I’m sorry everybody- but I’m refunding everybody who I haven’t sent the scan to yet.

This project has gotten uncomfortably big for me and I am obsessively paranoid about copyright issues, so I don’t want the final scan to become as widespread as I predict it to become.

I have found a large chunk of people in this community to be incredibly rude, disrespectful, and entirely ignorant of how dangerous it is to share these sorts of things on a widespread scale, and I don’t wish to associate with it any longer except for in as private of a context as possible.

The leaks that happened not too long ago have eliminated just about any trust I have for the majority of this community, and therefore I am no longer comfortable sending this film to so many people. This is a big reason as to why I have been stalling ever since the print got scanned- though the busy nature of my personal life certainly hasn’t helped.

Also, I hate to say it- but with where I am in life currently, I do NOT have the mental capacity to deal with this caliber of shit. It has become more stressful than fun at this point. I raised far more money than I ended up needing, so I feel that this is ultimately the right thing to do.

I have already refunded everybody on PayPal (except for a VERY small, as in single-digit, number of people who I trust), something to the tune of $500 total. The full scan will not be sent to anybody who hasn’t received it already, and I don’t recommend DMing me asking if you can donate or get the scan or have your donation back or anything along those lines, because I’m not going to respond. Clips of the scan may be uploaded to YouTube at some point, but only to an extent that doesn’t potentially incur any wrath from a certain large, soulless corporation that happens to own the film and all IPs within it.

My apologies to anybody who is disappointed by this. I started out extremely excited about the prospect of doing this project and sharing it with everybody who helped out- and in the end, I am extremely satisfied with how the scan looks, and I hope to share it in some capacity in the near or distant future. A lot of you were really cool when I messaged you and have been super patient, so I’m sorry that this is the way it has to be. Still, I need to put my real life before my life on the Internet, and this has simply become too much for me, so I’ve finally decided that this is what I must do.

If you’re depressed about all of this, just remember- this movie has DOZENS of releases and rereleases from over the years- all with different visual appearances- and has still remained entirely unchanged in terms of story and dialogue. All of the wittiness, the charm, and the incredible heart that we associate with 90s cinema and classic Pixar is still intact- this movie is KICK ASS no matter how you watch it!

Perhaps a full 35mm scan of this movie (be it mine or somebody else’s) will publicly surface one day- but even if it doesn’t, Toy Story is still one of the greatest animated films of all time. That’s what brought us together in the first place- great movies! 😃

To everybody who offered their support towards this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity- thank you for your passionate interest that you shared with so many other denizens here on the 'net. To my closest homies in this community- GOD BLESS YOU. #norbitrobbinscut 😎

Suffice to say, I am livid. This was the first project I donated to, and will likely be the last. To have us wait for so long and just be given that. You should’ve known better. If you donate and contribute to a scan project, donors should be given the scan, end of. Toy Story is one of my childhood movies, and to see a 35mm copy being hoarded, pisses me off. I don’t know what pisses me off more, the hoarding or the lies. While I did get a refund, it doesn’t make up for the fact that I was cheated and I’m sure everyone else feels cheated too. I may never send money to a scanning project ever again because you scammed me and all of your donors. The phrase “one bad apple, spoils the bunch” most definitely applies here. How can I trust anyone not knowing whether or not they’re just going to hoard it in the end ? While your project may have started with good intentions; the reason why I donated was to help you and so I would get a copy of the movie in 35mm in return. The fact you pull this shit is ridiculous and now comes off as you taking advantage of people that wanted to see a scan of this movie in 35mm. Especially given the alterations the movie has received over the years and hasn’t been theatrically accurate since the Laserdisc era.

The fact you say this :
“If you’re depressed about all of this, just remember- this movie has DOZENS of releases and rereleases from over the years- all with different visual appearances- and has still remained entirely unchanged in terms of story and dialogue. All of the wittiness, the charm, and the incredible heart that we associate with 90s cinema and classic Pixar is still intact- this movie is KICK ASS no matter how you watch it!”

