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.

PTA has had three Best Picture nominations: There Will Be Blood, Phantom Thread, and Licorice Pizza. Kind of blows my mind that The Master didn't score one, it's probably my favorite of the three

According to TVG I should vote for the Oscars, so it's hard to reconcile the fact that the two PTA movies I like the least are There Will Be Blood and Phantom Thread.

I would have nominated The Master. Or wait I guess I wouldn't have according to TVG.

It's all very confusing.

Wasn't the story that The Master's obvious parallels to scientology did it in at the awards shows?
