The anamorphic thing isn't even the real issue, because it would still look almost as bad even if they'd resized it. The failure to do even a half-decent transfer from a moderately abused but still watchable film print with some minimal touchup, let alone an actual restoration, is the problem.
I love what G-force's AviSynth script does for the GOUT, but the low resolution, DVNR smear, and the worst instances of jaggies can't be corrected by any means, and we're pretty much stuck with them.
