Working as a video editor, I've noticed that when I flop a shot, (usually to
correct screen direction of an actor) I have the same response.  It just
doesn't look right.
Sometimes I can attribute it to the fact that there is visible time code that
ends up reversed, but even on text less images, the first impression seems to
be very
lasting. Perhaps our brains pay extra special attention to a new image.
