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.

Trag, did you ever see Bachelorette? Came out in 2012. Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan ( ), Rebel Wilson, Isla Fisher. I don't think a lot of people saw it or liked it very much. But I think it's fantastic. As much as I love Bridesmaids, I might prefer Bachelorette.

Haven't watched it, but it's been on my radar for a date night. I'll bump it up in the queue.

Honest question: Does your love for Jesus preclude you from enjoying some comedies? Like, do you watch Bridesmaids and have an uneasy feeling about the premarital sex and whatnot?

Not at all. I'd be a hypocrite if it did.
I just didn't think those movies were terribly funny. They had a few great bits but they were few and far between.

On a side note. Watched Doctor Strange last night. Such a boring Marvel movie

Right on. One of my close friends here is a devout Christian; his brother is actually a minister. He and his wife do a good job of turning their belief system on and off depending on their company. Like, they never make anyone feel bad when we're a little drunk and telling bawdy jokes or something. But once their kids are around, they maintain a far more G-rated vibe, and will actively not invite people over to their house whom they think might upset the example they are trying to set for their children. I admire this about them.
