It's definitely The Final Cut, though honestly all of the cuts are massively flawed.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Arguably one of the most overrated movies ever. An amazing aesthetic and some great ideas, but kind of a failure of a movie overall, IMO.

I tend to agree with this.

I don't know how people find the first one slow or inert. It's a really great movie.

Agree to disagree, trag. You know, for a change.

I love the first one. Its a masterpiece...too slow? maybe...who cares really, when everything you are watching is so cool. How many movies stole from BR? Cmon.
The sequel is another masterpiece.

I need to see it again soon.

This movie was spectacular and I'm really glad I saw it in the theater. The few things I didn't like were massively overshadowed by the successes. Some scenes were outright awe-inducing. I'm gonna have to see it again as well.

Wait, why is Avon Barksdale in this? Did he have a bigger part and it was cut down or something?
