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.

Why can't Scorcese end his movies? They are amazing but then they just go on and on until I'm tired of them.

Every scene with Jonah Hill was fun. Also Leo snorting coke out of that girl's ass at the beginning? That was fun too.
But that totaled maybe 15 minutes in a movie that I otherwise found to suck.
You didn't like the scene where Leo tried to drive home?

I don't watch wrestling much, but the behind the scenes business and culture is utterly fascinating. Such broken, drug addicted people sacrificing themselves for such a bizarre niche of entertainment...

I had to look her up on Google, but damn is she hot.
I'm sitting here thinking, why is that name familiar? Isn't that Matt Parkman's mannish partner on Heroes? *Googles* Yup. She's better looking as a brunette, at least.
