Help Looking For: The Collector (1965) Theatrical Cut on LaserDisc
Time

Sorry for the confusion. The movie in its original theatrical state is not full screen 4:3. It is 16:9, but I think the transfer used for the Blu-ray is zoomed in from a 4:3 transfer because the top and bottom of the screen is invisible due to being zoomed in. There is more visibility on the top and bottom frames of the entire movie on Laserdisc than the Blu-ray.

I’ve seen the Blu-ray release of the movie, but it turns out that a 4:3 print of the film was stretched to make it appear to be 16:9. Would anyone happen to have a LaserDisc rip of the movie or perhaps an upscaled version of the theatrical cut found on LaserDisc, so it could be possible to view this movie in its original state in the highest video and audio quality possible?

Help: looking for... Blue Velvet: Q2: Extended Edition
Time

I have been looking for the 25 GB BD file of this particular project https://ifdb.fanedit.org/blue-velvet-q2-extended-edition/ for quite a while now. I have the MP4 digital file version, but if someone had the BD file with the size of 25 GB, I would greatly appreciate it. I have asked Q2 for it, but they said they lost the original, so I’ve been looking for anyone who may have a copy they’d be willing to share as a direct personal message with me.

That’s a great point. I hadn’t even considered that. I suppose I was thinking it would be easier/less time-consuming if someone merely updated the DVD footage, but you’re right that a digitized film reel transfer would be better and preferable.

I want a fan restoration of Executive Decision (1996) that is the theatrical cut in Blu-ray quality. Currently, the theatrical cut only exists in the standard-definition DVD and laserdisc format. If someone were to splice the scenes from the DVD/laserdisc version that are missing from the Blu-ray, and use software to upscale the missing scenes to 1080p quality with color correction/sharpening, that would be great. The closest already existing example I can compare this to is the uncut upscale of Scream (1996) where someone spliced the uncut scenes from the laserdisc to the cut version of the Blu-ray.

Why not a preservation of a 35mm film print for Executive Decision instead of this unneeded upscaled shit?

For me it’d probably be random Extended Editions aka Longer Cuts of films, not fan edits. The list is as such:
ALIEN
DUNE (1984)
IT (Chapter One and Two more similar to the book with tons of deleted scenes and exclusive bonus features.)
KILL BILL (Whole Bloody Affair)
PROMETHEUS
SCREAM 1 (1996)
STAR WARS
THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
RETURN OF THE JEDI
SUPERMAN II
SUPERMAN III
SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE
THE TERMINATOR

And MORE!
