Here’s the GOOD news, though. Vincent Pereira says, “Criterion sent us a check tape (in 16:9) showing some examples of the “digital restoration” work they did on AMY – if you have the laserdisc, you know there are some odd bits of negative dirt, white blotches, etc., on the film – some of these are kinda distracting, and they were on the negative so ALL prints had them. Well, Criterion went through the ENTIRE film and digitally removed some 500 small (and some not so small) picture imperfections. The check tape they sent us had like 10 examples, and it was pretty fucking stunning to say the least.” Wow. This is certainly one to buy folks! As if you weren’t gonna already!!!

Hopefully, we’ll have a check disc from Criterion or an early review of this thing so we can let you know how the new transfer (and other goodies) look.

Again, sorry for the mixup on the story, hope we didn’t cause too much anxiety.
