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.

sell me on it
It's like Ghostbusters or Gremlins or Beverly Hills Cop: it holds up really fucking well years after the fact. It's both scary and fun. And the plot is off and running within 15 minutes.
even though i don't get scared i want something that might make me pee my pants...will this make me pee my pants?

Werewolf is way more horror-oriented than those other movies, I'd say. But it's really a singular beast (no pun intended). I love it.

And I don't even like Oasis
Lots of big laughs during this one. I recommend it

Also, Rivers Cuomo sat in front of me in the theater which was cool

Watched Irish horror flick "The Canal" last night, actually pretty good despite:

Spoiler: show
ripping off Ringu's signature effect at the end there

Ambivalence.

In general, I tend to find him underwhelming. But his sports related movies tend to be really strong.

i don't think he's this amazing actor or anything, but he has a certain presence that i find appealing...he seems to be passionate about his work and the business as well

He also pretty much invented whisper-acting. Which is pretty cool.

Absolutely watch it, yes. He's not amazing in it or anything. But he's fine. He doesn't do an accent. Big whoop. But the rest of the movie more than makes up for whatever he lacks. It's a good movie.

I look forward to your thoughts. It's been at least a decade since I've seen it. So, it may not really hold up. But I remember it being really solid, for the most part. I saw it several times in theaters and then on home video, too.

i've heard rickman is great, but the film overall is kinda meh...my expectations aren't high, but i hope to find it at least somewhat enjoyable
