I love Keri Russell and Jesse Plemmons, and they were great, but I was mostly bored by Antlers. It was OK.

I don't watch much anymore, but if there is something I want to see that's only available on a platform I don't pay for, I'll dl it off pirate bay.

Yeah - since I had kids, I don't get out much anymore, so usually wait till movies are available to torrent

Oh - and if theres's a show I want to watch on a platform I don't subscribe to

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 don't mind him. He's like a less cool yet more personable Chevy Chase.

I don't see anything remotely personable about him. He's completely artificial to me.

Nobody likes him. That's what's so baffling. He's a poor man's Dane Cook.

In reading about Bruce Willis I had heard the name Broadway Brawler at some point in time but never looked in to the full story of the attempted films failure, interesting rise from the ashes:
The implosion of the production was largely attributed to Willis's actions and behavior, leaving him in a difficult position with The Walt Disney Company, Cinergi's parent company for whom the film was being shot. Willis was facing a $17.5 million lawsuit. To offset this loss to the company, William Morris Agency president Arnold Rifkin brokered a deal for their client with Disney producer Joe Roth, who convinced Willis to take a three-picture deal with Disney, at a greatly reduced salary, which Willis agreed to. The first film of this agreement was Armageddon, for which Willis received $3 million, a significant pay cut from his normal asking price of $20 million. The difference would cover the money lost on Broadway Brawler.

After this, Willis starred in The Sixth Sense and Disney's The Kid, thus closing out the remainder of the deal. These three movies together grossed $1.3 billion worldwide.
