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.

Looks fuckin incredible.

Yea, I think this could be really great. Also excited for Trainspotting 2. There's a teaser that rolled out this morning -- no real footage or anything, but I'm psyched.

there is a full trailer.

Ah, just saw it. For some reason the article I saw didn't actually have the trailer embedded. But yea, that looks great (at least it does if you loved the first movie).

I don't get the internet.

People love to conflate "greatest" with "most profitable."
And Last Crusade is NOT fart noise.
