Hands up if you fucking hate the "angry birth" thing played for "laughs" in movies and TV shows.

Hang on, I thought The Smiths' "Shoplifters of the World Unite" was a thinly disguised gay pride song substituting "Shirtlifters" with "Shoplifters". "My only weakness is a listed crime/My only weakness is, well, never mind, never mind".

Incidentally, "judder" is the term for the uneven motion problems engendered converting 24fps to the 60Hz NTSC refresh rate using 3:2 pulldown. The inherent flickeriness of 24fps motion played at its native cadence is just called "strobing", and is a different effect.
