OK, let me try and explain:

A) Anamorphic vs letterboxed has absolutely nothing to do with cropping, it only affects resolution.

B) All home video releases are cropped to a certain degree, regardless whether they are anamorhic, letterboxed or even HD. This slight cropping that appears in widescreen transfers isn't the same as pan&scan, it only crops a relatively small portion of all four edges. And if the cropping is reasonable, this is a good thing, because those edges were never meant to be seen.

C) GOUT means George's Original Unaltered Trilogy and it only refers to the 2006 bonus DVD, which came from 1993 THX laserdisc master.
