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.

"In a July 2014 interview at San Diego Comic-Con International, Miller said he designed the film in storyboard form before writing the screenplay, working with five storyboard artists. It came out as about 3,500 panels, almost the same number of shots as in the finished film. He wanted the film to be almost a continuous chase, with relatively little dialogue, and to have the visuals come first. Paraphrasing Alfred Hitchcock, Miller said that he wanted the film to be understood in Japan without the use of subtitles."

Hahaha!
Honestly, I'm so tired of this shit. We've had years where the Oscars go all black, complete with weepy-eyed Oprah moments and all that shit, but then we have a couple of years without a blacktor included in the best actor category and the whole world explodes. Jesus, if there isn't a performance good enough by a blacktor to warrant a nod, then just accept that and move on!
