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.

Meh. The story is great but the movie is overrated
I hadn’t heard about it before. Think it was an inspirational movie. There are ways it could have been better, either with more humor, or by building the secondary characters more, but it was well worth seeing.
The Founder. Despite a couple questionable casting choices, it is a rare, very well made, mostly accurate historical movie. I still enjoyed it even though it was my third viewing.

It Starts Off OK it just becomes a bit pointless in the end. A cross between goonies and Pirates OC.
I enjoyed it. I thought it did exactly what it was supposed to. I enjoyed the nods to the ride. It’s a fun family movie, and I loved Nothing Else Matters to open it. I hadn’t looked into it at all so Jesse Plemmons was a great surprise. Emily Blunt tho - she is the two face girl from Seinfeld. I find her very attractive or very off-putting from scene to scene. When her hair got wet, I would have hit her with a shovel if she snuck up on me.
I've been watching some South Korean movies because the older I get the more it annoys me how the American culture dominates everything on TV, radio etc. I'm glad we at least have the European content quotas. Anyways here are few good ones:
Burning
1987: When the day comes
Memories of Murder
I want to be a warm and friendly person
But I don't know how to do it
