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.

Damn, just watched the Red Sparrow trailer and that does look awesome.
I am so happy Francis Lawrence is doing something interesting. He is maybe one of the best stylists around these days, but he has been tied up in shitty material for years.
I know boring about Francis Lawrence. But the cast alone has me interested in Red Sparrow.

The Criterion sale is going on right now. I'm thinking of grabbing Lord of the Flies, Time Bandits, Watership Down, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, and Stalker.

I find it hard to get excited about Criterion releases since I got into 4K. :(

Once you've seen 4K, Blu-ray just ain't the same.

I also enjoy smearing Vaseline on my glasses when I watch a movie.

Film directors should definitely have input on the sequels to novels that their forthcoming hit films are based on.

Exactly. And it was announced before Silence of the Lambs (the film) came out. Seems idiotic to me.

Batman + Soundtrack is something that won't happen again for a long time, I think.
