FYI the commentary on the BD is edited. The Laserdisc commentary is uncut. Some non-PC comments about Keith David were taken out
I'm not sure if the first DVD release is uncut or not

Good to know...
Do you have a time code that points to the differences?
I think I have an older DVD...

Just to confirm, the first Dvd release included the uncensored commentary.

I'd love to get that commentary track, if anyone could rip it.

Honestly it would be worthwhile to compile all the commentaries here for remuxing.

Had a screener BD for Arrow's release of The Thing arrive today
LPCM 2.0 Stereo
DTS-MA 4.1 (70mm mix)
DTS-MA 5.1 (from the previous releases)
Quick skim through and lots of grain. Looks wonderful

Couple of questions, Bigrob (assuming you can't post pics):
1. Does it have mono? I thought that was advertised at one point.
2. Does it have the blue filter of the other BDs (IE is the snow white)?
Hope the 2.0 is the original mix.

Stuart Cohen posted somewhere (blu ray forum I think) that there was indeed a mono mix prepared for the theatrical release (I guess for non-dolby theatres).

To confirmed that: In the past, we have seen a mono track on some 35mm prints of The Thing. Specifically, two different prints that went for or sale. They were both lpps, meaning they were issued in later 82 oppose to most 35mm prints of The Thing that have faded issued earlier in 82.
The assumption is the prints were destined for the second run or drive in market in the US
Blade Runner seems to have a similar release.
