This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

More will, if only because the production part is getting cheaper, but 
plenty of films already fail in post, or never make it to post due to 
processing costs. One of the film channels shows a visit to the 
processing lab, where they have a ginormous warehouse with shelves 
crammed full of cans of developed film from movie projects that went 
bankrupt and were never redeemed.
