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.

Plus, plenty of movies by the same director have their own threads. What a strange request, trag. Fuck your merge

Again, plenty of other directors have multiple film threads for each individual movie. Why are you singling these out? Weird!

ok, but directors with more than just a few movies, like the C brothers, have movies with their own threads. So again, why this? Sad!
