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.

Pretty sure Hott Fuzz is on the list. I'll add The World's End too.

I agree, but I can see why it hits the sweet spot for certain people looking for a certain experience (Anders). Not for me.

Still feel like the story in this is trying too hard, to be cool, original and magical. Doesn’t quite pull it off for me.
