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'm up to The Living Daylights. Watching it right now as a matter of fact.Orpheus wrote:Watched Goldeneye last night because of that thread in N&D. Still holds up great, Alan Cumming and Famke Janssen are the stars of the show, both their characters are fantastic. But really the whole ensemble in this movie is fantastic.
