Its the best movie ever.

fuck yeah!

Despite using super-violence as a selling point and Nick Cage, who looks absurdly awful, I'm somehow kind of interested in this.

Whats wrong with violence as a selling point? and nic cage??

If you really want to talk about it, we can. But I'm not sure it really matters. It's not something you're going to agree with and I'll say something honest that just ends up being one of those things y'all can tease me about from time to time.

I don't believe that violent films make people violent or anything like that. It's not that cut and dried. But I do have an issue with using violence as a means to sell a product. I have issues with the elevation and glorification of violence, especially violence for violence's sake with no larger or more interesting message or implication. The movie may not be violence for violence's sake. I don't know. But that marketing cam across that way to me.

As far as Nick Cage goes... I don't know what else to say. I think he's a one note hack who makes largely terrible films. People seem to like him a lot but I think he's been mostly useless since the late 90s. He's like Al Pacino if Al Pacino was never actually good except accidentally sometimes.

Adaptation was the last thing he made that I enjoyed. He was great in that.

You should see Joe. Its fuckin awesome. And Dog Eat Dog is one of my favs from him too. To see Willem Dafoe and him working together...bliss.

Oh and the amazing Bad Lieutenant 2!!! Such a wonderful film.

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.
