In this movie, Carey Mulligan plays a woman who goes to bars alone and pretends to be too drunk to take care of herself. So when "nice guys" take advantage by bringing her back to their place and trying to rape her, she kills them. I have two great hopes for this movie:

1. It does not turn out to be a story about how the Carey Mulligan character falls in love with the one guy who doesn't try to rape her.

2. No RMer sees the movie and decides to come to RM and write that the 35-year-old Carey Mulligan is too old/not pretty enough to rape.

I actually have high hopes for number 1. I'm more worried about number 2.

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.
