@yogibimbi: "the problem for some of you could be that of a musician who is listening to music: You are cursed to never really be able to enjoy the music as a whole, but are always going into the details and even the best performers in this world still make frequent errors."

Well, as a composer and multi-instrumentalist, I'll say I don't have that affliction, nor do my peers. (or I wouldn't work with them!) I am not shackled by the narrow minded, one style bullshit or perfectionist crap either. As far as the "whole"...sorry, but if a tiny part of a composition is lame, that detracts from the "whole". You can't blow 16 bars of drivel and then expect the listener to appreciate the rest = cross eyed character is DISTRACTING.

Either way, I wouldn't even compare this to "300"...since they are two completely different applications. "300" doesn't have any cross-eyed characters, only gratuitous slow-mo and lots of blood.
