Just went and got the old man a Roku (cuz they still have cable and pay for "HBO" but miss out on all the MAX content) and it seems baked in. Showed him the first scene of Gangs of London and it had that "floaty/ephemeral" look to it. Almost like, "Hey we want this brilliant picture to look like a crap SciFi show from the 2000's."

I always describe it as being noticably "smooth" in a very strange/off-putting way.

At least my �off-putting� was on the money, then.

If I have ever come across this it has gone right over my head.

I'm not familiar with this phenomenon. I must have it turned off on my tv. I tend to notice stuff like the "soap opera effect", so I think I'd notice any other odd-looking thing if it was going on.

Motion smoothing is the absolute worst, completely destroying the artistic integrity of any movie or anything really that was shot on film

My worst fear is that young kids today might grow up thinking it is the "normal" way that movies should look when you're watching at home. And then eventually it will become the only way to watch movies at home because maybe at some point you won't be able to change the settings to turn it off.
