    heir high-end compositing application

    Misread this as a composting application. I knew you mac boys like to think different, but my ten dollar garbage can, month old table scraps and watering can are more than enough for this type of job.

      Well, if you consider the number of shitty movies Hollywood produces each year, I'm sure enough of them passed through Shake in post-production that "composting application" is right.

    To be fair, it's 2005 that wants its joke back. Let's not rewrite history.
