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 can't think of a bigger disappointment than the various Eddie Murphy comebacks over the years. I think I'll pass.

I don't like him and I'm not entirely sure why. I think maybe it was the trailer for Don Jon.
I adore Joseph Gordon Levitt.

I have not seen Don Jon.

I thought that came out in 1997. I will amend my question - Has he made a good movie in the last 23 years?

He had built up a little good will since The Snyder Cut was at least better than the other one.

But this looks terrible and soooooo boring.
