Neither does mine. Changing the tv setting takes about 2 seconds, but I do take your point and it's not something I'd be happy to do all the time.

Decided to finally settle down and watch the whole film. Some scenes look pretty good and some (to my eye) look pretty bad. If it wasn't for this strange 'grain like' image in a lot of the scenes, it would all look pretty good. I'm still perplexed as to what it is. It doesn't look like film grain at all. Darker scenes are much better looking overall. It is really strange that this phenomenon has only really affected a few of the Italian Arrow releases. Just look at titles like Vamp, The Funhouse and Obsession, which all look amazing on blu-ray.

Which is now increasingly making things look the italian films are suffering from poor masters outwith the control of Arrow.

I noticed similarly, that a lot of blu-undergrounds american titles are much better looking....


I've never been one for the conspiracy theories but somethings going on over in the land of pasta..

I doubt it, as they're not buying it as such, more like 'using it for an agreed amount of time'. Although it would be nice to know the details, can't ask Arrow to divulge how they do business. Copyright, tho important can be a right pain in the arse.(maybe they had to buy the grain as well)

Well, that would have driven up the price for this release quite significantly.
But imagine Arrow buying the rights for BU's Django - one day later they'd be filing for bankruptcy.

HA HA HA, maybe that's what drove the price of food up, wheat might be more valuable than film. Arrow might have made a wise investment
