Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

did you like it

[wease]

I’ve still never seen it.

Robocop (original). Completely different movie from the last time I watched it in 1990.

i find that time has been kind to this flick

Malloy, you going to finish the Preston Sturges collection on Criterion before it disappears?

definitely. planning to watch McGinty tonight. cant' believe i waited so long to watch all of these.

Let's say I'm not planning to burn through that collection in the next 12 days, but I'd like a taste--which ones would be high-priority?

The Lady Eve and Sullivan's Travels

Okay I watched them both and still have 48 hours left for Sturges--any others? I thought Sullivan was better than TLE, by the way.

The Palm Beach Story !

Ended up getting drunk and eating oysters instead. Oh well.

Pale Rider

First of the movies I’ve planned on watching from 84-85. Just felt like watching it. A favorite from my teens.

[Anders]

Still enjoyable, but not the best movie. Glad they got going with westerns again with this and Silverado after a very weak period.

[Anders]

Paris, Texas

[daft twat]

Conjuring the Devil Made Me Do It. It was okay. I think it suffered from not having a central set piece.

The Manchurian Candidate. Chilling. Could've had better lead performances though. Denzel is overrated... and Liev Shreiber shouldn't have a major part in anything. It works because Demme is really good.

maybe i will in time.. dunno if i can handle another dose of this story for a while

[Rangi Guy]

Things Seen and Heard - one of those movies where each scene just gets worse and worse and then they seemingly just gave up on trying to land any type of ending
