One of the worst culprits I've seen recently was The Perfume of the Lady in Black which had a thick fuzzy band of noise right theough the middle of the screen which was static against the on-screen movement making it very distracting and I turned the film off without even finishing it!
But it's not actually the fault of Shameless, more the Italian master then?

In a way i was wrong to say be thankful it's out on blu-ray, perhaps i should have said be thankful it's out on disc at all.
