I totally agree that colorizing is an abomination - but the secretary in our department, who is old enough to remember B&W movies, volunteered that she would not watch any old B&W movies because "color is so much better".

I call this "kissing the cow", from something my aunt used to say:
"'Everyone to their own taste,' said the old lady as she kissed the cow."

Not sure if she realizes that some movies have been colorized and received a negative reaction, and I didn't want to start a discussion in the face of her firmly stated opinion.
