Man I remember one of my friends got a flat panel about a decade ago and he is a huge movie buff, tons of old horror and sci fi VHS and DVDs. He would invite me to watch movies and it just always boggled my mind how fucking shitty and unwatchable the movies were.
It was years later when I realized it was that smooth motion garbage. I really do not understand how people can put up with how trash that feature is

Consisting your friend is a huge movie buff I’m surprised it didn’t bother the heck out of him, film fans usually turn that crap off as soon as they turn on the TV. Supposedly it’s because sports, soap operas and a lot of low budget TV are shot & broadcast at higher frame rate than film - so when you watch a film with the frame rate artificially increased your brain goes ‘I am watching low budget soap trash’ subconsciously. I think people are just used to film looking a certain way and anything that makes it appear quite different is too distracting for them to relax into the fantasy.
