"In the book, author Blake Snyder, a successful spec screenwriter who became an influential screenplay guru, preaches a variant on the basic three-act structure that has dominated blockbuster filmmaking since the late 1970s"

Sounds like a one trick pony to me.

I would love to think so, but I doubt it. As long as corporations like Google or Amazon can say "no taxes or else we go to an other place" we have a problem. Or medical companies that "negotiate" ridiculous prices for their medicine.

Awww. Come here and let me hug you. You're too sweet!!!

We can vote, but governments are run by money and corporations.

The american way is shoot first and keep shooting until there is nobody left to ask questions to.
If that is the impression people get from the news, there surely there must be a problem somewhere.

About the difference: "there is something social at play here". That is such a polite way to put it.

There is so much you can say about this, but I'd rather stay silent.
I don't want to be shot 85 times over a small remark about a terminally ill system.
Not that that is going to help. We all have heard about mister Dotcom

Common solution for computers: remove malware, install patches and protection and reboot.

Last time I checked the 300M people are insignificant compared to the world population, but they use 25% of the energy. And since "we" includes the whole world "we the superior people" are also part of the problem.
Sure "we the superior people" can buy whatever the "we the superior people" want, but not caring about the sustainability rest of the world is.. quite ignorant.

Every nation has their own arguments to justify their action, but no government wants to look an the bigger picture because that is painful. It does require less consumption. It's about everybody and the long term and not only the US. If we're out of resources, we're out of resources. Game over.

4 billion people is more than enough. It solves a lot of problems in areas like water, food, energy, pollution.

I find the situation where a government treats the whole world as suspect quite objectionable.

Real problem: Not taking responsibility for own actions; blaming others
Verdict: Grow up; get a life.

And I bet that 50 page complaint was written left-handed.

Shoot first, drone first, water board first and THEN ask questions.
Who needs theatre?

They enhanced existing broccoli and patented the enhanced properties of it, but that is done in such a way that even existing types of open source broccoli could/would fall under that patent prohibiting (or pay licence fees) farmers to grow the broccoli that they grew before without licence.

Patent Trolling is one thing. Food Trolling is the part that really pisses me off.
Also Cotton Trolling (trolling the farmers in India). Farmers start to realize Monsanto cotton is not a good solution for them (the seeds are four time as expensive as normal seeds). They want out, but by now there normal cotton seeds are hardly available.

It was the first source I could find. There are many others if you don't like this one.

What Monsanto did here, is take an existing crop and cross-breed (?) it so it is easy to harvest. What they patented is the properties, size of the crown and the stem of the broccoli that make it easy to harvest.. The problem is that broccoli like that already is grown. Suddenly that is not allowed any more. The other problem is they also patented hybrids. So if their broccoli pollutes your open source broccoli, you're fucked. You can be sure you have to pay up. They have done that before.
