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.

What a classic. Colin Farrell at its finest. Michael Mann, what a director. What he does here is just pure poetry.

Love this. Intend to rewatch it soon so I can listen to it on The Rewatchables.

Incredible tour de force. Really, im still reeling. I think ill tackle Thief later, and maybe Ali..maybe Blackhat.

Watched Thief a few months ago, still holds up.

Black Hat is bad!

Never saw Ali.

And wease — yes, Miami Vice is awesome. It’s Mann just having the purest fun he’s ever had.

mm maybe? But its impossible not feel all this talent is wasted on this tired, formulaic shell of a movie. Really, it makes me angry.

I hope you like it.

Spoiler: show

I don’t mind people dying in a war movie, but would have liked Blake/Tommen to stick around longer. I liked the interaction between the two of them.