You are pulling a George Lucas by saying “watch the movie as it is right now with all the alterations and that’s the definitive way to watch the movie and the original will be not available unless you buy an OOP DVD of a LD non-anamorphic transfer that has a ton of DNR.”

The right thing to do is give a link to the people who donated so they can download it.

lol.

I’m sorry, but I have to agree with this user on this. Much like everyone else, I’ve waited a long amount of time, and paid a good amount of money to see this scan become a reality… only to find out that I’m never gonna get it at all because it was leaked. I guess one bad apple really does spoil the bunch, doesn’t it? I feel absolutely cheated on this, and I’ve waited patiently for a long time to see it, too. And this is also coming from someone that, while I absolutely love the movie to death, always finds myself unsatisfied with the actual physical media releases of the film for the most part. Sure, the 4K does look close to the 35mm version in terms of the color-grading, but does it have the original Pixar castle at the beginning? Nope, it’s Disney’s realistic CG castle that doesn’t fit the tone of the opening and leaves for an abrupt start with the Pixar logo, Sure, the UTB/10th anniversary DVDs have that castle at the beginning, but does it still have the errors that have plagued the majority of the film’s physical media transfers? Yes, and Janie’s doll body suddenly switching over to Marie Antoinette’s doll body always felt off and bugs the shit out of me. And yeah, the Laserdisc has the film without any of these problems… but it isn’t truly high quality.

I really do understand the mental health issues and the piracy concerns, and sure the community of people may seem toxic, but… a lot of communities can get toxic in general, and I don’t think any of us here in this thread alone were rude or disrespectful towards this guy. I wasn’t disrespectful about how long the scan took. I wasn’t going “where’s the scan?” every five seconds. I remained patient, and I’m sure everyone else was. And plus, isn’t the whole point of this website was to share these things privately or something? How did it get leaked in the first place? Nonetheless, I am both pissed and disappointed that I won’t be getting a scan with the $30 I spent for it, because it really does feel like a waste of money. I hope that one day this scan actually does get sent out, but by this point, I think this will just ultimately result in another thread that will be dead for years to come. 😕

You know had I known that this guy that I was quoting only donated $1 to the project, I probably would’ve said something else here. I should also say this while I’m at it, because while the $30 didn’t end up going to waste after all, I think it kinda felt a little natural for me to get a little heated in that moment there due to the fact that I don’t like getting scammed for my money. That frustration came from a time when I purchased a Lightning McQueen CRT TV for around $50 from Offer Up, only to end up getting no refund and no TV. Almost thought this scenario was gonna happen with this but thankfully it didn’t go that route. And plus, I’m usually understanding of situations like this and not like with what happened to the CRT McQueen TV where they clearly fished me for my money. This whole thing is nothing like that, and I’m glad that Trist was able to refund people of their money.

Bottom line though, I am overall pretty understanding as to why he had to refund 90% of donors. After all, like he said in that post, it is important to put your real life first before your online life. Even if very few people have received this scan so far, I do hope that Trist can find a way to share it with many other trustworthy people one day, because I’m sure that you guys will definitely enjoy this scan as well.

With all of that said though, the person who provided a link that supposedly provided the “scan” was absolutely genius, great way to prevent the mods from easily saying the same info about where to properly DM for links lmao. Don’t remember the movie having that much rickrolling, though.

I’ll respond to some more of you guys when I have the chance. There’s definitely a bit more I’m willing to say now that I’ve had some time to collect more thoughts. 95% of you have been super understanding and I really appreciate that. If I missed any of you in the refunding process somehow, feel free to reach out- and yes, that even includes the $1-$2 people. 😛

Glad to see you’re doing all right.

And? Whether it’s $1 or $100, they’re still helping you fund the project regardless. My donation amount doesn’t suddenly diminish my point that you wasted our time and how you screwed over your donors by not giving us the scan we helped you fund. Also, your attitude towards your lower contributing donors isn’t helping matters either.

