If you don't like B&W you don't like film.
I don't like B&W and yet that doesn't mean I don't like the films shot in B&W. B&W wasn't some kind of artistic feature at the time. It was a limitation which deprived the films of an important dimension. Every sane person should realise that. But you still get some guys shooting in B&W today, thinking it will make their work look more "artistic" (yes that is primarily aimed at Spielberg). Don't get me wrong, I think Schindler's List is exceptionally great film but being shot in B&W only makes it less great (it lost an important dimension because the stupid decision).
And I just get pissed at people who inherently oppose colourisation of B&W films when no one is trying to erase the original versions.
