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.

this is part of why the movie should be read as a really great satire

We both enjoyed it. My wife thought it was much better than Into The Wild, I disagree.

Maybe it is easier to answer with one specific movie, than for 2000 movies. I was looking to get 2007 up to around 40 movies to watch, and this is one of the last I bought. It had what seemed like an interesting premise, I had never seen it, it had good reviews, a 7,4 ranking on IMDB, and two actors I really enjoy. My wife is also a specialised nurse for terminally ill cancer patients. She might want to escape that at home sometimes (or while on vacation), but I had a feeling she would enjoy this, and she did.

We’re still on vacation in Tenerife, but with a two year old to look after (we won’t leave her in the hotel apartment alone). Had a long wonderful day swimming at the beach together, a nice restaurant dinner, and now the kid is sleeping. So we finished this, after doing everything else we had planned.

Never seen it before. I do love Tom Hanks though.
