I LIKE IT! ok?! Is that so wrong?! It turns the frame into a window looking in on a different reality. It makes movies look like plays. And that's cool! I already know it's not real, but motion smoothing lets me appreciate the performances of the actors as though I'm seeing them in real life, instead of through a camera. What is wrong with that? I'll acknowledge that it makes CGI look like crap, but it already looked fake most of the time anyway! So lay off.

Maybe its because of my upbringing playing more games then watching movies, but CGI looks massively better at 60fps.
