I have since it came out the Warner B. Blu-Ray... but the perspective of a x4 scan (generally they are tremendous : The Graduate, Straw Dogs, Dressed To Kill or All That Jazz) and 1:66 ratio... I almost had an heart attack...
Now,

Eyes Wide Shut in 1:33 ratio (and they can do if they want like the "On The Waterfront" box set) for geometrical restoration pleasure and more Nicole Kidman... (remember the opening scene...)
and Domino...

(I mean Vinessa Shaw...)
Fetishizing 1.33:1 AND Vinessa Shaw in a single post? Ladies & gentlemen, Jeffrey Wells in the house!
oh it's even worse and for me it's beyond redemption since decades : "The Lure" - I prefer "Gold" (aka the brunette) who looks like Mia Kirshner in Exotica rather than "Silver".
Eyes Wide Shut: I would like a complete package like "On The Waterfront"- bonus: I remember having read a very interesting (where it is ?) interview of Mrs. Vinessa Shaw (yes I love "Two Lovers" too - still waiting for her "surprise" guess at the dinner) about the "kissing scene" with (drum-roll) Tom Cruise : and she talked about 100 takes or something like this.
I want all the takes.
OK, we are a decade (or two) before the Tom Cruise maximum hype- but imagine the power of 100 takes of Tom Cruise and Vinessa Shaw kissing each others- it will break my heart, that's sure, perhaps I'll become bisexual in the end -I don't know. But what would be interesting was the "approach" and discussion
before the kiss voila voila why such bonus footage would be absolutely priceless.
By the way, I've rewatched the Warner B. Blu-Ray of "Barry Lyndon" and really in terms of grain and definition a X4 can be absolutely gorgeous if it's well done...
The second part with Marisa Berenson just kills me. Music, lighting... Absolutely mesmerizing... (the first part is
almost similar to Woody Allen "Love and Death") - I can't get tired of all the parts with lord Bullingdon (Leon Vitali is amazing - and who could "resolve" is oedipe complex when your mother is Marisa Berenson ?)... Somehow some scenes reminds me Fanny "And Alexandre"...
