But it is a tool to be used tactically, on a specific instrument or sound, to achieve specific effect. They don't master in 24bit/192kHz then just dump it to tape and send it. If used as element to paint the scene noise is fine and can work well, but the trend to just slap the grain on anything "coz that's how movies looked before" is just silly.
