I'm Going Deep

[edit]

As it turns out, this Rhino editing "rabbit hole" goes deeper than I could have imagined. It's more than unfinished footage, incorrect colors and "5.1" audio. There are poor frame edits, mis-timed audio edits and more subtle and obscure restoration attempts that go awry. I have no choice at my end but to tally all of it, and how and whether to present it in some form for the wiki may be decided in future, with the community's input, of course. For the time being, I just wanted to mention one mistake that was misidentified here: In the MTMTE P1 page, someone pointed out that Norm McCabe's name was displayed as "Nor M McCabe" in the credits, but those were not the original credits. Some may not be aware that the Rhino DVD release actually "restored" the credits using remastered footage and newly created "text overlays" (in Eras Bold ITC font or some equivalent). Since there are credit sequences out there captured from VHS, they were used to confirm that McCabe's name was in fact spelled correctly originally. In turn, I removed the line from the aforementioned page, and clarified the note about the error on the Norm McCabe page. The credits pages on this wiki will likely be tackled next in the cause of accuracy.
