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 kept wondering who the dollar store Halle Berry in this was, so I looked her up and it turns out it was Halle Berry. Huh.
Oh man. Moonfall was so terrible. I avoided it for the longest time because I knew it would be, but I finally gave in. I thought this would be right up your alley, Burt, with the alien base inside the moon, etc.

The entire movie is just propaganda to discredit moon disk theory.

I'm really excited to see this. Hopefully it shows out here in the sticks at some point.
