I think my dream would be to have a house designed like the Wallace corporation. All straight lines and water... And bleakness.

It made a lot more sense this time around. I kinda lost the plot the first time, but it was a lot simpler than I thought. The one eyed lady said some stuff that really confused me.

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.

Come on, that's pretty mild. But I'm sorry all the same.
I'll forget it by the time I actually see the film. ;)

This movie still hasn't left me. I find myself thinking about every day. It was such a true joy to see in theaters. I have no idea what kind of replay value it'll have, but that one single experience was one of the best I've ever had in a cinema. This is in contention for my favorite film of the year.

I am excited to buy this one. I don't buy movies any more, but this one I will, and will watch the hell out of it.

I thought the sets were beautiful. Too often, I see sets that are supposed to look dirty or rusted out or broken down but that actually look plastic and new and purposefully faded and stressed. The old, dusty, rusty shit in this movie really looks like old, dusty, rusty shit.

I agree..so much. The experience of seeing this one that night in IMAX was incredible. A work of art.

I wanted to like this so much. It obviously looks amazing and it has a little more substance than the first but I just can’t get into it.
