A long time ago I took Economics 101 at university and dropped it as a load of bollocks.
Websites that rely on flash should be added to a black list so we can all go about blissfully ignorant of their existence

It's a problem with modern movies that they routinely ramp up drama by piling conflict onto the plot. More and more conflict to increase drama until it's really impossible for the movie to end well. That much conflict should have unhappy endings.
But often movie producers seem to think an audience needs a happy ending to feel good about a movie, which is obviously nonsense.

Am I just being a curmudgeon?
