Subject: [Leica] Shocking: MM images do not look like film!

I wonder what film is supposed to look like which is different, worse or
better than digital?
I do know that with an 11x14 print I scan see grain in the highlights with
film and in the shadows its called rather "noise" in digital an image from a
digital capture.
Otherwise in the file sizes we are seeing here people are blowing smoke up
our arses.
If film looked better than digital than the top photographers would be
shooting film. It doesn't; so we don't.
