besides looking fake as hell, it's a slap in the face to cinematographers, art directors, and set designers who worked so hard to optimize black and white film. But most Americans are too dumb to realize that.

When I was watching "Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder" in color I changed the setting on my TV. Now I have some TV that won't let you do that without spending 30 trying to figure it out. Films with contrasts and shadows and stark lighting on sets are better in black and white, in my opinion.
