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.

Jennifer Aniston 's movie career. Good Girl was well received, but I don't recall many, if any, other starring roles.
