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.

i was interested because the book was awesome and thought he could do a good job with the material. But nope.tragabigzanda wrote:Genuinely shocked at the expectations you all had for a Charlie Kaufman movie
Haven't watched one of his films since Synecdoche, but he's a good filmmaker. The things that suck about this are his typical self indulgences, but they're cranked up to 11.tragabigzanda wrote:Genuinely shocked at the expectations you all had for a Charlie Kaufman movie

Wow, I had a totally different read. I wish this movie was more acerbic, if it would mean fewer conversations about David Foster Wallace.tragabigzanda wrote:I think his indulgences are fine. It’s his acerbic take on characters and their relationship that I don’t like.
Imagine a movie where a hidden door could put you inside John Malkovich’s head for a couple minutes.
Now imagine if that movie was actually fun!
