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.

All I've learned from RM today is that I don't have a tremendous love for Ocean movies. Apparently.

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about Capturing the Friedmans.tragabigzanda wrote:I'm all for non-judgmental cinema (Capturing the Friedmans and Julien Donkey-Boy are both good examples), but these are kids in a potentially dangerous situation -- the filmmakers should have raised some red flags.
While, yes, it's a great film and there was undoubtedly some coerced testimony against them, it was also clear that the father "liked" young children. I do feel it may have been a bit too sympathetic towards the Friedmans.
