Dead Zone is OUTSTANDING.
I get why some rubes wouldnt like Cosmopolis but i cant even understand why you dont like Maps. Its almost a companion piece to spring breakersLoathedVermin72 wrote:eXistenZ is terrible.

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 felt the same way half an hour into Joy. Holy hell that is a terrible movie. I wish I could say I was biased or something against the performers but I really like all of them in other works, it's just that this one movie was a total shit show. There was no reason for this story to be told in a movie, especially dramatised like that. Ugh.tragabigzanda wrote:omg my only hope is a power outage.
