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.

"Ex Machina". Surprisingly satisfying.

Revisited Young Adult.

My god, that movie is depressing...i love it. Charlize Theron is great with a character that might be the worst human being ever.

Bone Tomahawk. The actors were great. The faux Tarantino dialogue had me nervous during the intro but it rounded into shape after that. I was glad they didn't take the brutality as far as they could have with certain characters.

MI3 is my favorite of the series, and the only JJ film that I think has great replay value.
You are on to something here, good sir. You can jump into this movie at any point and still enjoy it.

Been meaning to watch this for a while, just haven't found the time. I'm interested to see Patton Oswalt's performance, too.
He is alright. Im wasnt impressed by him, i mean his character is pretty much what you expect from Patton Oswalt.

After having been on my watch list since it was originally released, I watched Waltz with Bashir this weekend. Overall, it was captivating--lots of arresting images, and I was a fan of the disjointed/semi-confessional/sort-of-documentary style, but in the end I wish there was a little bit more connective tissue. But recommended, it's only like 86 minutes long.

Watched both Ghostbusters films last weekend. Hadn't seen either since seeing them in the theater. I thought they both held up pretty well.

Ninja Turtles 2.

That was ok, i loved how close to the animated series it was, with fucking Krang in it. The movie its a mess, it never stops, the action sequences are messy and weird, but i still had fun.

I actually saw that one in a theatre when it came out.
The first one too...i was a really big Ninja Turtles fan, and The Secret of the ooze was my favorite...so, im happy with the approach Bay is giving them, more close to the cartoon than anything else...Man, to see Krang! and Bebop and Rocksteady...it was cool.

1st one absolutely holds up. It's a classic.

2 misses the mark but its still enjoyable.
