I can't stand the crappy interpolation. One, you're potentially destroying (potentially misguided) artistic choices. Two, every time I have seen this, there has been a speed jitter after cuts, where the interpolation filter is trying to catch up. After it catches back up, it slows back down to match the incoming data rate. Three, it just looks wrong.
Also, this may be news to you, but almost every fully-scripted (non "reality" bs) show, at least in the US, is shot at 24fps, edited at 24fps, effects done at 24fps, and then pulled down to 59.94 fields or frames per second (depending on interlaced/progressive transmission medium).
