Back in June, I wrote the first installment of my column at Ain't It Cool News, wherein I lead with an urging to Disney that they should recall the Blu-ray of The Color of Money, one of Scorsese's many great films. A few days earlier, the great Robert A. Harris apparently said the same thing about this disgraceful "25th Anniversary Edition". Harris is one of (if not the) foremost experts on film restoration, having done many of the most high-profile remastering projects in movie history, including no less than Lawrence of Arabia.

This looks like a low-rez DVD screen capture, and I pulled it right from the Blu-ray.

It looks like we've lost on this one, since it would appear that no one cares enough to complain like we did about Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan and other screw-ups in the HD remastering world. I suppose we might see another pass at this release for its 30th Anniversary in...five years.