How many times does he have to say he’s refunding and having people in the thread say they are getting refunds does it take for you to be happy? If you want your 1 buck back I’m sure Trist will happily refund it to you as he has many of the other people here

Juicy Pep said:

There’s two school of thoughts here.

1. Scans should be public and be shared with the whole world
2. Scans should be private and should be shared with only a small group of donors

Not everyone on this website is in group 2, a lot of people on this website are actually in group 1. So it’s very hard to keep a project funded here private.

The good news is that, NC-17 will give us Toy Story 35mm scan for free 😃

Hey man,

I’m actively hunting it down. Part 2 seems to be a lot more common, but if you’re patient, I’m confident I can track down Part 1. I’m about 90% sure I have a partial print in Russian and another in Italian. One way or another, I’ll make it happen.

That said, I need to be honest about something. I think a big issue surrounding this scan is how Tristan has been treating the people who supported it—especially the Patrons who helped fund it. It’s pretty disheartening to see people being told some supporters are getting copies while others are getting refunds. Then there’s the excuse about being “worried it might leak” and somehow getting hit with copyright claims… I mean, come on—this site made its name off Star Wars scans. It doesn’t get more high-risk than that.

Look, I understand that scanning is expensive and time-consuming. But let’s be real: you didn’t make the film. You didn’t animate it. Your name isn’t creatively tied to Pixar. Having a limited exclusive window for funders? Totally fair. But acting like a scan gives you permanent ownership over a cultural artifact just because you bought the print and paid for a scan—that’s not preservation, that’s gatekeeping.

The more attention film print scans get, the better. Labels are obsessed with negatives. Studios don’t give a damn about film print scans right now. Ironically, what we’re doing might be giving them the best preservation copy they’ll ever see. And you’d be surprised how many filmmakers, producers, and even studios quietly acknowledge that.

To a lot of people, getting a 35mm scan of a beloved film is a huge deal. They wait patiently—sometimes for years—for a chance to see it. So when you tell them that only a select few get access while everyone else gets a refund or silence, it leaves a bad taste. Especially when the people being denied were the same ones defending you when delays piled up.

And about the leaks—you keep pointing fingers, but let’s be honest: the only leaks in the last year have been from my scans. And I’m fine with that. After a 3-month exclusivity period, I open it up for everyone. That’s how I operate. Ironically, I’m often accused of leaking things, but the truth is, it’s usually someone else acting in bad faith. Meanwhile, I keep scanning and pushing forward.

Some people in this community think I’ve ruined it. Maybe that’s what the loudest voices say. But I’ve tried to be transparent every step of the way. I didn’t just buy a basic Cintel or Kinetta—I built my own scanner, from the ground up. It works completely differently from anything out there. And I did that for one reason: to preserve film.

Honestly, it feels like we need a full reset in this scene. If you’re into film preservation just so you can hoard art that isn’t yours, what’s the point? If you’re passionate about cinema, then that passion should be contagious—not buried under layers of secrecy and power trips.

You might not like me. That’s fine. But I hope you respect the work ethic and what I’m trying to do. We don’t have to be best friends—but we should be working together. Because at the end of the day, this is about one thing: the love of cinema. And if we lose sight of that, what are we even doing?

The good news is that, NC-17 will give us Toy Story 35mm scan for free 😃

oh please don’t make me fucking laugh. if it hadn’t leaked you were literally just talking about how you weren’t gonna put die hard 2 out after yapping for months about how it would go out like everything else please stfu about gatekeeping. pls stfu about any and everything actually. if you wanna scan toy story then go scan fucking toy story, stop acting like some kind of authority figure talking down to people who have been doing this for YEARS while you have like a year at best and scans of movies that no one gives a fuck about lol. just mind your own fucking business, stop telling people how they “should” be doing things in “this scene” and letting chatgpt format and correct your little outbursts on forums where people have told you over and over again to JUST STFU. christ.

trying to reference cintel being shit while constantly big upping “your” batman scan that was done on a cintel… lol. dude. stop acting.

Pete, you need a SERIOUS ego check here. I have already fully explained my reasons for doing what I’ve done– stop butting in and trying to take the moral high ground.

