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 also enjoyed his movie Eggs.

Stayed home this wet Saturday night and finally watched I’m Thinking About Ending Things.
I haven’t had such mixed feelings about a movie in a long while. I can see why some people hated and thought it was slow and boring but the performances are fantastic. There’s thought provoking, well done scenes that are, well, Kaufmanesque. And a trippy, loopy final sequence.

Post op I've watched
Army of the Dead
The Conjuring - The Devil Made Me Do It
The Wrath of Man
Percy vs Goliath
Dora and the Lost City of Gold

The Conjuring could have been better, but was still enjoyable. Dora.....well the kids enjoyed it
All the others were excellent

The Little Things

I wanted to like it and declare it to be better than everyone said it was. But no, it was pretty dull and boring.

I really don't like Rami Malek

Dull. Would have preferred Soul again
