If I were an ambitious television producer hired by a major network to do a hatchet job on the critical community, I would seek out one of those proposing extensive alteration to the Z-film. I would interview him at length and encourage the presentation of lots of examples of what he thinks was done to the film. Then I would cut to a Hollywood optical house, and an interview with a probably retired 40-years-on-the-job optical effects technician and we would carefully and convincingly debunk most of the propositions regarding Z-film alteration.
At the end of that show the critical community's flag would be drooped so low to the ground it would be months just getting it back to half mast.
David H - sorry we have to cross swords here, but there are presumptions in your article which are highly unrealistic.
I don't relish being the messenger on this, but like I said: if I don't do this now then somebody else will do it later, and maybe under less favorable circumstances.
