Hello fellow film fans,
I wanted to introduce myself as a new member and film lover who is incredibly happy to have found this website with all of these amazing (and important!) film preservation projects.
Quick Background, I first became aware of this great community when the very first Despecialized edition introduction video was released about 3 years ago. Being a star wars fan I quickly sought out those projects and was blown away by both the finished project and really just the effort and craft that went into 'fixing' those original theatrical versions. I soon discovered that there were more film projects and preservation's just like it and am very excited to continue to explore and support these efforts.
I was marginally active a few years ago on another website that I only recently discovered is no longer there (place that spelled 'the' like 'teh') checking out a handful of projects.
I am still a little green on where I can actually find these amazing projects that people are posting about here so any info about how that works would be much appreciated!
In particular I was a huge fan of original sporv "The Thing" release and I see that it has since been updated with a better source since i last checked it out.
That and I am very eager to check out any posting of the old Cameron movies that have been regraded/restored. In particular 'Aliens' as I seem to think that's the worst offender when it comes to excessive tampering with the original colors.
....or in other words, I HATE TEAL!
anyway i'm rambling and could ramble about film all day but just wanted to say I am happy to have found you great people again and am very much looking forward to checking out more projects! (when i figure out where to find them : /)
best,
