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.

As Good As It Gets has the same problem. If Jack just told Helen “I have ocd,” no movie.

i haven't seen on the rocks, and it's been a years since i've seen as good as it gets...but they weren't really partners or even that close until the end, no? plus he was the type who would never just volunteer that about himself

They had a lot of awkward flirting throughout the movie, interrupted by repeated moments of misunderstanding based on his OCD. Stupid!

You're lying.

True story: When I first met my wife, she had a boyfriend; she and I were just friends for a while.

She and her boyfriend were having difficulties, and she asked for my advice. "I'm not sure I should offer any advice because I'm really attracted to you."

She dumped his emotionally ambiguous ass and got with Mr. Clearcut.
