By all means give vent to your anger, let it out in nondestructive ways--if you are still deciding to have it.

But anger, that hurtful emotional response to obstacles, can be eliminated.

I think movies do play a valuable role in turning people on to the act of reading. I think that phenomenon just creates readers.
