Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

[epilogue]

Hmmmm....

I'm not sure how I feel about it. I get what you're saying, trag. But I feel like it's almost always a bad sign when an artist goes back to the well. Especially after so much time has passed. Fuck it, I'll watch it.

To be honest, I'm way more excited by the new Insecure show that's coming to HBO -- that looks like it might be amazing, and it seems to cover somewhat similar territory.

I have not heard of this show. TO THE GOOGLE MACHINE!

[E.H. Ruddock]

What's this movie about, Ruddo?

I have no idea

Did you watch the trailer? I think it looks great.

I did not. Because I'm at work and I don't have sound on this computer. But I will watch it when I get home.

Predictably, the new Tom Ford movie looks stylish and lush and precise in its cinematography and art design but the dialogue and story sound dour and self-serious to the point of hilarity.

I think it looks outstanding.

I was a big fan of A Single Man too, though.

[Jorge]

He's an undeniable talent as a designer and visual stylist. I admire him a lot. But this movie looks a little ridiculous from the trailer. We'll see.

[epilogue]

Yeah, it hooked me in all the right places. I get what you mean about the dialogue. But I think (hope) that's just weird pulls for the ad and not indicative of what's actually there in the movie. We'll say I'm cautiously optimistic about the dialogue. But you could be totally right.

The rest of it... yeah, I'm all in.

A Single Man was one of the most laughably awful movies I've ever seen.

I don't understand that. Unless you're a liar and you've only seen three films. And the other two were Barton Fink and Birdman.

Out of the thousands of movies I've seen, I've only ever given a handful of F grades. That's one of them.
