And I have a similar problem with movies. Which is exactly why I so rarely go to movies. Because if it's not good enough to keep me from doing that, it all falls apart and I'm stuck with nothing else to do but sit there quietly and watch what's left as my mind continues to pick it apart. For the next hour. (I've never walked out on a movie.) I don't find that entertaining (unless I'm watching MST3K). In fact, quite the opposite. So why should I pay to subject myself to it?
Interesting reaction to Gaiman. I wouldn't have expected that, but I do see what you're saying. Fascinating as it can be to see backstage, it can ruin the magic show.
