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've read three different books on Brian and the Wilsons, so I really should've watched it by now. John Cusack looks weird in the promo stills.

Anders wrote:Finished it, still my number one movie of 2014.

Now I’ve only got six 2014 movies left, not seen any of them before.

1. Calvary
2. Love & Mercy
3. St. Vincent
4. Love, Rosie
5. Wild
6. The Skeleton Twins

Do hope and think I will enjoy them, but not sure if any will reach the top ten of the year. We shall see.

please report on Love & Mercy, been meaning to watch that one

Anders wrote:Think this movie is really captivating, putting images to a story I am well familiar with, yet also illuminating aspects I was not aware of. Like someone else wrote: «The rise and fall and rise and fall and rise of Brian Wilson.»

The casting of Brian Wilson is both brilliant and a little jarring at the same time, with actors known for wildly different parts. The rest of the cast is fine, even if less brilliant and inspired.
Think Elizabeth Banks does especially well.

Dr. Landy was a pretty weird/intense dude, FWIW
