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 didn't hate it. Just ultimately left me flat. There's a lot there to like, though. I had higher expectations.

Totally. And I'm super open to being wrong about it. I wanted to like it. And reading others' thoughts will be valuable.

Yeah well it happened to me with a lot of movies, specially Baker’s; who is probably a top 5 favorite from his era to me.

It would be that you are wrong; but maybe you need more time with it.

Really liked although I needed time with the ending. It’s brilliant but it took a while.
Still my favorite from him is Starlet.

You need to see Starlet and Tangerine. Both of them are so fucking good.

I wouldnt recommend Red Rocket to you tough. Might be a little much for you, specially if Anora was not of your taste.
