I'm actually a little offended at your dismissive attitude.

Wow, seriously? I guess you have a right to be. Odd to me though, what floats your boat may not float everyone's, doesn't make sense to feel offended by that, no matter how little.

Maybe they are getting better, I don't know. I gave them a chance for years, constantly hearing people say great things about them, going through the trouble of getting my hands on them, and then being disappointed. Finally at one point I realized there was not a single fan edit (save for DigitalfreakNYC's Blade Runner set, which is now obsolete thanks to the official boxset, and Ridgeshark's Army of Darkness: Primitive Screwhead edition) that I could even stomach ever watching more than once, and even once was too much.

I'd consider getting more now to see if things have changed and they have improved, but I can't really imagine it. All the ones I ever dl'ed and watched were ones that had been met with high praise, and I didn't think much of them. Based on the fact that you, Fink, felt that Adywan's edit was a "vastly different takes on the original that made for a completely new experience" shows that I probably still wouldn't find the edits that you think to be amazing to be anything special. While I found some of the things he could do to be impressive and I enjoyed watching it, I certainly didn't find it to be a "completely new experience". I found it to be exactly what the special edition was (but, sadly, done better than the official one), an old film with new elements and special effects taped and glued onto it in various places. The very idea, had it not been something the original film maker had already decided to do to it, would have been something I would have considered absolutely stupid.
