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.

Re: Post Random Movie-Related Thoughts You Have
Bill Hader has good taste, I guess. Here's his Criterion top ten. He puts two Kurosawa movies in a tie for first and includes a Jarmusch and a Melville, so, yeah, I guess he's OK

Bill Hader wrote:When I first saw Mona Lisa, I had no idea who Bob Hoskins was (I was eight). I honestly thought they paid some low-rent criminal money to be in this movie. He was so believable that when I saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I was like “Hey, that guy really turned his life around. This movie is huge. Good for him.”

I've been in the US for three weeks now and been to the movie theater hree or four times, and it trips me up that movie tickets are sold at the concession stands now. Like my brain can't make sense of it
