"Jack, I swear..." on the DVD

LittleGuitar, your avatar looks like the lovechild of Ziggy Stardust & Shirley Manson.

I hate to disagree here but the levels are fine on the DVD and this is likely attributed to a variance in theater sound systems and home sound systems. Transfers of DVDs are hi-def and carefully handled for the most part, and I have noticed nothing aberrant on mine.

Interesting. I've watched my commercial DVD on my brother's Klipsch sound system which a musician friend considers very good, and noticed a difference in the volume of Ennis' last line. I have yet to compare the screener on his system, but I'd not noticed a difference in volume on that one - it seemed to be equal ratio to what the levels were in the theater. I wonder if DVD's in different areas are pressed by different manufacturers who use a different set of standards?

It looks like a contemporary recreation of a cool Bowie shot though. The lighting and film stock look too contemporary to be from the 70s. If it's photoshopped, then someone did a heck of a job.

LOL, it's a classic Mick Rock photograph from '72 or '73. It may feel like ancient history, I guess. He was among the most famous Ziggy-era photographers and his pics of Bowie as Ziggy tend to be very colorful... he's really a wonderful photographer.
OK, I promise to return to topic after this...
::) :D
