So I think that really depends on what you grew up with, personally. When I went to a digital theater for the first time, to see 'No Country for Old Men', I was floored by some of the vistas. (It was actually the second time though, I guess, after seeing AOTC.) I have since come to appreciate the filmic, dirty look too, and am not happy where digital has gone since (there as a good series on this in the LA Times this past summer) but I don't think I'm distracted by perfectness as much as I'm just drawn, sometimes, to the imperfect. That's what I love about Puggo Grande and now PSB (saving actual viewing till mid this wk when I'm back home and have a solid TV to work with again). But for me, they couldn't replace Harmy's work, or tide me over till 35mm either - they represent an alternative and in some way much more authentic experience of viewing the films, at least if you're trying to approximate how it was experienced originally, which straight pristine video of course doesn't really allow you to do. It is greatly appreciated, sure, but I can't say that I prefer such an approximation of that experience in general.
