Can't agree. One of my all-time favorite shots in cinema is from Full Metal Jacket when the camera pulls out slowly, lingering on Private Pyle ashamed to be eating his jelly doughnut as he is flanked by the other recruits doing pushups behind him. Frankly, I think the trend towards hyperkinetic quick cuts, slo-mo and extraneous camera motion is ruining the medium.
