The Evil Dead (1983) 35MM Film Scan <em>DONATIONS NEEDED</em>
Time

Super stoked for this! Evil Dead’s been on my watchlist for years, recently got around to watching the 4K UHDs of I and II. Loved them, especially the raw filmmaking craziness of the first, but had no idea it got the ‘Star Wars Treatment’ of ‘fixes’ (albeit to a much lesser extent). Can’t wait to see this more ‘pure’ version!

THX on 35mm Tech IB preservation - HELP NEEDED (work in progress)
Time

I hope this project finds its way out of the white void prison one day. THX 1138, weirdly enough, had almost, if not maybe more, of an impact on me as Star Wars when I was a kid, despite not seeing until years later! I used to watch religiously the bonus disc from some SW release that had the “Empire of Dreams” documentary, which included snippets of THX. The strange look and sound of THX, even from mere seconds of footage, blew my mind and had me mesmerized for close to a decade until I finally watched the film. To this day I can’t get those striking images out of my head. It’s a horribly under-appreciated film, and one I hope gets the love it deserves one day without all that bullshit CGI.

Help: Looking for... &quot;Dune&quot; extended TV edit with original aspect ratio
Time

I recently purchased the “Dune: Extended Edition” DVD (both for curiosity and completionist’s sake), but was saddened to learn that it is not quite the way it was broadcast, as a good chunk of the picture has been cropped from the original 4:3 aspect ratio to make it widescreen. In my never ending obsessiveness to find every alternate version of my favorite films, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to the Dune extended TV edit in the original aspect ratio (if such a thing still exists)?
