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.

Been a while since I watched two different movies back to back in the theater, and these seem pretty different from each other
this feels so weird. How could you watch ZOI then immediately be like "ok, now time for a racing soap opera!"?
Wow.

Done with all significant rewatches from the year 2020 now (and probably all I will do). Best movies I’ve seen so far is The Father, The Kid Detective and Promising Young Woman.

2020 top ten (from about 50 movies):
1. The Father
2. The Kid Detective
3. Promising Young Woman
4. Den Største Forbrytelsen
5. Soul
6. Trial Of The Chicago 7
7. Escape From Pretoria
8. Onward
9. Mank
10. Tenet

Now on to more than 100 I haven’t seen (streaming, owned or any other way of watching them).

I hope Jorge's having a great time at his double feature today

I'll tell you which 'zone' my interest will be in:
Spoiler: show
The one that contains his thoughts on those two movies!

Have a great night, everyone.
