Dark, dark tent scenes
Jeff Wrangler:
I found both tent scenes disappointingly dark, watching in a dark room at night. Actually, all of the "Wyoming interiors" seemed darker to me (e.g., Joe Aguirre's trailer office), but, on the other hand, the "Texas interiors" (Jack and Lureen's place at Thanksgiving) seemed about as I remembered them from the theater. I've been assuming there is nothing wrong with the DVD, just an artifact of the picture being shrunk down to the small screen.

Well... the two tent scenes on my DVD seem a lot brighter than what I saw in the theaters. I can see a lot more stuffs. I am very pleasantly surprised with that. So I guess it depends on the DVDs.

Experienced the same trouble. My solution was to go into the preferences of the DVD player in my computer and adjust the video color (which allows me to brighten or darken the screen), giving me lots of leeway.
Off topic - Dennis Quaid just said on The Today Show that he voted for Bush in 2004. No wonder he made the snide BBM comments.

All THREE of my DVDs are hopeless, as far as the first tent scene is concerned, and all have been played on the best equipment in the world (my friend's not mine). You can imagine what my friend thought "chickenshit" was the operative word! WHERE CAN I GET A GOOD ONE--I know they exist, and that some people see things they never saw in the theater...not me. It's all becoming a memory. Two are from amazon.com. and one from Barnes and Noble. One has the oSCAR thing on it, and two do not. All the are from Focus. Two say "heche in Mexico" on the outer cellephane..no amojnt of messing with brightless, lightness, contrast, etc--improved them--the black would get muddy,. and in the daylight scenes, the faces would look washed out. I KNOW some people have great DVDs, and see things they never saw in the theater...
WHYERE CAN I GET A GOOD ONE? ANYONE HAVE AN EXTRA GOOD ONE TO SELL? It's all becoming a moemory./ These photos are from the Oscar promo book...all I get to see is Jack'sd shirt when he takes his jacket off...

Right when the DVD first came out a lot of people seemed to be having this problem with it being too dark. When I got mine I got scared and watched the first tent scene, figuring that would be the ultimate test, and it was significantly brighter than it was in the theatre. Sadly, I haven't had time to watch much more of my DVD than that (serious withdrawl here). I got mine from Target and it has the silver border, but I don't understand why that would make a difference.
