Re: What movies are you watching?
Dungeons & Dragons was as good as everyone's been saying. Very funny. Fairly unremarkable as a Fantasy/Adventure movie, but the comedy bumps it up a few notches.
Chris Pine has some elite-level comedic timing. That beautiful sonofabitch. Hugh Grant is basically playing the same character he did in Paddington 2 and I'm all for it. He's great.

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.
