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.

Excited to see it.

See my spoiler for the original story on the first page. Would love to know how closely it adheres.

Why would I do that?? I like going into a film knowing absolutely nothing about it. Theorising and speculating is for morons!!

I meant after you watch the movie, dime. I am extremely curious to see how far from the original concept the movie strays.

Hope that rhymes with the original story. But I will read the original story afterwards.

Did you see this? Thoughts on the film on its own merits? Thoughts on the film considering my spoiler of the short story?

A couple of reviews I just read after watching the movie made a big deal of the political point of the movie, which is absolutely there, but is far from the only point it makes. Really hope the film's awesomeness doesn't go overlooked because of that.
