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 a comedic exaggeration of a common trope, it's the parody that the scenes in Cr33d reminded me of

There's a pretty crucial difference but I don't want to explain how or else you'll cry about spoilers for 6 months

It's not perfect, sure, but it's far better than one would expect 'Rocky IX directed by the most handsome man on the planet' to be. It's good!

man, you are giving me second thoughts about not going to see creed 3 in the theatre.

I love Rocky 4 for all its ridiculousness

Posted: **Wed March 15, 2023 12:29 pm**

I had a great time. It's true that it's a little dour and self-serious but it delivers on the drama.

I’ve not seen the last Rocky or any of the Creeds. But I really want to.

I started Creed II the other day and wasn't feeling it so stopped after about 10 minutes.

I guess you could say you threw in the towel.

haha thanks buddy

White Noise.

Why did everyone hate this again? I thought it was fantastic. Driver is just unfuckwithable here. He's easily the heir apparent to the Day Lewis/Streep tier. He's just unreal good.

I didn't hate it

Hot off it’s Oscar victories, local theaters are showing Everything Anybody All at One Time this weekend and next week. I’m looking forward to it, despite Jorge’s abject hatred.

I gave it a 5.5 out of 10. That is nowhere near abject hatred level
