The book is terrible wannabe Lovecraft (the sequels are even worse), but I really liked the movie, too, despite a few flaws.Farmer John wrote:I liked everything about it. I liked the story. I liked Natalie Portman. I liked the visuals and the horror imagery. I liked the brooding, dreamlike state of it. I liked that screaming bear thing.

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.
