[Tim Wilson] "If I can't see a film digitally, I don't go. I find the bouncing around intolerable, scratches distracting, the changes between reels jarring. I wouldn't tolerate a tenth of that in my tv, and see no reason why I would pay money for such dramatically poorer presentation, especially when I'm not allowed to be in my pajamas. "

Apparently we're both voting with out pajamas.

Since I grew up with film projection none of the artifacts bother me, as long as the projection booth is handling things properly. I also don't think the issue is movies that are shot digitally, I just saw "The Artist" projected on film ( I think) and it looked great. My problem is strictly with the horrid color saturation and contrast in every digitally projected film I've seen. I understand the commercial pressure to do away with film prints, it's just that if your trying to lure people out of their houses it helps to show them a picture better than the one they can see in their living room. Until then, the PJs win.
