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.

Alga, Babe, slow down.

Have you checked his asking price lately? Bottom Line: We get Leo (beefed u=
p,
even) and your can kiss any special effects bye-bye.

Imagine BEN HUR without the Chariot race in the third act and you get my
drift.

We wan't this sucker before the cameras come August or we can write off a J=

99 release.

Besides, Leo's on this Indy quirky thing--going integrity on us. Doubt he'll
do it.

By the way--who the hell is Gene Wolfe? Pulper? Pomper? Punner? Gimme the
skinny on his track record, Last thing we need in a pitch is a boardroom fu=

of Glazed eyes.  Believe me, you say "Tolstoy" to Eisner and he goes smiley=
