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.

Three Colors: Blue
Into the Blue

I am Curious: Blue
Blue Jasmine
Blue Crush
Blue Valentine
Blue Collar
Blue Thunder
Deep Blue Sea
Blue Hawaii
Betty Blue
Blue Ruin
The Big Blue

A lot of good movies seem to have the word "blue" in the title - I like all of those but the bottom five.

Completely. It's a modern Karate Kid. It uses a tight Hollywood script, fantastic camera work, and performances ranging from serveicable-to-great to tell a classic underdog story, only this time it's featuring beautiful women, some solid depictions of surf culture, and carries an understated feminism. It's so easily enjoyable, and it succeeds nearly perfectly at what it set out to do. I love it unabashedly.

What? I'm not that into Lynch, but Lost Highway really turns my crank.
