.389-05:002018-11-16T04:03:36.389-05:00Yeah, Gornick talks in some of the new extras abou...Yeah, Gornick talks in some of the new extras about how he used this new 4k transfer to make some changes (particularly adding color to some transitions) that he couldn't do at the original time of filming. That's what I meant by "some of the changes Gornick made that border on the revisionist."<br /><br />Still, overall, I think the improvement in PQ is worth it on the balance. Especially since I don't think the tweaks look bad or anything. They're just inauthentic, like when Coscarelli painted out the yellow bucket in the 4k restoration of Phantasm. I'd prefer it the way it was originally; but I don't think it's too hard to live with. I think changing the sphere effects there were more egregious than anything here.Werner von Wallenrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102856408266833762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566408705248423573.post-13591649888306759442018-11-15T16:41:14.168-05:002018-11-15T16:41:14.168-05:00I noticed some "recoloring" on SF's ...I noticed some "recoloring" on SF's disc in screen grab comparisons I've seen online.
