Honestly, I do not blame you, or any other creator to follow this route.

People are so obnoxious and feel entitled to movies because ‘the internet’. These small niche projects that I personally donate to is because I appreciate the length of work it takes to do these scans, not to mention how expensive it is. I felt it was important to supply this info because I do not think it’s fair to you or anyone else who is pouring money into these scans (and risking any trouble!). It’s pretty lame how people can spin it and they call it “gatekeeping”, gimme a break. If people were actually interested in these preservation they’d donate so that the creators can pursue more projects. It’s not hard to toss over a few bucks for something this cool.

A lot of these scans are quite impressive and I am so grateful that I can turn my home projector into a mini grindhouse cinema.

Again, I’m sorry this is all happening, and has been for some time.

I definitely agree on the Disney front, I’m sure they are aware of those and see it as “free marketing”, the rest I don’t know but again, I appreciate the hard work that goes into these and would hate to them cease

Hence why I posted the link.

I don’t like the idea of hard work going to waste because people don’t want to contribute. I personally enjoy donating towards these scans because a) I enjoy watching them at home, and b) I’m giving business to an individual and not some janky corp.

I’m sorry to hear how disappointing it is, I also agree it’s pretty lame. I just felt someone should know and hopefully it can be addressed. The last thing I want is any of those working on these preservations to get into any trouble if that’s a possible case.

Not sure if anyone here follows the Fanedits subreddit but there is a fellow https://www.reddit.com/user/Kaiji_fanedits/ who seems to be uploading tons of scans, not sure if any of these belong to contributors on this thread but I’m curious how folks feel about that? If it even matters.

Just thought I’d share in case the original restorer isn’t into the idea and might get pinched for their work. I appreciate the scans very much and Reddit can be such a garbage place.

I’d rather donate to a project regarding ALIENS.

There’s an already a scan for aliens

I thought that Aliens scan was just a color regrade from a blu rip?

I would also be interested!

Was looking for those Alien scans but no avail to me, also not privileged enough to be on the spleen. 😕

Will also love to jump on this if it’s possible! Thank you!

in case anyone that does these fantastic restorations/scans would wanna take a crack at it?

I’d happily toss money towards their cause as this film is an underrated gem!

PS the seller of this has several other films for sale.

Would love to donate towards this as well if it’s not dead!

I’d love to donate towards this noble cause! Can anyone steer me where to where I can do so?
