Thank you for standing with Mel.

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.

It says a lot and says it very well. And the performances are superb. I think this movie will one day be considered one of the truly great American epics, but the Corbet name doesn't yet have the clout of a Spielberg. Get in on this one early, folks.
