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.

This is next, and afterwards I will have 20 movies left from 2016, 10 first time views, and 10 rewatches.

Fantastic film, though it’s 20 mins too long
