I hope you're not referring to The Simpsons.  :)

Actually, I mis-typed. PDB may do a preservation (he hasn't mentioned it) for his LD restoration. But, after all, he must capture it to work on it.

As for me, I'd love to do a rectification if I had more time (which would automatically include preservations of no-longer-available sources). My rectification would do things like:

[CAUTION: SPOILERS ... that will ruin your movie-watching experience! Quick! Avert your eyes from the following ... oops ... too late.]
.


• using the Taschen The Stanley Kubrick Archives book for color reference where lightening our Kubrick approved laserdisc (as I've already demonstrated) would approximate the Archives's on-the-set photographs


• correcting effects shots that start early or late


• unsticking the pen in weightlessness


• fix the wrong memory-slab slide-out; align slab stop positions


• align some readout re-exposures misaligned onto main photography


• eliminate vertical vibration in camera tracking

And that's without more research on what others have spotted.  Sorry, Stanley.  :)
