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.

It was a weird reference to hear in the film is what I’m saying.
Watched it again. I really liked it. Loads of fun. Mendo is a wonderful actor for villains.

This is how I feel. Was like a late 80s early 90s blockbuster. Same old good feeling.Stickman wrote:Just got back from seeing this. Had no idea it had been a book. And i'm not a gamer.
Ridiculously entertaining. Lots of laughs, tons of pop culture references, great action, incredible visuals. I'd go see it again.
