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.

It's just a clumsy telling of the story with an annoying metatextual twist, very plain and artless on a visual level, with at least three highly questionable casting choices. It has its charms, I like Saoirsie Ronan a lot, but the 94 adaptation is better in every way.

From that list watch The Owners. I don't really know what it is.

What are the three highly questionable casting choices? Bob Odenkirk is one. Meryl Streep, too. Who is three?

I spent a few days with Lukas Haas once. Had no idea who he was until later.

Go on...

It’ll sound too outlandish, none of you would believe me. But I swear on my life it happened.
