Movies I won't see but that make me think

Megan McArdle has a fascinating post on status hierarchies - but it's still not enough to make me see a movie about Donkey Kong. We're all part of networks of hierarchies - good or bad at all sorts of things that no one else really cares about.

An odd point - I picked up the post through Net News Wire (where I have my daily reads saved). I usually just click and open blogs in a new window, but for some reason I skimmed through this one in NNW, the newest version of which seems to display a few revisions and additions - some sentences will be picked out in green, for instance, and there will be a few strike-throughs in red. I'm not sure if NNW is showing me just the last couple of versions of the post or what. I learned that Megan has trouble with Sweden, too - she struck it out and retyped it without altering it. That Nordic nation is one of my spelling problems, too. Imagine the semester I'm going to have with this course, BiDis 291: Medieval Art & Literature - the Vikings.
