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’ve always wanted to watch this
I know it’s a movie that splits opinion. Everyone likes Deliverance, maybe not to a five star review, but everyone enjoys it. Barry Lyndon can receive anything from one star to five star reviews, and even among Kubrick-fans. It’s very long, and takes place in a very particular and different time. But I’ve always found it very enjoyable.

Barry Lyndon rules, super underrated movie. They did some incredible filmmaking to get some of the shots, worth reading about if you like the film.

With a little break in between, I just finished it.

It’s more sad than I remember. Probably because I have become a father myself, that part hit me harder.

Just started. Should be entertaining.

Getting to the last movies of my 1970s run for now.

Not the best movie, but it’s easy and silly fun.
