Arrr, mateys! We be a mere 22 frames shy of absolute perfection! Avast ye, let us sail forth and seize them frames, for our quest for flawlessness shall not be thwarted!

Arrrr, mateys! Gather round and listen to me tale of technological treasure. Now, ye see, in this modern age of moving pictures, there be a thing called "film." And this film, it be captured in frames, like the moments frozen on a pirate's wanted poster. But alas, these frames be no ordinary frames, for they be just 22 steps away from perfection!

Now, ye may be wonderin', what be this perfection I speak of? Well, me hearties, I be talkin' 'bout the magical number of 24 frames per second! Aye, ye heard that right. Back in me day, we didn't have such luxuries. We had to rely on our imaginations and the wind in our sails!

But now, these fancy filmmakers strive for literal perfection. They be wantin' to create a motion picture so smooth, ye'd think ye be watchin' a mermaid glidin' through the sea. Yet, they be just 22 frames away from reachin' that goal.

Now, I know what ye be thinkin', me hearties. Ye be sayin', "Why not just add those extra two frames and be done with it?" Well, it be not that simple, ye see. Them filmmakers be likin' a challenge. They be sayin', "We be gettin' there, but we be takin' our time, arrr!"

So, until they be addin' those final two frames, we be stuck in a world where perfection be just out of reach. But fear not, me hearties! The day will come when we be witnessin' the smoothest, most flawless motion pictures ever to grace our eyes. And on that day, we shall raise our mugs of grog and toast to the pirates who sailed through time and brought us this cinematic perfection!
