Darnit, I meant to attend the Tuesday night chat and I forgot about it.  :(

 I've sat in on a chat, and look forward to more. They are actually about as uncensored as you get. Lots of people asking pointed questions, some people trying to call Mike out, but he holds his own, and doesn't kick anyone out or go off on some rant when someone doesn't agree. Yeah, maybe some of the things discussed are not made public, but it is what it is. I know you like a trainwreck, but you don't have to throw the rail switch.

I was at Mike's most recent chat on May 25 (my first), and it was definitely worth it.  Without being able to discuss what was said, I'll just mention that I learned a few things that gave me even more enthusiasm and appreciation for what he's doing than I'd already had, and I can say that all aspects of the movie are being preserved and restored in the highest possibly quality.  Mike is doing great work, and for my part I'm definitely looking forward to chatting with him again at some point, as well as hearing more about his progress.  Just knowing the movie is having that level of attention and care paid to it gives me a lot of hope, even with the unfortunate reality of circumstances being what they are.

In the top right hand corner of the screen there is a link to your private messages. This changes to "x unread private messages" if you have new messages in your inbox. There is also a setting in the forum preferences to be notified by email when you have a new message.

 

You do not need to notify someone in a forum thread.

To be fair, some people only come to the forum when a thread they are subscribed to is bumped, and it's reasonable to think that he's subscribed to this thread.

I don't get why this is so funny?

I don't get why you put a question mark at the end of that sentence, unless you are asking if you don't get why it's funny.  To which I would reply, "yes."

Thank you, DE. Nice to see someone gets it.

Sigh.  Like -1 said, it has nothing to do with censorship.  I'm simply respecting his wishes in not publicly discussing the more open communication his chats are able to have about a subject that, due to the unfortunate reality of things, is in a legally very grey area indeed.

I think some people here have a misplaced sense of entitlement when it comes to these movies, forgetting that for all the unquestionable moral imperative of preservation, no one but LFL actually has any legal right to them whatsoever.  Believe me, I wish that were otherwise as much as anyone, but it isn't.  So when talking about making a film restoration from the kind of materials that Mike has access to, there is no way most of that can be mentioned openly in a public forum.

Of course, those who would rather sit around making cracks and being needlessly spiteful about it all are welcome to it, but don't expect me to sympathize when the target of such 'humour' is doing amazing and necessary work that is probably the best hope this beloved film ever has of being saved from the madness of its owner.

Of course it isn't censorship. I just found it funny.

Some of you take this all too seriously.

Nice dig at Fink wonder what his comeback will be.

Sorry, I've been censored.*

Is there any chance you could have one of those chats a bit earlier sometime? I've wanted to join the chats every time, but at 7pm PST it's 4am here in sweden. I'll still try to join this time though, if I can stay up that late... haha
