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.

You're just saying that because you work for a bank.

I actually lol'd quite a bit. I love baby goose so much

Not an amazing movie by any stretch, and I felt sort of hoodwinked by the daughter's role -- I had no idea she was part of the story. But this was a very fun way to kill a couple hours, now I'm wondering if I should give KKBB another shot.

Pretty good. Kinda bland, but I guess that fits.

Well, at first it was exactly what i thought....a referencial kind of movie, something we all saw before with better star and a better director. Then it changed, the ending is superb, the acting goes from pretty mediocre to ok to good and the director shows its cinematic chops.

Even if its overrated, man...that ending....It really, really got me.
