Collusion

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.

You're right; I was confusing the two stories in my head.  Wikipedia says:

It has been claimed that the psychedelic "stargate sequence" that concludes the
film, entitled "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite", matches perfectly with the Pink
Floyd song, "Echoes", just as Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is believed to
sychronise well with the movie The Wizard of Oz. [1]
