Dear Phil,

thank you for your opinion.
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.

Cheers,

Peter
