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 wasn't going to say anything but I just want to be clear that I am big-time team Big Fish. It's beautiful and magical and it touches me. I cry every time I see it, and it's one I re-visit every few years

I only know her from that painfully average theatre kid band she had. Is there more to it?

Have you actually seen Beetlejuice lately? I liked it as a kid but my God I could barely get through it the last rewatch

I liked it a lot as a young kid.

I watched it about a year ago, and I still like it.

The Handbook for the Recently Deceased? The dinner possession? I love it.

I knew a really talented singer-songwriter chick in St. Louis that was very influenced by her. I also heard her talk about her favorite elliott smith song in a My Favorite Elliott Smith Song podcast episode. I think she picked Pictures of Me. I like her for those reasons. Don't think I know any of her songs though, if I've ever heard them. What does she have to do with Burton?

I think Trag confused her for Helena Bonham Carter.

Oh, that must be the guy who doesn't like listening to Elliott Smith with his wife. Asshole.
