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.

Interesting that The Beekeeper is doing better than Mean Girls, which i thought it was a hit.

It's simple. If your movie has bees in it, it's a hit.

It is simple, if your movie has Jason Statham in it, it is a hit.

I like Henry Cavill but things rarely seem to work out for him. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare looks sorta interesting I hope its good. I guess he's doing Highlander next. That's one of those 80's lightening in a bottle movies that should be forever left alone. Everything that came after it was various levels of crap. I guess I liked the show occasionally. I'm rooting for Henry's remake but I'm not sure its a good idea.
