I prefer badguywins to the excessive optimism and honeysweet ending that are common among those which issue forth from Hollywood.

Depends how the 'bad guy wins'. I get really annoyed and fed up with all these realistic-ish political movies like Syriana where the whole point of the movie is not to show the furtherance of any good, but the evil in the world. I realize that often this is the truth, and I know that if I don't like movies like this I should just not watch them, but nevertheless I get tired of getting shnookered into seeing what it advertised as entertainment and instead end up watching some depressing movie about corruption. I don't mind movies where the bad guys wins, per se, it's just the ones that pound the hopelessness of the human condition into the brain that really tick me off.

Well, as far as depressing movies about corruption go, I was very fond of Revenge of the Sith.

The world is indeed a happy, fluffy place lacking in dilemmas or complexity or anything that requires much thought, and as such ALL films should of course reflect this.
