Poita, I think the donation thing is actually a very good way to tell who cares enough, but I also want to point out the other side of that. I actually want to donate to this, as I grew up watching the theatrical version on VHS, but I’m that outlier case that maybe can’t donate to something I really want to see happen. I’m a highschool senior currently without a job. I have no income and no money whatsoever. I donated ten bucks to the THX scan out of my Mom’s pocket, haha. I could do that for this as well, but that’s only going to happen if she’s feeling generous enough.
I just wanted to say that there is genuine interest even from those who don’t have the money to donate. I actually think this film is terrible, but I still enjoy watching the version that I grew up watching every single day on my CRT television, and having the complete widescreen theatrical cut from 35mm would probably be the most enjoyable way to rewatch it now. I also want to respect you and your time and money input, so of course there are more important films to get to, but I thought I should voice my interest in this. I’ll see what I can do about donating a bit.
