I am well aware that this recent technology drives a wedge into the movie-loving community, and it's not the first time that I hear people arguing like that. No one will force you to use such technology, and you don't have to like it. But some want to have it in, and you shouldn't tell others what they have to like or dislike. There is no "right" and "wrong" here, it's a matter of taste and not a matter of fact. Me for example, I'm much more sensitive to low frame rates than most of other people, and this is why I almost never go to cinema because I get a headache from the slide show on the big screen. Even on my (relatively small) TV, it annoys me. Wherever higher frame rates come from, I'll welcome them, at home and in cinema. At least, we can agree that it'd be useful to implement such technology on an open-source basis, albeit for different reasons. Therefore, we shouldn't argue for what reasons we need this and what cruel things it does to movies, but how we can initiate its implementation.
