GR translation: the peculiar and slow-moving "Emulsion J,"

[alice wellintown]

And therefore your reading makes sense. And I think it the better of the
two. Though the ambiguity in the phrase "slow moving" might also imply that
this product is not selling well. The context supports both readings. They
are talking business, and "cut rate" prices are, in market economies,
caused by high supply and low demand.  And budget is important to the film
maker. However, technic is also quite important. More important? And is
this a "market economy" where're supply and demand determines price? Well,
there are those cut prices, but the cut prices may not be owed to supply
and demand, at least not as Smith or Ricardo described it. The wars, first
the Great War, shifted the market in favor of Hollywood, then the talkies,
then regulated film technic, including film speed and therefore, light. In
Europe the regulations were a bit different but in the US and Europe,
light-speed was controlled. So, these boys here, recall earlier Bob Steele
is mentioned, love this little cowboy, the actor, but who directs him,and
he technic used by these experimenters, this is the important context here,
so the light and speed, the emulsion, the chemistry, the Kartel kontrol of
light.

Yes, all this is re-worked, in a shabby novel, with Hector and Frenesi, but
also,  in AGTD.
