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.

Practically seamless, almost always photorealistic, intense AF, constructed immaculately. Tippett’s animatronic work is astoundingly good. The moment when the animatronic Rex jerks its head downward after Tim slams the car door is just unbelievable. How they got something so big - and soaked with water - to move so quickly without displaying any unnatural, mechanical juddering is mindblowing. Leave it to a visualist like Spielberg and a DP like Dean Cundey to figure out how to perfectly light and color time a scene to blend CGI in a way that is almost undetectable - WHEN THE TECH WAS BRAND NEW. That’s an art that is STILL not well understood.
