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.

Ending 2023 with the final rewatches from 2019.

Seen Ad Astra, Booksmart, US, and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

Plan to watch 1917, Parasite, Ford vs Ferrari, Sound Of Metal, Spider-Man: Far From Home, & Avengers Endgame, before the end of the year.

Apart from Spider-Man, all some of my favorite movies from 2019.

I wish that Neal and Eady got like seven more minutes to flesh out their relationship. Just like 2-3 early scenes to establish why he’s so taken with her
Its also fleshed out in the book, his reasons and choices behind Neal.
