This stands out for sure.

IM working on it. I need a tree and some interior lights. How's the weather in Denver? Getting snow?

Yea that'd do it. Maybe you need a trip to the mountains. There is so much snow up here.

Does renting a log cabin at some hot springs interest you?

I said this back when it came out and got a lot of shit for it. I didn't buy him and Dano together. Compare it with the scene at the end of The Master when Phil Seymour is singing to Joaquin, there's just so much genuine chemistry there. But I think it's a far superior movie to TWBB in almost every way, so.

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.
