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.

Spider is terrible. Existenz is kinda entertaining.

This was my hunch. I like the premise behind Existenz a lot.
