It doesn't get much worse for a Louisiana governor in Baton Rouge than to have 86% of the subscribers of a respected business publication say they view you as an enemy of LSU. It's an unscientific survey, of course, but wowza.

Remastering can be a great thing (the glow up with, for example, WITHNAIL AND I remaster that I recently watched is a night and day difference) but it needs to be done with care. It's not just about scanning and changing the lighting/perspective.
