But why should your preference dictate how everyone sees it, or how the art, irrespective of ANYONE'S preference, should be presented.

 

That road runs both ways. Why should I be forced to look at those unsightly brush strokes and grainy pictures just because "they need no improvement". And there's a obvious difference between editing the presentation of a piece of art (removing grain and brushstrokes) and editing the content of it (adding Pikachu to Laurence of Arabia).

 

No, that is not what I necessarily prefer. Maybe I like having a clearer image. Maybe I would prefer that films be made a little differently. Maybe I would prefer better acting and better special effects so I'm not taken out of the experience of being absorbed in a story. But my preferences are incidental--films are what they are and they should remain that way, not altered to suit my fancy.
