Hello!
Occasional FanRestore lurker for a long time, new registered user for the first time!
I mainly started to enter the forum right now as one who just assembled a comparison excerpt of three different versions of the 1989 movie The Abyss (1991 VHS/1990 telecine, 2002 DVD/1993 telecine [all 4:3], and 2000 DVD/1993 telecine [2.35:1]) and put it on the r/VHS and r/LaserDisc subreddits, as seen here.
I figured it would be interesting to see how it looked when compared against the older WEB-DL & HDTV prints, much less the 1990 LaserDisc that I have never seen anybody do direct capture clips of [to date] so far, especially as someone who became a big fan of this movie since 3 1/2 years ago, down to the month.
