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.

This got me thinking... If Reservoir Dogs is "grunge", what about all the other kinds of movies?

Don’t think the first two are rated up there with the last two avengers or the first two from the Dark Knight series, and other top movies (Ragnarok, Black Panther, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Zack Snyder’s Justice League) but they are still well liked movies.

However, the third one is considered quite poor.

Below all the Marvel movies and above all the DC except for Wonder Woman and Batman Begins.

My youngest loved the first two Paddington movies. Thinking he'll probably be too old by the time the third one comes out. Makes me a little sad.

As a 38 year old man who just declared his love for the Paddington movies, should I be insulted by this comment?
