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.

Watched Demon Knight, Bordello of Blood, and Avengers Grimm in the span of 12 hours. I don't think I hate myself, but I'm not making a great case for it.
Charlie Kaufman's Anomalisa, his film with a stop motion animation style similar to Polar Express crossed with Coraline. I liked it, definitely had some CK touches, but doubt I will re-watch it anytime soon. Less than 90 minutes but still felt a little long at times.

I didn't say I didn't like them, just that they're "bad" movies.
Except for Avengers Grimm. Holy shit, someone saw Once Upon a Time and The Avengers and said, "It's like peanut butter and jelly!" except it's more like peanut butter and really piss-poor acting and writing. It's actually bad.

yeah me too, the first one is pretty great..i mean fuckin Billy Zane right?
Fuck yeah, he's the best part of that movie. Funnily enough I watched The Phantom a few days before and that movie was a lot better than it's release date would have you believe.
