Sorry to bump this aging thread, but I just got my copy of this movie for the holidays, and I can confirm without a doubt that there is "line noise" (best way to describe it) present on the video transfer of this film. This looks like something that occured at the mastering level to me. I am getting "right tilted" vertical bars moving through the picture on the darkest scenes. The bars are ever so lighter in color. The bars do not enter the letterbox area of the picture and only reside on the print itself. If you pause the film, the bars pause as well. I tried it on 3 completely different setups in my house... A 57" JVC Projection TV with Samsung DVD Player, a 30" 16:9 Sony Widescreen TV with Sony DVD Player, and a bog standard 19" Panasonic TV with Xbox DVD Player. In all 3 instances, the line noise, or whatever it is, was plainly visible. I have my 57" JVC TV calibrated with Avia, and all my other discs look perfect. This is not laser rot... it has the appearance of interference or a bad cable... but it is on the DVD... not from my stuff. Dunno if there was a "bad batch" or what. Just adding my two cents.
