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

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.

pffffffff lmao. who am I then? nothing happened when I leaked die hard lmaooo. and now someone else just leaked the gate :p ur not in control of shit. maybe clean your own house before you go tripping over yourself to promise people toy story

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
https://www.framediscreet.com/

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

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.
