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 might steal one but I haven't decided yet. But at this rate I won't be able to pick again until next month!

Slow and sad!

Nothing worse than a rushed tourney. In the mean time you could watch your first ever 60's movie.

So far Ruddo's team is the only one I'm not crazy about, so this is going to be tough.

Madeline Kahn is the only name I recognize on Malloy's list. Makes me feel like an asshole.

Putting Out of Sight ahead of Fight Club means you're on your own, pal!
Gotta respect your unwavering love for Fight Club. I feel like it has taken backlash in recent years for widespread appeal more than anything. It's akin to folks dismissing Tool because their fans like to pretend the music is deeper than it really is.

Still, one of my fav. movies of all time.

LV would have picked Batman vs Superman or Spring Breakers with his first pick.
