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.

no surprise, but i liked that one
robbie was great as always, but the characters could have been fleshed out more...i didn't think chris pine's element worked very well...afterward i read that the book doesn't include that character, and it sounded way more interesting with the other two's dynamic

thinking of wind river - i can't decide how i ultimately view jeremy renner...i don't think he's ever been remotely bad in anything i've seen, or absolutely incredible...though i am generally interested when i see his name attached to something, and i think i'd consider him better than just dependable or effective

I felt that way too to a point, but I love Chris Pine in anything, so it kinda evened out.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence

It was OK. Parts of it I loved, but it was a pretty mixed bag.

Would have loved to see a Kubrick version of this.
