Ghostbusters is hardly one of the best films of the year, though. Not even close.

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.

McDonagh is a brilliant writer. His theatrical work is spellbinding and powerful. I love the cast. I've heard nothing but good things about the film. I can't imagine disliking it on any level. But I'll let you know once I've seen it. Maybe I'll make that my RM Film Club pick.

i like the idea of going with something you haven't seen...i've thought about either doing that, or choosing something that's highly lauded but i either didn't like or found underwhelming
