Whole Grain or White Bread?

[hendersd]

OK, let me toss this out there...
Many posters and reviewers seem to be fixated on grain. One recent reviewer actually said: "I wish there was more grain...". I forget which film was being referred to. I totally agree with the notion that fims should be presented in a way that was originally intended, and DNR can have disasterous results. Having said that, some films on home video seem to be grainier that they were originally. I saw CE3K and Young Frankenstein first run on BIG screens and I could almost swear that they were not this grainy. I remember admiring Doug Trumbull's effects shots in the former and how smooth they looked. The latest BD seems grainer to me. Of course, we all know that memories lie, but I'm an art-maker and visually attuned to such things. I also find it interesting that people are falling all over themselves praising the Sleeping Beauty BD (including me!). It looks great. However this presentation has ZERO grain! The magicians at Disney have obviously "tweaked the knobs" here to produce this extraordinary result.
Why are we not complaining about this one?
