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.

Saw it once years ago, around the time it was new, and really liked it. Only got to see part of it today. Watching it with my wife, and she’s working night shift.
Thought it was an interesting first forty minutes, very different from most other movies. Can’t remember much from the first time I saw it.
