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 just read some fucked up shit about "Stalker". Apparently was filmed in an abandoned power plant, and everything around was poisoned with chemicals. Due to a development error of the film after filming, they had to reshoot. The director, his wife, and the lead actor, all who spent the most time on set due to reshoots, all got cancer and died.

Ruddo, have you seen Fantastic Planet? I'm watching it now and it seems like something you'd enjoy.

I thought I had seen it, but I got it confused with Clan of the Cave Bear.
