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.

Good not great. Loved seeing a female coming of age movie actually written and directed by a woman. That's refreshing. Great characters. Solid writing. Loved the subjects and themes tackled. But as a film it just didn't quite come together. It was missing cinematic elements. It should have been written and directed by a man.

I'm really surprised you said this, durds.

Given our differences in matters like these, would you recommend it to me? Will I like it?

I almost watched this last night. Hmm, maybe I'll look for something else. You going to see the new Madea movie, LV?

Ehh, doesn't strike me as something you'd love.
