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'm watching movies from 2023 at the moment, and I can't wait to get to the big Oscar movies from last year.

Yes, but I’ve only seen three of this year’s nominees, and those three are arguably not up to snuff with several from last year.

But ultimately, this is stupid, cuz it’s just an arbitrary line in the sand which films fall into which year.

I actually think a year is just about the best way possible to separate between movies, or anything else in life. One more year around the sun.

They'll give it to him for Part 3, just like they did for Jackson.

Well, If he makes messiah into a good of a movie as the first two, it will be well deserved. That book has always been thought of as too difficult to make into a movie

Don't public figures typically have someone handling their social media? How does this still happen?
