An Anonymous Patron writes "washingtontimes.com Story about Library of Congress' Moving Image Section. Patrick Loughney head of the Moving Image Section's Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division, says it's an archivist's job to determine which old films require immediate care and which ones can wait a few years before getting a face-lift. He calls it a "a triage center for aging films"
Mr. Loughney estimates that "over half of films made in America are lost or survive in badly degraded form." Luckily, 3/4 of films made in America suck anyways. ;-)"
