Most people don't care. They don't see cinema as an art. For them, it's just a cool thing to kill 2 hours of their boring lives. How many times have I read "no Atmos, no sale" in the comments on blu-ray.com for movies released before 2012? These idiots are in the "it's better" wagon. Because of George Lucas, aka the killer of cinema, people expect movies to be updated now. They have no more consideration towards art and the history of art than they have towards a smartphone app they upgrade every other day. It's the same people that keep chanting the Idiot Party line that "it's their movies, they can do whatever they want", which is false and wrong on both accounts. I no longer waste my time debating with these people.
And I just read the other day that, when asked about Zodiac, he says he would make it very differently today but that movies belong to the time of their creation and thus must not be changed. A perfect PR statement. The problem is he does in fact the opposite of what he says. Same BS statement as when he ruined Seven. Fincher has become the worst.
