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.

Will Farrell and Julia Louis.....

This was marketed way wrong and I have a feeling that the Studio maybe had no clue what to do with it? Or maybe they thought they were getting a classic slapstick will farrel comedy?

This was more along the lines of Everything Must Go? maybe?

It was a bit touching, a little intense, some very minor humor.

There were some major fails in the writing and storytelling (could have used a bit more information as to why the marriage was at the point it was), so i get the bad reviews, but i think it was much much better than that.

you've ignored my Zoom Drummer tutorial for this?

Loved it. Excellent. 4.5 stars

Tonight it's Aliens. I probably won't bother with any of the others in the series after that. I get the impression they're not very good.

Alien 3 is fucking GREAT (I actually like it more than Aliens; super unpopular opinion, I know).

I also like Prometheus, too.
