Kubrick.
It seems that great directors are at least decent from the start. Makes me think there is some innate talent required.

I can't think of one that made a truly awful first film. Maybe james Cameron with Piranha 2, but I've never seen 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.

It looks great, I wish there was more content though. It also completely ruins my data cap. I usually only watch it towards the end of my billing period.

You're telling me. It is the only way I could get decent internet for less than 60 or 70 bucks a month. It is usually not an issue but it is total bullshit.
It's only a matter of time before decent internet is a utility, right?!

It bums me out that Shelley Duvall has been in need of help for so long, and that her mental health is now being exploited

Seeing this tomorrow. Free tix from my old workplace. The kids will probably love it.
