My favorite movie-going experience of the year:

A screening of some cinema verite Kennedy docs and a panel featuring D.A. Pennebaker. Walked away with a free Blu-ray and tote bag, too

Read the book and it was brilliant.

Halfway though the film and its suspense/scary thrill ride.

Well worth looking up.
They made a movie from that POS?
The book and film were written in tandem, with Carey also writing the screenplay, which was placed on the 2014 Brit List, a film-industry-compiled list of the best unproduced screenplays in British film.
Oh, well, with that in mind I guess I can see how the book was structured the way it was. The characterizations screamed, "I can't write effective dialogue or exposition so I'm going to use tropes out the ass."

I didn't like the book, no.

Watched Sing yesterday. There were some moments I liked, but there were also a lot of moments where I was wondering why the movie was so long.

Watching Richard II right now and it's brilliant. I've not seen Shakespeare performed and so maybe a play would be better suited but this is pretty good thus far. It's easy (ish) to follow though at times I have to play the words/sentences over in my head for the 'fancy' definitions and wordplay.

Can't wait to follow through with the other six 'episodes'/plays.

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.

The Weird Al song? Yeah, it's okay. It's a pretty decent style parody for sure. What movie is it in though?
