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.

I'm not sure I like that idea.. with more support, though, we can consider it
I'm thinking as far as constraints go, maybe we could do genres? Like maybe one pick per genre? Could be difficult deciding what an official genre for a movie is though

i was thinking either genre or by decade.

I like the decade idea. How about we each pick a movie from 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00's, and 10s? And then 2 actors and one director? Genres would get too hairy probably.
