Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

[Anders]

Agreed, the ending of the movie is better.

[Farmer John]

I remember that first attack scene being pretty spectacular.

[BurtReynolds]

I like The Revenant. Really interesting mad max-like time period.

Mad Max: Fury Road

[Anders]

This movie is almost like one endless action scene. It works, and is beautifully shot, but there’s also a limit to how great it can be with so little story.

It’s probably another top ten movie from 2015 for me, which is certainly not bad. Had fun watching it again.

[Anders]

Creed

Think I’ve only seen this once. Thought it was one of the best films in the Rocky universe.

[Anders]

Yes, this is still good. Michael B. Jordan with a fine performance.

Inside Out

Good movie to watch with my daughter.

We’re enjoying it, certainly on different levels, but no negative reactions from her.

About halfway through, but she’s going to bed now, so we won’t know today how it will go.

Inside Out is another that didn't fully click with me. And I was very much surprised given the description

[BurtReynolds]

I liked the message.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Yes.

At the theater waiting for Sisu to start. I haven't watched any trailers or clips so I'm not really sure what to expect.
