This has been getting a lot of press in Boston this week and everyone is saying it's fantastic.

Really looking forward to this. Love Tom McCarthy (hoping The Cobbler was an inexplicable misstep).

This was good. Fantastic, subtle performance by Schreiber. Ruffalo was also great (as always), even if he just reprised his role from The Normal Heart. I do think the movie never quite found the appropriate tone; I like McCarthy a lot, but I think this material needed someone to elevate it to a level of existential dread, closer to something like All the President's Men. Not sure who that would be, though. Howard Shore's lightweight score also felt out of place and distracting. But, still, overall, very good. Some excellent stretches of dialogue.

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.
