so, sometimes, from the start, these technologies are exactly what the directors/studios want for their product. they offer video and audio
technology that is simply not available on displays/audio systems that do not support them.

If they want to sabotage their own work by having their movie(s) look like it's been filmed with a camcorder (instead of film), and jump on the bandwagon because it's the latest fad, it won't last.
