GOUT. It's just the best option that I've got ready access to. Besides, I've got little or no use for fan edits and such nonsense.

The choices are only limited if you allow yourself to be limited by blindly condemning fan efforts.

In defense of thecolorsblend, the existence of "fan preservations" as a subset of "fan edits" is counterintuitive to many, and certainly unknown to most (even members of this forum may simply never check that part of the forum). I'm a relatively recent member of this forum and the existence of fan preservations was a major, world-shaking revelation for me.

The whole idea that fans, using (mostly) home video releases, could create a better-quality product than studios who actually have access to film masters and tons of expensive equipment seemingly defies logic. That's why "the GOUT is as good as it gets" is such an entrenched opinion.

As unpopular as this opinion may be, it's an important one. And largely true. Hopefully we can further change this just by continuing to do what we do.
