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 entertained the idea of looking into Cage’s insane body of equally bonkers work early on in the pandemic, but ended up getting a Criterion subscription instead.

Rented Pig this week and loved it, so tonight I watched Mom and Dad. Goddamn what a fun couple of films.

I’ve got a list teed up now; probably won’t watch a movie without Cage in it for some months.

Pig was absolutely fantastic. Complete shock. I was not expecting that film considering the stuff he had been putting out the past year or so. Just a lovely film. Perfect maybe.

For someone that has quite the trouble with money, this could be a fairly interesting performance.

Prisoners Of The Ghostland.

I was kinda letdown with this one, specially because i loved Why Dont You Play In Hell? a few years ago. The movie has two amazing set pieces, some great moments but its mostly a incoherent mess.

Nic is so good tough...his scene with the bike is priceless.
