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'm not a Spielberg partisan, so this didn't quite land for me. It's not terrible, it's just not my cup of tea. The two great scenes, for those of you who've seen it, are the two extended cameos. Uncle Boris in the bedroom (heartbreaking) and you goddamn well know who. Especially that second one, holy cow
