Godspeed, good Farmer. I watched it like 12 years ago, but can’t remember if I split it up.

I see there's an intermission, so I might end up watching the second half tomorrow.

That's awesome, I'm not sure I could do that. Glad you enjoyed it. I need to re-watch that sometime in the next 5 years.

I took little breaks, but was always eager to keep going.

I see why it's often mentioned as one of the greatest movies of all time. Some incredible shots and sequences.

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.