You do whatever the heck you want with your prints/scans, but I don’t need (nor do I want) your input on what you think is right or wrong in this situation. Please and thank you.

Let’s set the record straight.

Die Hard 2, Friday the 13th Part 2, Carrie, Batman '89, Wicked Wicked, Bank Robber, Tao of Steve — all of them have been made available on Twitter. For free. And yes, mostly in 4K.

Just yesterday, I dropped Gate II. And next month? Night of the Comet. Every month, I’m putting out a new scan. I even just emailed a fresh 35mm scan of Night of the Ghouls to the entire Scanners Inc mailing list just yesterday. Again — free.

Yet somehow, people keep pushing this narrative that I’m hoarding or gatekeeping. It’s nonsense.

I’ve made countless offers to help people here — for nothing in return. But every time I speak up or make a suggestion that works, I get labeled an “authority” or accused of being a gatekeeper. Why? Because I’m trying to raise the standard?

If I was really in it for clout or cash, I wouldn’t be doing any of this. The people on my Patreon aren’t there for early access to prints — they’re there because they believe in the work I’m doing. If getting something a few months earlier is a perk, fine — but everything ends up free to the public anyway.

I lend prints to cinemas, programmers, and even other scanners — including people on this very platform — and I’ve never once asked for a dime.

So before you paint me as the villain, maybe look at the facts. Every accusation thrown my way has been baseless. Every “gatekeeping” narrative? Fabricated.

Before you make accusations back them up with facts mate. I love how you say before “I leaked” haha…

Years? Mate… some of the first scans that went public were my prints… Again keep creating that false narrative…

I’m sorry everybody- but I’m refunding everybody who I haven’t sent the scan to yet.

This project has gotten uncomfortably big for me and I am obsessively paranoid about copyright issues, so I don’t want the final scan to become as widespread as I predict it to become.

I have found a large chunk of people in this community to be incredibly rude, disrespectful, and entirely ignorant of how dangerous it is to share these sorts of things on a widespread scale, and I don’t wish to associate with it any longer except for in as private of a context as possible.

The leaks that happened not too long ago have eliminated just about any trust I have for the majority of this community, and therefore I am no longer comfortable sending this film to so many people. This is a big reason as to why I have been stalling ever since the print got scanned- though the busy nature of my personal life certainly hasn’t helped.

Also, I hate to say it- but with where I am in life currently, I do NOT have the mental capacity to deal with this caliber of shit. It has become more stressful than fun at this point. I raised far more money than I ended up needing, so I feel that this is ultimately the right thing to do.

I have already refunded everybody on PayPal (except for a VERY small, as in single-digit, number of people who I trust), something to the tune of $500 total. The full scan will not be sent to anybody who hasn’t received it already, and I don’t recommend DMing me asking if you can donate or get the scan or have your donation back or anything along those lines, because I’m not going to respond. Clips of the scan may be uploaded to YouTube at some point, but only to an extent that doesn’t potentially incur any wrath from a certain large, soulless corporation that happens to own the film and all IPs within it.

My apologies to anybody who is disappointed by this. I started out extremely excited about the prospect of doing this project and sharing it with everybody who helped out- and in the end, I am extremely satisfied with how the scan looks, and I hope to share it in some capacity in the near or distant future. A lot of you were really cool when I messaged you and have been super patient, so I’m sorry that this is the way it has to be. Still, I need to put my real life before my life on the Internet, and this has simply become too much for me, so I’ve finally decided that this is what I must do.

If you’re depressed about all of this, just remember- this movie has DOZENS of releases and rereleases from over the years- all with different visual appearances- and has still remained entirely unchanged in terms of story and dialogue. All of the wittiness, the charm, and the incredible heart that we associate with 90s cinema and classic Pixar is still intact- this movie is KICK ASS no matter how you watch it!

