Charlie Day's recently released movie, Fool's Paradise, which he wrote and directed and stars in is a massive flop. I'm mildly interested in watching it for the schadenfreude.

I don't really have any feelings about him. Beef is not necessary for schadenfreude.

Can anyone tell me what movie this image is from?

I remember randomly coming across this scene on TV as a kid and it terrifying the shit out of me. For years, I've been trying to find out what movie it was, only to see this tweet just now.

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.
