The fact that it is becoming more pronounced became evident because I'm starting to do it to animation, too. I pick up on the subtle differences in the types of animation in futurama, and I watch how disney uses layered backgrounds to get the chance to do the animation equivalent of a 'oner' (a long, moving take that stretches on past where you would normally cut).
The truth behind it is- I stopped seeing this:

And started seeing this:

It, of course, comes from knowing too much about what goes on to make the movie. It makes me wonder if people who specialize in special effects (such as the cutting edge CG ones that I am blissfully unaware of the specifics behind) have it even worse than me('do you see the blending around that cutout? LAAAME.')
It's not such a bad thing, I don't guess. Career wise, it helps me identify techniques I might want to employ on one of my own projects. However, when I just want to watch a movie for fun, something just for entertainment, it becomes rather bothersome. Also, when I point these things out it makes me sound extremely pretentious.
