Spielberg is close to being my favorite director, but he needs to stop pulling shit like this.

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.

I liked Tin TIn. Would have made a much better Indiana Jones flick instead of that abomination they ended up making.

It's a wonderful book though and a treasured one. Can understand why he'd want to try adapt it. Even though it's way below his pay grade in terms of content.

Akira is on tv in 20 minutes.

I haven't seen it since my teens. And I loved it.

Should I watch?
Afraid it'll have dated badly

The new Underworld movie was underwhelming, although the final battle scene was pretty fun.
