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.

What an awful mess.
I love Minority Report. Spielberg at his finest, working in digital for the first time, Cruise doing another scarred character and i saw there for the first time someone touching the screen to move things.
And fuckin Samantha Morton! Colin Farrel! Max Von Sydow!!

Pretty much exactly what I was expecting. Beautiful scenery, cinemotography, and good acting in an interesting setting. Nothing spectacular beyond that.

This lady at work keeps calling it "The Remnant" and it's pissing me off.
