Is a great movie. It tries to do many things, and its successful in most of them. But the main thing for me is how it loves its characters.

The cast is really good.

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 love 1, seemingly more than most. Thank you durdz tho. I just have a difficult time ranking it among the last stretch since they are such a different animal. 2 is definitely last and I only saw 3 once, but from what I recall I'd be surprised if I'd put it over the previous 3 or 4.

yeah, great scene. I was shocked.
