I need to look at that Miles doc

Is the Q doc the one that has Rashida and her sister in it?

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.

Why? What has he done that should cause her to paint him differently?

If we’re bashing Rashida, her puritanical anti-porn views are surely more deserving fodder

well this is kind of where my initial criticism originates: If she's gonna make a whole doc about shaming girls who do porn, shouldn't she also be critical of her dad's womanizing?

I don’t remember if this is where he spilled the beans on Richard Pryor and Brando fucking.
