The telecine certainly brought out the garbage mattes tremendously compared to projected theatrical prints, where you can hardly see them. This is why arguing for garbage mattes to be untouched doesn't really make sense. You'd get a better representation of the original theatrical experience on home video if those shots were digitally recomposited (as some were for the SE). Keeping them is more like preserving the early video versions than the movie itself.

I've noticed matte lines in every release, ever.

Me too, but I'd never seen garbage mattes until the '04 release.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

I'm never bothered by bad special effects if the movie's story is good. However, modern day movies are all about special effects and rarely anything else. If I'm going to pay nine dollars to see a film that cost hundreds of millions of dolars to make, the special effects better be damn good. I'll criticize the hell out of them if they aren't.
