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.

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.
