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.

Kidding. It's good. Solid, well-crafted middlebrow courtroom drama with some great performances and Aaron Sorkin's least annoying writing. Tom Cruise has a "drunk scene" that's hilarious because he looks like a person who's never had a drop of alcohol in his life doing an impression of a belligerent drunk. Pretty funny

Rewatchables made the same comment on that drunk seen. I agree it’s Sorkin’s best work.

I'm really enjoying it so far.

You take that back you sonuvvabitch!!!

I don’t think it’s bad, per se; there’s a need for cool, confident characters in lots of stories, and he delivers that well. I just can’t think of a time he’s ever registered any sort of energy or charisma.
