I saw Air at a packed theatre. It was really bland and boring. Mediocre at best. I did liked the 4.3 aspect ratio and the production design.

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.

the comedian hosting this year is not funny.

I’m sure they thought he’d be a safe bet to not go full Gervais on the crowd.

boring.

Sorry to hear that. My wife and I went to see Jo Koy here in Oslo, and we loved his show.
