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 thought this happened and you simply glossed over it. Tremendous film, timeless in my mind.tommy wrote:I'm finally watching Psycho tonight. I'm excited to finally see it - I love Hitchcock.

I have good news for you. I am now doing a final rewatch run for 2021-23 (I have not yet seen any 2024 movies). Only movies, tv shows and short films are not included. It's not a lot, even if I watch every single movie for a second time, the total number is 62 (2021-23 movies that I’ve watched before the start of 2024). There were so very few rewatches from 22-23, only a handful, that I decided to include them now when I've started on 2021.
After that is done, I've got lined up hundreds of movies (and a few tv shows and short films), that I've never seen before from 2021-24, and will probably finish this project by the end of the year, having seen all the big 2024 movies.

Just watched this, and this is exactly how I feel about it.VinylGuy wrote:Holdovers was alright. I will never ever watch it again.
Movie looks gorgeous; some great framing and editing; soundtrack is of course, brilliant and the cast is having fun! But while I really had fun with it, it’s not a serious movie. It’s almost a parody and that’s alright.VinylGuy wrote:Watching Challengers in a few hours.
