   This doesn't just afflict movies. Disney went through a phase of DVDs   
   of its animated classics that were "restored to better than their   
   original brilliance". A fair number of fans (or fanatics) of Disney   
   animation complained about how they looked.   
      
   I have two CDs purporting to be the same as the original LP Motion   
   Picture Soundtrack to /Mary Poppins/, both awaiting disposal. I ended   
   up digitizing the LP because the geniuses-in-charge never bothered to   
   listen to the LP, they just read the track list. Don't get me wrong:   
   either CD will do fine for someone who never heard the LP. But they   
   aren't the same.   
      
   And then there's /The Complete Musketeers/, a DVD set of the early   
   70's films, whose makers never bothered to watch the films in any   
   form, and so did not show the scenes shot in daylight to be shown as   
   happening in darkness in darkness. In the theater, the results were so   
   dark that the screen was almost entirely black. On the DVD you can see   
   every single detail. Some of which details do not make any sense when   
   you can see what is going on.   
      
   And so on, and so on. The DVD of /The Taming of the Shrew/ (Burton)   
   omits the line "He who is giddy sees the world turn 'round", making   
   the response appear pointless.    
      
   The reason, of course, is that they are treating the films as   
   /product/, on which no real effort is to be lavished because, after   
   all, "it's just a movie". No sense of pride in their own work at all.   
      
   >"Political Correctness" has these days only added another layer of    
   >stupid changes.  :-\   
      
   Sometimes with interesting results.   
      
   And, anyway, didn't Trump issue an Executive Order about that?   
   --    
   "Here lies the Tuscan poet Aretino,   
   Who evil spoke of everyone but God,   
   Giving as his excuse, 'I never knew him.'"
