Argh. I saw ANTHEM on cable a couple months ago (mainly just to swoon over
Ms. Jones)... but the finale gymnastics competition drove me bats! I've
never been to a real-life competition such as the one depicted, but do people
really fire off strobe-flashes 100 times a second non stop for half an
hour? Really annoying. Was this just a cheap directorial ploy to try to
raise the excitement level of the staged event? 

The constant screaming and yelling of the "audience" seemed way out of
proportion too.  And now you say they actually cut out a non-gymnastic
scene with Ms. Jones?   Hmph.
