Now Dave, here is where I have a problem.  You are calling them
"violations" while they are not.  They are "through the window effects" and
there is (technically) nothing wrong with them.  Now, if they are overused
that's another issue.  It is more a matter of taste.  If the 3d movie
depends only on those effects to sell tickets then I agree, that's not
good.  But used in moderation these effects are good and give a good name
to stereo, IMO.

There is such thing as a "window violation" that has to do with improper
mounting.  I guess you could find window violations in 3d movies but I
expect them to be less objectionable than window violations in a projected
still picture.
