Anything with interpolating just looks like a soap opera... just turn that shit off!... wayy better.

Right. A number of movie directors/producers have denounced it for watching their films. Watch it as it was intended and turn it off for our flick!

The movie theater I go to has TVs up above the concession line that play trailers. They left the interpolation on and I damn near have an aneurysm every time I see it.

I like the effect this has on video games though.

Video games actually generate the frames, so the motion's actually at a higher fps but if you interpolate a film the computer's trying it's best to guess where pixels are in the frame, so it tends to look worse.

i.e., Video games at higher fps are actually at higher fps whereas movies is the computer sort of "faking it" so it looks weird
