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 hear this a lot about her but I don't think it actually holds true

It seems like more of a Twilight criticism than a Kristen Stewart criticism

Bridesmaids should be #1, regardless of how you may feel about that movie -- it blew the roof off female-driven comedies as a viable genre.

And how is The Heat not on there? Another one that was hugely popular.

PopStar is awful

I personally would've liked to see 21 Jump Street. And I have yet to see In The Loop, but it's so universally admired that I have trouble believing to doesn't deserve a spot.

I kind of get your boner for Bridesmaids, but it really wasn't all that good.
