DNR in a nutshell:
1. It's a process designed primarily for removing noise (electrical interference) from old VIDEO sources.
2. High Definition video has a high enough resolution to reproduce the grain crystals on a scanned Film. Film grain isn't electrical interference, it's different from noise but is often considered to be the same. It looks similar but occurs for a different reason.
3. Most people (through no fault of their own) are watching on uncalibrated TVs with high Sharpness and probably some Automatic noise reduction. This molotov cocktail of video crap processes the moving grain structure and changes it from a naturally occuring background effect into an annoyance.
4. Studios use noise reduction processes to reduce the film grain, often turning an otherwise nice-looking film into something resembling wax figures at Madame Tussaud's in the process. It looks ugly enough on a TV, but is just plain distracting to look at on a projector.
