And the Variety ad idea was not intended as some call to arms or expression of outrage, but just a means to help Disney realize that we're out there.
Garrett, I understand your qualms with my idea. I did mention that it was "utterly insane." I did mention that it was "wishful thinking." I've called it a "pipe dream" to Patrick and others. It's just what I said: an "ideal scenario." I know it's unlikely to happen; it's just less unlikely to happen than before this whole Recobbled Cut thing.
I know I'm in over my head with my ideas. It's just something to shoot for. Something to aim at. I always assumed the ultimate outcome of this whole thing would be Disney eventually completing the film as Williams intended before it was taken away from him. It'd be nice for Williams to be alive to see a final version, and be proud of it.
I agree with Garrett about "you have to crawl before you can walk." People with grand schemes need people to pull everything back down to earth. And vice versa.
