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 think some of their other characters are better written, some of their stories have more of an intimate or epic feel, and they've gotten better performances out of some actors, but I'll never back down from TBL.

As far as bowling movies from the 90s go, Kingpin is better.

I've only ever watched like 20% of Kingpin; it'll go on my watch list.

oh man it's so good

Is only about as 60% as good as Big Lebowski

You're being generous.

It's a completely ridiculous comparison; The Big Lebowski is head and shoulders above it.

Still not even close to being the best Coens movie though.

But stuff like Blue Ruin and It Follows are the types of indie movies that are doing it right. They're doing unique and interesting things.
