The Case Against High Definition Movies

Most people think I'm crazy when I tell them I prefer watching movies in Standard Definition.

High Definition movies look too real. It makes me feel like I'm on the set watching actors read their lines. There's a certain separation that I've grown accustomed to with Standard Definition, and it's just not there in HD.

Now don't get me wrong, I'd rather watch sports and nature shows in HD. But I think that's because I'd actually want to be at the sporting event -- as close to the action as possible. (And the same is true with the nature shows.)

But I don't want to be on a movie set.
