HE to knowledgable friendo: “This Eyes Wide Shut argument has been nothing if not a surreal experience. On one side, Larry Smith, Lee Kline and their allies have been saying ‘this film wasn’t properly color-timed in ‘99, and now we’ve finally saved the day.’ On the other side the rational, non-fanatical contingent with an unfortunate tendency to trust their lying eyes (i.e., people like me) have been saying ‘what the hell have these teal vandals done?'”
“All I know is that when I saw Lee ‘teal maestro’ Kline listed as one of two mastering supervisors, I experienced an inner ‘aha!'”
Do readers understand that Smith and Kline are reprehensible monsters? They don’t like subdued grays — they prefer flaming greens.
Journalist: “Are you comfortable, President Trump or Mayor-Elect Mamdani, with the teal-saturating of Criterion’s Bluray of Eyes Wide Shut?”
