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 hate to agree with VinylGuy, but yeah, it was very pretentious and overstuffed. Long, too. I was checking my watch after the parent's house.

I guess I liked it. mostly. Especially the first half. It nosedives after that. Good material but not sure the execution ever quite lives up to it. Good stuff here and there, though.


Lol at Robert Zemeckis.

I actually liked this. It wasn't some haunted house horror movie. this felt more like a small indie film with character explorations.

"you cant unrun your shadow" is basically the premise of the movie.

I liked it.
