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.

This doesn't really help, but Burnt was pretty dull too.

Like Water For Chocolate is great.

But then again, I like Chocolat quite a bit and find Ratatouille mediocre.