Perhaps a full 35mm scan of this movie (be it mine or somebody else’s) will publicly surface one day- but even if it doesn’t, Toy Story is still one of the greatest animated films of all time. That’s what brought us together in the first place- great movies! 😃

To everybody who offered their support towards this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity- thank you for your passionate interest that you shared with so many other denizens here on the 'net. To my closest homies in this community- GOD BLESS YOU. #norbitrobbinscut 😎

Suffice to say, I am livid. This was the first project I donated to, and will likely be the last. To have us wait for so long and just be given that. You should’ve known better. If you donate and contribute to a scan project, donors should be given the scan, end of. Toy Story is one of my childhood movies, and to see a 35mm copy being hoarded, pisses me off. I don’t know what pisses me off more, the hoarding or the lies. While I did get a refund, it doesn’t make up for the fact that I was cheated and I’m sure everyone else feels cheated too. I may never send money to a scanning project ever again because you scammed me and all of your donors. The phrase “one bad apple, spoils the bunch” most definitely applies here. How can I trust anyone not knowing whether or not they’re just going to hoard it in the end ? While your project may have started with good intentions; the reason why I donated was to help you and so I would get a copy of the movie in 35mm in return. The fact you pull this shit is ridiculous and now comes off as you taking advantage of people that wanted to see a scan of this movie in 35mm. Especially given the alterations the movie has received over the years and hasn’t been theatrically accurate since the Laserdisc era.

The fact you say this :
“If you’re depressed about all of this, just remember- this movie has DOZENS of releases and rereleases from over the years- all with different visual appearances- and has still remained entirely unchanged in terms of story and dialogue. All of the wittiness, the charm, and the incredible heart that we associate with 90s cinema and classic Pixar is still intact- this movie is KICK ASS no matter how you watch it!”

You are pulling a George Lucas by saying “watch the movie as it is right now with all the alterations and that’s the definitive way to watch the movie and the original will be not available unless you buy an OOP DVD of a LD non-anamorphic transfer that has a ton of DNR.”

The right thing to do is give a link to the people who donated so they can download it.

~Guy who donated $1

And? Whether it’s $1 or $100, they’re still helping you fund the project regardless. My donation amount doesn’t suddenly diminish my point that you wasted our time and how you screwed over your donors by not giving us the scan we helped you fund. Also, your attitude towards your lower contributing donors isn’t helping matters either.

I wouldn’t be poking fun at you for the amount you donated if you weren’t being so insanely entitled and immature in both your attitude and your response. I understand your disappointment, but if you’re gonna be a jerk about it, then I’m not gonna treat you any differently.

Wasn’t done on a Cintel, bubba…

It was done on a $350K 35mm scanner — top-tier lab. But hey, keep spinning those false narratives, they’re entertaining at least.

For the record, my personal scanner was still being built at the time. But I promised the scan would be delivered within a month, so I paid the best lab in the city to get it done right.

No shortcuts. No excuses.

Here’s the lab I used — facts over fiction

How many times does he have to say he’s refunding and having people in the thread say they are getting refunds does it take for you to be happy? If you want your 1 buck back I’m sure Trist will happily refund it to you as he has many of the other people here

All I want is a copy of the scan I helped fund and that a copy of the scan is given to the other donors. Only then, I will be happy.

Still, I need to put my real life before my life on the Internet, and this has simply become too much for me, so I’ve finally decided that this is what I must do.

If you’re depressed about all of this, just remember- this movie has DOZENS of releases and rereleases from over the years- all with different visual appearances- and has still remained entirely unchanged in terms of story and dialogue. All of the wittiness, the charm, and the incredible heart that we associate with 90s cinema and classic Pixar is still intact- this movie is KICK ASS no matter how you watch it!

