Today's the day. The snow has stopped here in Northern NJ, the sun is out, the roads are plowed. I say it shows up by 3pm today!

I decided to do the unthinkable, and watch one of my very favorite shorts, TIT FOR TAT, in Color. Unless I was imagining things, it sounded as if the audio quality was the "correct" speed as I saw this colorized version. Afterward, I switched over to the same film in black and white, but immediately I could hear the sudden speed-up in L&H's voices... especially having just screened the color one and having it fresh in my mind. But as I re-watched the short in b&w, I found I did sort of get used to the speed thing. On top of that, the visual quality of the black and white version was AWFUL -- tons and tons of thick, white specks all over the picture. I assumed that the color editions would be the same prints as the black and whites, but this is obviously not the case.

Joe Karlosi wrote:No, the colorization itself was nothing to write home about, absolutely not. But the b&w version just seemed so much rattier, print-wise. I realize that turning off the color on a colorized movie does not constitute the true original tones of b&w, but if the sound is more normal and the print is better...
