"I do not want anything artifcial in anything that I am watching."
To say this is a pretty broad statement... The grain in film itself is an artifiact of higher speed exposure films. While sometimes it is there intentionaly for artistic impact (like in "Sin City" for example), for the most part it exists due to the limitations of film media.
A lot of movies have a lot of "artificial" frames ie. special effects. I view this tech as just another version of this...and it sounds the studios will have the option of using this or not on specific titles where appropriate.
And it's bound to be short lived any way given all the digital filming that's happening these days and the eventual obsolescence of film...The existance of 'film grain' will eventually be replaced by 'noise'.
