Everything gets a Digital intermediate anyway. Oftentimes the 35mm print you'll be watching had a digital transfer and was then printed back to film or was all digital and had some prints struck from a DI. I still prefer a print in this case but there's never anything that truly comes across better as it was originally digital.

I take that back, The American looked stunning in 35mm theatrically and likely came from a DI.

I prefer a battered 35mm print of a movie in a second run theater than a digital presentation, not just because I'm a film geek, but also because I can't find a decent presenting theater anywhere around, especially for sound.

Speaking of which, TDKR is getting a handful of 15perf/70mm film prints made for IMAX theaters that are willing. Here's the list: http://www.thedarkknightrises.com/imax.html

Though I wasn't a fan of TDK, I am beyond psyched to see one of these prints!!
