Finally watched "The Covenant" and loved it... Underrated/Overlooked perhaps?

I felt pretty good about it most of the way through, but it felt a little rushed or incomplete in the end, as a whole.

I had a couple of legit jump scares, I really liked the way they shot all the action sequences.

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 goddamn love Funny Farm. But I also haven't seen it in years. It may not hold up. But god I remember just loving the fuck out of that thing. Hating Chevy might actually work in your favor here, though. The character in the movie is a giant dick and I don't think you're supposed to "like" him. It's more of an "Almost Sunny" type comedy, where you're meant to find humor and joy in how shitty he is.

Ok, I'll throw it on in the next few nights. Thanks for the recommendation.

If you hate it, don't blame me!
