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.

Emmet and Ma Otter are very poor, but they are very happy and talented singers.

Never seen Bad Santa so I’ll try that one too
It's because it's a Thanksgiving movie.

We watched Love Actually last night. It has officially passed Christmas Vacation as my favorite Christmas movie.
Ps. Watched Bad Moms Christmas last weekend and enjoyed it for what it is.
