Bitter? No. Old? Getting there. Yelling at clouds? Not even once, even though live in Oregon.
What's my complaint? Not really a complaint but when you realize that National Geographic is owned by Disney and DreamWorks used to be under Disney's umbrella, it's not a big stretch that there may be people at DreamWorks who have connections at Disney and can get a story idea planted. I'm not even sure that's cynicism. I think it's just an understanding of how the world often works.
