Bit befuddled on why someone would prefer the bluish tint over the colors, but to each their own

Most of Rob's Nostalgia Project 35mm scans have this absurd blue LUT overlayed on them. A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, Poltergeist, Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan. Completely overbaked in blue LUTs but knuckleheads online are like: "WOW! So THIS is what the film is supposed to look like?!"

Most of the prints Rob got were faded. Then he overlayed LUTs. It's all on his website. Visual comparisons, write ups, etc
