I understand how you are experiencing problems like this with your personal television, but the situation is different with the Hobbit.

> Why show a mere 24 frames per second when we can magically build, or interpolate, new in-between frames and show 120 or even 240 frames per second?

The problem you are experiencing is "interpolation"- or, inserting extra frames that the movies was not intended to show.

The Hobbit is a movie that runs natively at 48 frames per second. Natively, as in the movie theatre will not have interpolation because 48 fps is the rate the film was originally shot in.
