Assuming my friend gets here on time I'll be seeing Burn After Reading at Alamo Drafthouse today. And we're thinking of making a double feature seeing They Live later. I've never seen They Live.

count how many times someone rips their own face off. There are exponentially more faces ripped-off in John Woo's Mission Impossible II than there are in John Woo's movie about ripping off faces, Face/Off.
It's not until MI3 that the series start taking the face mask thing seriously

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.
