Considering he has basically gone for a themed team. Very impressive. Plus I just love dystopian shit.

Beautiful, champ. Raging Bull was on the shortlist, as was Pitt. And you can't fuck with Goodfellas.

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.

Did I have any impact here?
A bit. I was going to pick something else but it stuck around so long I had to take it. Plus it fits the theme now that I think about it.

If you took Burt's team to a desert island you'd be thinking "fuck these palm trees and fuck this serenity. Someone please enslave or nuke me".

:shock:

After a wonky and questionable start, you've really turned yours into one of my favorite teams. Well done.

A lot of solid lists, but I like Vinyl Guy's the best so far.
