The grain and CC looks nice, but why would you crop it even more than the 1.85:1 aspect ratio?
You’re right it’s cropped a bit tight, could pull back a bit, the cropping is for emulating 35mm projection jitter.

So I saw there’s a 4k copy of Superbad on Amazon. No official Blu-ray release atm – it seems to be an upscale, but they did a pretty decent job. Anyway, as a fan of the film and knowing it was released on 35mm, I wanted to do a little test to see how it might look. Given it was shot on the Panavision Genesis (digital) they actually did a pretty decent job of giving it a film-vibe (most Genesis projects did), but I just wanted to push it a little further, especially with the texture. Unfortunately, I don’t have the GPU power atm to pull this project off, but hopefully one day.
These were done off HD screen-grabs

Sorry if this has been posted before. But this looks hopeful.
