Interesting. I just got home and sent off the post I wrote earlier today. It's Friday night, I really should be studying for quals, and I'm a little drunk. As I often do when I get home from a bar, I popped in a ridiculously optimistic girly movie ("Enchanted" this time), and am watching it while I eat a shitload of carbs. I wonder if there is anything to the claim one of my friends makes that the Disney/chick flick optimism is detremental to children. Could believing in happy endings result in a twisted view of the world that can't ever possibly be lived up to? I hope not. But maybe if we all grew up thinking that the world is a shitty place and that things don't always work out, we would be pleasantly surprised if they did and not disappointed if they didn't. It's something to think about I guess.
