Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

Nice!

[LoathedVermin72]

That's great, but I'm skeptical about how good it will be after the weak For Your Consideration.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

for your consideration is definitely not on the level of his previous works, but i still enjoyed it

[BurtReynolds]

i don't think i ever saw that one.

[LoathedVermin72]

Yeah, it's not like it's bad or anything - just mediocre, and it showed that Guest is fallible.

It's really good. It has a lot more heart and honesty than his others. It's not as funny as the previous films but it's actually about something. Guest gets a little more serious. The scene work is still wonderful. But don't expect to laugh like an asshole for an hour and a half.

Guys, Joey just informed me they are making The Dark Tower stuff into a movie. This is fantastic.

[epilogue]

Hopefully. They've been trying for a long time. And it's been in several stages of development many times before. Sounds like it might really stick this time, though. They have a director and a distributor. And casting looks like it's taking shape. So... fingers crossed.

Just found out that my theater is gonna be playing the roadshow version of The Hateful Eight in 70mm, so that's cool.

[epilogue]

What's the roadshow version?

[LoathedVermin72]

What's the roadshow version?

It's longer, edited a little differently, and has an intermission. Also, it comes out a week earlier than the regular theatrical version.

And projected in 70mm, if I'm reading it right. Thanks for turning me on to this, I might do this.

Correct. All the theaters showing it on Christmas are projecting it in full 70mm film.
