And that's a good thing? :-P

Film still has a higher "resolution" than video methods. TPM will always look better than AOTC or ROTS for that reason.

That's not what I mean. "Video" looks different than "film". It's hard to put into words.

Look at a home family video. Look at the dimensionality of it. Look at the way things look.

Now look at a film. It has a different feel to it. It almost makes video look fake, as backwards as that sounds.

Film looks "real". Video looks "live".

OK, after looking at my sister's TV again today and investigating exactly which make/model she has, I figured out why I noticed this film/video difference - 120Hz. The 120's make film look "live" because of the doubled frequency rate. My new Westinghouse 42" is the standard 60Hz and TESB on Spike still looks like film.
