You know, despite what you say about original format, I've had no desire to see any Hobbit in 48

You're not missing out. I tried it and deeply regretted it. Felt like the film was being sped up most of the time. A thoroughly unenjoyable experience, I never bothered seeing it like that for the second.

i also hope this is just a novelty and doesnt catch on. Douglas Trumball had some neat tricks for it - can't find the video - but the speed up motion and lighting just kills it.

PJ says 48 fps makes it easier on the eyes for 3D...and he is correct in that regard. but it screws up everything else :( I kept hearing that everything has eye-popping clarity, but i thought everything looked dull, cheap and fake. In DOS, the Laketown scenes looked horrible.

24fps for me still has a richness to it.
