I hate film grain. I don't like flat images either, but I'll take them over film grain. When I look at grass I don't see dots randomly moving all over the place, so I don't want to see them in a film either.

Maybe you prefer the look of video. I very much prefer the look of film (tough I use both) but not because of fidelity. It's like a waxwork in Madame Tussaud's is more lifelike than a stone or bronze statue, but I prefer the latter.
