SON OF A BITCH.  I definitely could've and would've waited for 2006 for Kubrick SE's.  I should've known there would eventually be better versions than these bare-bones DVDs that have been available so far.

Well, you know what they say.  Could've, Would've, Should've.

i'm glad to have waited on All The Presidents Men, Network and Dog Day Afternoon.

Damn. Dog Day Afternoon!?Ah well. It'll be worth it.

Thanks for those links. Especially the main interview, I found it fascinating. I love the fact that even film preservation and restoration has a romantic quality to it - finidng lost treasures you never knew existed and lost prints of Singin' in the Rain etc.

Another reason why I hope film lives on. You can go back and remaster films made over 50 years ago and still achieve greater detail with the higher resolution scanners that are available today and tomorrow. Once HD is captured (presently at a resolution far lower than that of film) it will never be able to be improved upon.