Perhaps a full 35mm scan of this movie (be it mine or somebody else’s) will publicly surface one day- but even if it doesn’t, Toy Story is still one of the greatest animated films of all time. That’s what brought us together in the first place- great movies! 😃

To everybody who offered their support towards this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity- thank you for your passionate interest that you shared with so many other denizens here on the 'net. To my closest homies in this community- GOD BLESS YOU. #norbitrobbinscut 😎

Suffice to say, I am livid. This was the first project I donated to, and will likely be the last. To have us wait for so long and just be given that. You should’ve known better. If you donate and contribute to a scan project, donors should be given the scan, end of. Toy Story is one of my childhood movies, and to see a 35mm copy being hoarded, pisses me off. I don’t know what pisses me off more, the hoarding or the lies. While I did get a refund, it doesn’t make up for the fact that I was cheated and I’m sure everyone else feels cheated too. I may never send money to a scanning project ever again because you scammed me and all of your donors. The phrase “one bad apple, spoils the bunch” most definitely applies here. How can I trust anyone not knowing whether or not they’re just going to hoard it in the end ? While your project may have started with good intentions; the reason why I donated was to help you and so I would get a copy of the movie in 35mm in return. The fact you pull this shit is ridiculous and now comes off as you taking advantage of people that wanted to see a scan of this movie in 35mm. Especially given the alterations the movie has received over the years and hasn’t been theatrically accurate since the Laserdisc era.

The fact you say this :
“If you’re depressed about all of this, just remember- this movie has DOZENS of releases and rereleases from over the years- all with different visual appearances- and has still remained entirely unchanged in terms of story and dialogue. All of the wittiness, the charm, and the incredible heart that we associate with 90s cinema and classic Pixar is still intact- this movie is KICK ASS no matter how you watch it!”

You are pulling a George Lucas by saying “watch the movie as it is right now with all the alterations and that’s the definitive way to watch the movie and the original will be not available unless you buy an OOP DVD of a LD non-anamorphic transfer that has a ton of DNR.”

The right thing to do is give a link to the people who donated so they can download it.

~Guy who donated $1

And? Whether it’s $1 or $100, they’re still helping you fund the project regardless. My donation amount doesn’t suddenly diminish my point that you wasted our time and how you screwed over your donors by not giving us the scan we helped you fund. Also, your attitude towards your lower contributing donors isn’t helping matters either.

How many times does he have to say he’s refunding and having people in the thread say they are getting refunds does it take for you to be happy? If you want your 1 buck back I’m sure Trist will happily refund it to you as he has many of the other people here

Venny, you’re being disingenuous. Getting a refund isn’t the only issue here. It’s Tristan crowdfunding more than enough, and over the course of 2 years, communicating with donors that the Toy Story scan is coming.

TristAndShout64 said:

Hey y’all– the final encode is FINALLY finished and I’m currently in the process of slowly but surely getting it out to people. Thank you for bearing with me!

My apologies, I have indeed been quite busy with my personal life being a bit of a mess at the moment. I will be messaging people individually and getting the necessary details to share the scan with them– just hang in there, we are so close!

~Trist

Then the rug pull and Tristan now holds a finished scan not just for himself but for an exclusive, non-transparent group of donors… all while being “obsessively paranoid about copyright issues”? Did this obsession develop recently?

TristAndShout64 said:

…I do NOT have the mental capacity to deal with this caliber of shit.

What is lacking from Tristan and trolls here is some empathy for how this outcome would make an excluded donor feel. Tristan, you realize all donors had to deal with your caliber of shit of dragging your feet on this crowdfund and lack of communication along the way, right? What an embarrassing attitude coming from you and your clique of donors.

There’s two school of thoughts here.

1. Scans should be public and be shared with the whole world
2. Scans should be private and should be shared with only a small group of donors

Not everyone on this website is in group 2, a lot of people on this website are actually in group 1. So it’s very hard to keep a project funded here private.

The good news is that, NC-17 will give us Toy Story 35mm scan for free 😃

Hey man,

I’m actively hunting it down. Part 2 seems to be a lot more common, but if you’re patient, I’m confident I can track down Part 1. I’m about 90% sure I have a partial print in Russian and another in Italian. One way or another, I’ll make it happen.

