Orph, did you love Drive? Did you enjoy Only God Forgives? Did you like his other stuff? Will you check this one out in the theater?

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.

No, you're right. I should try to temper my enthusiasm more. Not everything is "great" or "the worst."
Sexy Beast is a strong film from what I remember. It's been forever since I've seen it, though.

I've never been a fan. Talk about your flat visuals.

Yeah, I don't know man. A lot of those images have stuck with me all these years. Plus it had dynamic characters and great dialogue to make up for any lack of cinematography. Great performances.
