Such a shame about the Blu-ray version of the film---I have no idea what the studio was thinking of, putting out a disc with this 'ambience' but it looks like I will wait 'til a more natural-looking version turns up---if ever. Many thanks for your inspiring work on analogue effects, which to me and many others are infinitely more tangible than what we are saddled with nowadays in movie-making.Rabsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798093017719735208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063592677187148799.post-82431578871891004802016-06-03T17:57:09.620+12:002016-06-03T17:57:09.620+12:00Thanks Bob....

Just assure me that you don't spend that vital 3 hours perusing the blog on a bloody cellphone/i-phone/blackberry/whatever other palm sized contraption.