That said, I need to be honest about something. I think a big issue surrounding this scan is how Tristan has been treating the people who supported it—especially the Patrons who helped fund it. It’s pretty disheartening to see people being told some supporters are getting copies while others are getting refunds. Then there’s the excuse about being “worried it might leak” and somehow getting hit with copyright claims… I mean, come on—this site made its name off Star Wars scans. It doesn’t get more high-risk than that.

Look, I understand that scanning is expensive and time-consuming. But let’s be real: you didn’t make the film. You didn’t animate it. Your name isn’t creatively tied to Pixar. Having a limited exclusive window for funders? Totally fair. But acting like a scan gives you permanent ownership over a cultural artifact just because you bought the print and paid for a scan—that’s not preservation, that’s gatekeeping.

The more attention film print scans get, the better. Labels are obsessed with negatives. Studios don’t give a damn about film print scans right now. Ironically, what we’re doing might be giving them the best preservation copy they’ll ever see. And you’d be surprised how many filmmakers, producers, and even studios quietly acknowledge that.

To a lot of people, getting a 35mm scan of a beloved film is a huge deal. They wait patiently—sometimes for years—for a chance to see it. So when you tell them that only a select few get access while everyone else gets a refund or silence, it leaves a bad taste. Especially when the people being denied were the same ones defending you when delays piled up.

And about the leaks—you keep pointing fingers, but let’s be honest: the only leaks in the last year have been from my scans. And I’m fine with that. After a 3-month exclusivity period, I open it up for everyone. That’s how I operate. Ironically, I’m often accused of leaking things, but the truth is, it’s usually someone else acting in bad faith. Meanwhile, I keep scanning and pushing forward.

Some people in this community think I’ve ruined it. Maybe that’s what the loudest voices say. But I’ve tried to be transparent every step of the way. I didn’t just buy a basic Cintel or Kinetta—I built my own scanner, from the ground up. It works completely differently from anything out there. And I did that for one reason: to preserve film.

Honestly, it feels like we need a full reset in this scene. If you’re into film preservation just so you can hoard art that isn’t yours, what’s the point? If you’re passionate about cinema, then that passion should be contagious—not buried under layers of secrecy and power trips.

You might not like me. That’s fine. But I hope you respect the work ethic and what I’m trying to do. We don’t have to be best friends—but we should be working together. Because at the end of the day, this is about one thing: the love of cinema. And if we lose sight of that, what are we even doing?

oh please don’t make me fucking laugh. if it hadn’t leaked you were literally just talking about how you weren’t gonna put die hard 2 out after yapping for months about how it would go out like everything else please stfu about gatekeeping. pls stfu about any and everything actually. if you wanna scan toy story then go scan fucking toy story, stop acting like some kind of authority figure talking down to people who have been doing this for YEARS while you have like a year at best and scans of movies that no one gives a fuck about lol. just mind your own fucking business, stop telling people how they “should” be doing things in “this scene” and letting chatgpt format and correct your little outbursts on forums where people have told you over and over again to JUST STFU. christ.

Hey asshole, touch some grass.

Pete, you need a SERIOUS ego check here. I have already fully explained my reasons for doing what I’ve done– stop butting in and trying to take the moral high ground.

You do whatever the heck you want with your prints/scans, but I don’t need (nor do I want) your input on what you think is right or wrong in this situation. Please and thank you.

I mean, seriously — just look at the way you’re talking to people. Do you really think this is about money?

Most of the folks who donated — whether it was $1 or $20 — aren’t sweating the amount. For many collectors, these scans represent something personal, something they love. It’s about preservation, passion, and access — not pocket change.

And you outright admit the scan is done… but only some people get it? After a two-year wait? How do you not see the problem with that?

You talk about ego — man, I’d never speak to the people supporting my work the way you do. Especially those trying to help. Calling that ego? No — it’s called accountability. People backed you because they trusted your word. That should mean something.

The bigger issue here is this twisted idea that having access to 35mm scans gives you some kind of power. I don’t see cinema that way. The joy of film is sharing it — letting people experience the magic together. But this? This has become all about you. And your excuses? Weak.

And when I offer to help? Suddenly I’m the asshole? Just because I stepped in when things were falling apart?

