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.

Anchorman 2 was his last good movie (specifically the version with the subplot where Anchorman raises a baby shark)

Did he take movie promotion advice from Seth Rogan? Or is this some kind of Netflix strategy?

You ever look at the Roku screensaver and point out all the hidden movie Easter eggs in it?

There ought to be a law about how many trailers the theatre is allowed to play before the movie. They always do two too many. It's a bunch of trailers that people sit through quietly. Then one where they complain and seem perplexed that the movie hasn't started yet. Then one where they get angry and restless and start talking. And then continue talking over the beginning of the movie. It's up to twenty-five minutes of trailers recently around here, it's insane

Three is good. Gives me time to be a little late. And I like the trailers. But twenty five minutes is insane. A few weeks ago, I was at a theatre where the movie started thirty-two minutes after the scheduled start time. That should be a crime. Someone needs to pay for that
