LOL!
This one made me laugh out loud, "How to make a Beautiful Zombie", and then they zoomed in on the LVR sign. Oops
I remember how my hopes and dreams just crashed and burned after seeing that...

The only good thing about the BU transfer, was that they cleaned up some of the negative damage in the shark scene.

Wish that Arrow did that as well, on their otherwise superior transfer, since it's a bit distracting.

There have been a number of complaints about the compression on BU's new Stendhal Syndrome bd (limited to 3000 copies). BU have announced that they are investigating it.

My copy has already shipped so I can't cancel it. I'm hoping that any potential disc replacement program would extend to the UK and other non-US countries. There are apparently also 2 short pieces of missing dialogue (and a missing scream) on the English audio but BU seemingly aren't concerned by that.

Here's the Blue Underground facebook post:

"We've received a few emails from customers noting a possible compression problem on THE STENDHAL SYNDROME blu-ray. We are in the process of investigating this issue with the facility that authored the disc. We will post an update as soon as we have further information."

Yeah, and Bill Lustig was a real asshole about it.

"Vincent Pereira is an idiot. Firstly, the source of the STENDHAL 7.1/5.1 remixes were the English and Italian original Dolby Surround 2.0s coupled with the stereo M&E. This clown made the same comment years ago for the Anchor Bay SUSPIRIA. FACT, these films predate digital sound mixing. Each language is mixed separately so no 2 mixes of the same film are identical. I personally supervised the 2 remixes and can assure that we did not remove ANY dialogue present on both language tracks. Now, it is possible there's dialogue in the Italian not used in the English or vice versa. Regarding Vincent's "compression issue", I have no idea what he is looking at. I have seen the blu-ray numerous times and have not seen any compression problems nor have any reviewers including Robert Harris. Vincent is an arrogant fanboy who watches movies like the Kennedy Zepruder film - what a waste of time.

William Lustig "

Lustig went into full "Bill Olsen" mode.

People have asked about the missing dialogue on the new disc, but BU are just deleting them all, instead of giving them an answer.

Bill Lustig and Bill Olsen should team up...

I think i'll wait until Arrow hopefully put this out.
Although it has a great soundtrack and is one of Argento's better post Opera films, it's still not a great film.
I never tire of watching Suspiria, Bird, Inferno, etc, but Stendahl is a bit of a chore to watch on a regular basis.

GOOD ON YOU BILL!

You wouldn't have got that from Olsen.
