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.

My BF went to the Alamo screening.
Spoiler: show
Get ready for lots of timeline jumping. There's a set of police station interviews like the original series (about 10 years later) and another set of interviews/flashbacks from about 30 years later. :?

What's the point of even spending the money I have to spend to live in this goddamn city if I don't get advanced screenings to True Detective S3??!
