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.

Really? I feel it's difficult to enjoy the brutality. Not a fan of slapstick, I guess.tragabigzanda wrote:

He was making fun of my depth, trag. It's a running joke.tragabigzanda wrote:It depends on the case, but in this case I disagree completely. That tarantula-on-the-face scene, with Daniel Stern's bloodcurdling scream, is the pinnacle of the third act of the movie; they've spent like 90 minutes building up to that joke, with the iron-mark on Stern's face a good indication of where the viewer has already been. That scene would not get the same reaction if it were placed even one minute earlier in the movie. 90 minutes of fairly complex (given the genre/audience) buildup to that punchline is the definition of depth.theplatypus wrote:Slapstick is not very deep
