Always getting that reinforced. I was looking up news articles about a major project the construction company I work for just finished (how's this for cool: a water park with a 747 on the roof (http://www.oregonlive.com/travel/index.ssf/2011/06/evergreen_wings_waves_waterpar.html)) and made the mistake of looking at comments: often comprised of screaming anger. In this case, about a water park. DAMN YOU COLORFUL SLIDES! But reading that gets me spun up and unhappy, so I stopped reading. Don't, read, the comments, I had to remind myself. The problem can probably be summed up as too much talking, not enough thinking, but summing it up that way doesn't make the issue go away. Oh, well. Best I can do is not contribute to the screaming.
Anyway, then we watched Christopher McQuarrie's The Way of the Gun (2000), which I love, even though it sort of destroyed the man's career. It shouldn't have.
You may appreciate the Q&A my friend Mike Russell did with McQuarrie about 2008's Valkyrie (http://culturepulp.typepad.com/culturepulp/2008/12/the-culturepulp-qa-christopher-mcquarrie.html), in which Russell brought up The Way of the Gun and McQuarrie goes into a little bit of detail about his feelings about it. Interesting chat, I think. (I appreciated The Way of the Gun, too.)
