Bleak Schmleak

I really wish dumb asses who think they're writer's would quit perpetuating the idea that bleakness is "more emotional". If you have a character fight through hell and in the end things come out alright, how is that not emotional? It's like the positive emotions don't count. I say it's lazy bastards who can't otherwise motivate their characters that have to kill people off for "emotional impact". It's easy to make a brooding hero. Creating an upbeat one is much more tricky.

So in Hollywood movies, it ends happily and it's predictable, but in Indie movies it ends on a sour note and it's genius? Bull fucking shit! It's just as cliche.

And that's another thing? Why is it that everyone on the left things Hollywood is a bunch of greedy men in business suits, and everyone on the right thinks they're a bunch of deviant druggies and perverts? No, I'm not making a generalization in criticism of generalizations. I'm speaking about dumb asses who are by definition dumb asses.
