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.

Jack Black is terrible, but I didn't mind him in that one scene.

I also thought Orange County was a not bad movie. And Bernie, while very flawed, showcases a more restrained performance. But a lot of his stuff (like Tenacious D) really grates on me.

Envy? I fucking love that movie. It's so, SO bad. Christopher Walken is the best part of it, hands down. But, yeah, Jack Black's fine in that too. Man what a terrible movie.

Yeah, that movie is bad, but I remember laughing at Jack Black.
