I'll wager that wrongfully and intentionally attempting to sway the general public's idea of something is not a good principle. And furthermore, the thing that most of us want is accessible right here on this website. I've been enjoying the OUT for some time now, in versions that indicate they were created with a lot of love and care. The obsession with getting a single man to do what more creative men are doing already (and better) is silly.

You're kidding, right? "Wrongfully" suggesting that the owner of a classic film properly preserve it?

And regardless of our efforts, a proper preservation/restoration from original elements would do considerably better justice to the film than anything we can do or have done. Harmy's wonderful efforts notwithstanding, I'm sure he'd agree.

Yeah, especially since that was in response to my post, I find the words "wrongfully" and "intentionally" to be really odd. Who attempts to unintentionally sway the general public's idea of something? And what's "wrong" with doing so? Or is it wrong simply because it's something you disagree with? How is it not wrong to intentionally sway the general public to believe that it's good?

And I really have nothing more to add to the outrageous belief that the fan preservations are an adequate replacement for a real release of the real movies. Harmy, doubleofive, and Puggo have already summed it up very well.
