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 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.
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.

Cells. Interlinked.
I don't know why but I loved those "checkup" scenes
