yeah, close enough

What am I missing??

I don't imagine our tastes are more aligned the further you recede into the past. You just seem to like old movies and cut them a lot of slack.

What I feel like happens is I'm criminally underversed in older movies so I end up watching the hits more than anything.

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.
