Is Amadeus a movie that should be seen by me? I feel like it is.

I've never seen Amadeus but The Sting is definitely better.

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.

Like most Hollywood movies about historical events it's far from the true story, but nevertheless, it is indeed excellent.

Milos Forman should be included more often in conversations about the all-time great directors. Between his Czech New Wave stuff and his Hollywood stuff he had an incredible body of work.

There is a Nicodemus road on the way to my kids’ school, and every time we pass it I say “ooh, rock me Nicodemus.” Nobody thinks it’s funny.

It's got such an unappealing plot. A movie about redditors? No thanks.

It's a classic feelgood David vs. Goliath story with some fun actours
