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.

Ghost Dog (Ghost Dog)
Lord of the Rings (Gollum)
The Last Jedi (Kylo Ren)
Miller's Crossing (eveyrone)
Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado (Benicio) [not sure if he counts as a villain]
Kylo Ren? he is basically a stupid guy who ruins everything motivated by some voice in his head.

All that fuss about renting a movie and you only watched half of it?

Wife got home later than usual from work and then we decided to listen to music for a bit.. time got away from me. Also, this movie didn't feel like it needed to be this long. Should have been like an hour and half for this style. I saw all I needed to see of it to know what it was.

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.

Watched High Plains Drifter again. I don't think it gets the credit it deserves in the Eastwood catalog. What a crazy movie. Just total contempt for humanity. So naturally I can relate.

Eastwood's antihero turned on the simple, God fearin' townsfolk is a great idea.

5 stars.
