It's practically a perfect film. Accomplishes everything it sets out to do in a tidy run time. Great performances, flawless script, and with a timeless concept and execution.

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.

Yeah tree you’re so wrong on this one.
I'm not arguing. MD's right. I love the movie and it's great but just not the direction I wanted for my team. I was really close to picking it. For me, The Shining is a better fit. I needed a Kubrick movie.

I thought about Kidman, but Cruise is too one-note for me
