One bone that I have to pick:

In the dialog track:
Normally, there is a tape hiss, along with the ambient sounds and vocals. During the talking, the noise floor plummeted during each word and them came back after each word and in the pauses....and in the parts where there is no dialog....

Anyone else catch this? REALLY disconcerting at the end, and annoying.


I believe this is called "pumping". And, I think, it results when noise reduction is apllied to a taped recording as an afterthought.

Or maybe it is just lame editing?

Anyone more tech savvy than I care to jump in?

Or maybe it it's just that I have gotten used to the "standard" version after having watched it numerous times, and that the added content therefore "did not sit right" with me.

Yeah, I forgot about that part. It did seem unnecessary and uncomfortable.

Great movie and I too saw it when it was in theaters. Great soundtrack as well.
