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 honestly could not care less about this, especially after the absolute duds that were Dunkirk and Tenet

Dunkirk is on Hulu now, so I will watch it. I don’t have any expectations one way or the other.

Didn't Dunkirk do quite well? What's your beef with the Dunk, Jorge?

Also how many shots of Murphy being surprised or bummed that he is actually making a bomb we are going to get?

I'm a big fan of Murphy, so I'll watch this, but this isn't a story I am interested in.

Because I already know the story. It just isn't that interesting to me. But I also didn't need to know the story of Barbie and Ken, yet here we are.
