iirc the Sony DVD release has both cuts of the movie

You’re correct, Sony released a duo DVD in 2009, which featured Nickelodeon (both cuts), with The Last Picture Show, but;
· I’m unable to source the DVD version.
· The reviews have said that the sound and video for Nickelodeon, especially the Director’s Cut, fades and isn’t very good, especially being a late 00s DVD.

I’m wondering whether the version shown on TCM during the Celebration, of which someone has an aesthetic heavy VHS recording of, is actually the same print that is used for that DVD release, or whether it’s a better quality version.

I’m absolutely understanding that it’s not one of his most famous, or best works, despite how much I love it. But I truly wish there was a HD, even 1080p, of the Director’s Cut somewhere, or the likes of Criterion would’ve done it.
