I hope you aren't under the impression that the Artists have any misgivings about all of this.

Really...When was the last time, anyone has heard a film director "upset", publically, about this type of alternation...or any type of "reforming" of their film(s), say for Tv, or any type of viewing media ?

I was thinking about this as I was watching a film on AMC recently, and noticing the nasally, shrill voices, of a bad time compression transfer. This is a fact of viewing life, especially when watching this recycled garbage that's broadcast on TBS/TNT...continuously, sometimes three times, in consecutive broadcasts of the same film!!!

They want to make The Deal, period.

What it comes down to, is when it's them "selling out", you hardly hear a discouraging word...and it's not selling out, but making The Deal.

It makes me wonder, why Fans should be so concerned then, about things like these ? I'm sure these filmmakers are getting a good laugh...in their Rangerover...to the bank.