That’s not ego — that’s love for cinema. That’s wanting to preserve something that’s disappearing. Do you even care about 35mm preservation? Do you see what’s at stake here?

Prints are vanishing. Scans aren’t trophies to hoard — they’re part of film history. If they’re kept locked away, they’re worthless. What we’re doing is bigger than one person, bigger than clout or credit.

Oh, come on, man — we all know who you are from the Patreon.

This all kicked off because you got bent out of shape over a color correction. God forbid I didn’t drop everything to scan two whole trailers for you. My bad for being busy scanning actual films for, you know, the entire community.

But instead of just saying, “Hey, maybe I was wrong,” you kept going — post after post, moan after moan — until I finally had to give you a side-by-side A/B comparison just to put it to bed.

And then? Poof. Gone like it never happened. No apology. No accountability. Just vanished into the ether the second you couldn’t prove your point.

Facts! Thank you! This was the first project I’ve contributed to, and not once did Tristan ever thank me for contributing to his project.

I’m curious to know what other films you have scanned and how I can support you. 😃

Wasn’t done on a Cintel, bubba…

It was done on a $350K 35mm scanner — top-tier lab. But hey, keep spinning those false narratives, they’re entertaining at least.

For the record, my personal scanner was still being built at the time. But I promised the scan would be delivered within a month, so I paid the best lab in the city to get it done right.

No shortcuts. No excuses.

Here’s the lab I used — facts over fiction

yea I’m not doing this back and forth bullshit with you where you can never admit when you’re wrong and you muddy the waters and backtrack left and right and spin shit your way. so now you’re admitting batman wasn’t yours huh? where’s your lame little catchphrase on that one? you’ve been spinning some big fiction since you hit the scene seriously just stfu. but you won’t. so have fun ig lol. keep grifting dipshits like Gregor into funding your film collection, like good for you ig lol. I’m not reading any of your drivel. claiming “attacks” lol. take some more pages out of trumps playbook. fuck off guy. replying to me and not Tristan in this thread lol, like your bullshit is clear if you look for it. constantly concern trolling about why and how other scanners are raising money while you keep up your little grift. you’re here to stir shit up and grift people and “look good”. that’s it. talking about “preservation” (lol). and you have only been scanning for like a year. period. throw your lame catchphrase at that too lol. get over yourself. If all the stupid melodramatic shit you’re always complaining about was true then you wouldn’t be here. if everything you’re always running your mouth about were true you wouldn’t be here and other places running around with this victim complex or whatever your deal is lol. you are what’s wrong with the world. reckless provocative attitudes like yours. everyone is wrong sometimes. it’s what we do after that matters and you’re just a douchebag through and through

I’ve been collecting, projecting, and programming for — what — 20 years now? A good chunk of the first scans you all praise came from my prints. So maybe do a little research before you start yapping like you’ve got the full story.

And no, I don’t need to name-drop or puff my chest about my work. The record speaks for itself.

Victim complex? Please. The melodrama is all on your end — creating aliases, obsessively following me, spinning stories like it’s a soap opera. All while hiding behind burner accounts… yet somehow making it painfully obvious who you are. Blocking me after being proven wrong? Classic move.

And the kicker? You’re upset because I didn’t jump when you cried foul over a color correction. You were wrong. I showed the A/B proof. You vanished. Now here you are — stalking, stirring drama, leaking scans early just to feel powerful. It’s sad, man. Genuinely.

Critique is fine. Comes with the territory. But what you’re doing? This is something else. Even the people here who can’t stand me don’t go to these lengths. You’re on a personal crusade over your own bruised ego. It’s honestly concerning.

If you’re gonna talk this much, at least have the spine to use your real name. But hey, we both know who you are. Wasn’t exactly hard to figure out.

Whatever grudge you’re holding onto — let it go. I don’t know what I did to make you spiral like this, but if I hurt your feelings somewhere along the way? Sorry. Truly. But this level of obsession? It’s not normal. It’s not well.

So do us both a favor: move on.
