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.

Is...is Ezra Miller starting a cult? This reads like a mix of Jaden Smith and David Koresh.

Criterion’s new Ingmar Bergman’s Cinema box set is the greatest home video release of all time. I can’t believe I own this. I feel like a criminal having paid only $150 for it. If you care AT ALL about physical media (or cinema in general), do not sleep on this.

Not EVERY movie, no. Face to Face is not included. It contains 39 films (though I believe that's counting Scenes from a Marriage and Fanny and Alexander twice since it includes both the theatrical and television versions of each).

Problem with Noir is you kinda already know the ending. They feel more like exercises than movies.
