Before 2021 Fantasia was the worst restored/preserved. Second worst was THX1138. But since then THX1138 is now last place since Fantasia has come so far. Right now you essentially have two choices for THX1138. Either the laserdisc rip or the Grindhouse Edition. And the laserdisc version looks pretty rough in this day and age.

Nope, this is the only way to go for now:

Another year goes by with nothing. I know this wasn’t a scam, but it sure feels like one at this point. Have any sample frames of the better print been shared? I don’t want to be mean, but I am upset at this point. Timetable is part of the reason why I donated. I wouldn’t have donated to a “maybe we’ll have something in a decade” kind of project. I know real people have real lives, but I don’t think it’s okay to be ghosting the donors about what’s going on. It’s been 7 1/2 years at this point - coupled with no communication, it’s really hard to feel good about my donation.

Very much agree with this take. People gave money with the idea that something would come to fruition, eventually, and that we were helping to preserve an important film. But here we are approaching what, ~8-9 years with nothing to show for it? And to add insult to injury we get continued radio silence from everyone involved. And yes, it’s been addressed multiple times over the years as to why this was/is the case. I can understand and empathize with the health-related issues——we all have our burdens——but that really should have been addressed back then when it was clear the project was in jeopardy; someone should have taken over the project, or at the very least people should have reached out for help within the community.

And now we are put into the position of keeping quiet indefinitely, because if we do “complain” or say anything critical then we are insensitive jerks who don’t care. That’s really not fair to those of us who just wanted to help this project succeed. I think at this point the money that was donated should be returned. The mods need to take action at this point, whatever that entails, otherwise it really does feel like this was some kind of crowd-funded scam.

Then PM the mods and the original poster…

Thanks stretch009. I don’t even have this edit anymore, great that you seem to. I did find a wacky version from December 2012 with some really bad Boba Fett fan movie footage added to the Endor section. But I don’t think that’s the “final” version - albeit this edit wasn’t ever really finished.

Yep, I have one with Boba Fett dated June 2013 and without Boba Fett dated August 2013.
