can't i be both? :*(
but yeah, i wasn't actually disagreeing with you b00bie; like you say, if they label one one way and another just like it another way, it's inconsistant. but it's also true that whether something is a tc or screener, or the rules for how a tc should be handled by the scene, are themselves vague and inconsistant. really, a good TC can be far superior to a normal, blockbuster-type screener; but nevertheless, a screener can follow a tc, which in that case wouldn't make sense. so if a group has a tc that looks excellent, as good or better than a screener, they'll naturally label it a screener, because of the 'heirarchy of quality" that the scene assumes. i've maintained for some time now that we need a rethinking of that whole heirarchy, since we now have dvdscreeners, svcd ts's, etc etc (tho i don't claim to know exactly how it should be reworked to solve this type of problem).
that's why i don't really agree with you when you said something to the effect that the only proper answer to 'why are the two different' is either "i don't know" or "one is mislabelled". i.e., if a flick falls into more than one category, and there aren't any scene standards to dictate which a release should be labelled as, then it's hard to blame the group for labelling it one thing one time, and another, another. i mean, if the release is a telecine screener (and yes, such a thing does exist), then it's not really 'mislabelled' whichever you call it.
*shrug* seems that way to me, anyway.
