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.

Um-hm.
Was it just me, or did that movie seem disjointed (and cut-off) as hell?  

I mean, truly awesome visuals, especially that street parade left me
astounded, frankly- We're a long way from "Kimba the White Lion", let
me tell you.
But then again, I was watching it on a seat-screen while crossing the
Atlantic, so my experience was probably sub-optimal.

/is still waiting for his library to get the obscure books referenced
in the movie.
