Film grain is usually regarded as a nearly isotropic (non-oriented) noise source, and is made worse by the distribution of silver halide grains in the film also being random." from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_noise

I know wikipedia is not a definitive source, but I believe many people feel grain is noise that is part of film. Grain has been discussed to death, it is up their with religion and politics now. Everyone seems to have very different views, like grain, hate grain, or don't care about graion, like believers, atheists, agnostics. Heavy Metal is noise to some people too, it's music to others. Can't account for taste.

Telling someone to educate themselves on what the find visually appealing or appalling is getting a little rude. I can take grain but I don't like it, I know what is it, but I still don't like it.

i don't think its rude at all,i think they should get educated.as i said before if you don't like grain the use the dnr setting on your tv.for the studios to cater to one group of people that hate grain isn't fair ether.lession 1.if you remove grain you lose detail,might as well ditch bd and stick to dvdif they can remove grain without losing detail i;m all for it.but it won't happen because they can't do it without losing detail.
