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.

The Argonaut wrote:Amsterdam was as bad as I was expecting it to be. Just irredeemably poor. A lazy and foolish story, poorly told. I don't usually understand what people mean when they say "good editing". If I don't notice the editing, it's good editing. If I notice the editing and it's beautiful or affecting, that's just good cinema. This was bad editing. I was often confused about the physical space the characters were in and where they were in that space. How did you just get here from there? And what just happened? Why did the movie just break out into song at this moment, that doesn't fit. Just a bad movie all around. What a pity

I knew the guy was a terrible director with shit for brains, but I wasn't aware that David O Russell was also a creep. I just read the Wikipedia. Can we cancel this guy? We will be losing nothing if he fucks off and goes away. Also how was he able to get all these stars to work with him on this movie? What do they see in him? I honestly do not get it

I wasn't aware of the extent of his creepiness. Trigger warning: sexual assault, general cuntery.

"In December 2011, Russell's 19-year-old transgender niece, Nicole Peloquin, filed a police report alleging Russell had sexually assaulted her. The case was closed without any charges being filed because the alleged assault wasn't witnessed by police.[114] According to the police report, Russell offered to help Peloquin with abdominal exercises, during which his hand hovered above her genitals. After inquiring about the hormones she used to increase breast size, Russell slipped his hands under her shirt and felt both breasts.

Russell confirmed that the incident happened, but told police that Peloquin was "acting very provocative toward him" and invited him to feel her breasts. He also admitted to being "curious about the breast enhancement." This incident was also directly mentioned in the 2014 Sony Pictures hack.[115]"

He also assaulted Clooney in '98 and Nolan in '03. Must have some powerful friends!

I like a few of his movies, but I still think someone should break his hands, knees.
