Watched Allied last night. Wasn't anything groundbreaking, but I really enjoyed it

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.

Ender's Game was really interesting. A much more complex movie than I was expecting.

Yeah that put me off for a long time too. But I'm glad I at least watched the movie.

Did genuinely love the story. Wish I'd read the sequels books before I found out about the author.

I always wondered about the Ender's Game movie. The book is a pretty amazing page turner, despite the author being a weirdo. Might have to check it out now.

The next two books (Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide) are well worth your time. Just get them for free so Card doesn't see any of your money (that's what I did). But the books themselves are tremendous and thoughtful and exciting. It's easy to separate artist from art in these cases, I think. Especially when you know he doesn't get a dime from you.

I bought my copy of Ender's Game for 30 cents in an antique store, so I fully support that idea.

Well done. I've read the four "core" Ender books and one of the Shadow series books. I did not pay for any of them. 8-)
