Just joined, looking forward to interacting with fellow film enthusiasts!

Hi, I recently discovered this site looking for other versions of T2 (we all know about the 4K scan) that I could watch instead of the DVD version or the official 4K version

Hi everyone I'm new here because I was trying to find Rumble in the Bronx's original HK version. 
Low and behold I found a master restorer! 

I'm here to learn more and look forward to possibly contribute back to the community. You all seem to be AV experts and have a very keen sense of cinema versions and discrepencies in Hollywood bought cinema.

Hello all.  I'm new to the forum here but look forward to contributing (and learning).

Hello everyone

I've long been interested in acquiring and preserving rare and unique versions of media.

After registering here years ago and knowing about this community even longer, I'm glad I was finally able to login with all that confusion with fanres/fanrestore domains.  :)

Quote:  While not IMAX, yesterday Cinemark posted a listing for "Pink Floyd at Pompeii - MCMLXXII" with an April 24th 2025 release date. The description is as follows:

    "The newly restored 4K version, scanned from the original negative, presents the first full 90-minute cut, combining the 60-minute source edit of the performance, with additional Abbey Road Studios documentary segments covering the recording of 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon. The amphitheater concert includes performances of seminal tracks Echoes and One of These Days, alongside earlier hits Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and A Saucerful of Secrets. Also features a brand-new audio remix by Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree, preserving the authenticity and spirit of the original recording."

Hey there everyone, I'm a film enthusiast and physical media collector and I am deeply appreciative of the projects some of you have put hours upon hours of effort in.   Looking forward to talking more with you all!

Does anyone know if its possible and if so how to recreate the Smilebox effect to a letterbox image in something like Premiere.

Would like to add this effect to the whole film of It’s a Mad Mad Mad World, like the trailer for it on Youtube:

Thanks in advance.

Just a lover of classic films seeking versions that preserve the originals for modernity without egregious transformation of all the actors into rubber automata.

Good day.
The name is albert.
Looking forward to see the growth of this fan restoration community.

I thank you all for the love of movies and cinema purely to share it all with others as well.
God bless.
