Moonrise Kingdom, Grand Budapest, and Isle of Dogs were all awful

I liked Moonrise but I’m scared to revisit it. Didn’t even bother watching Isle; trailers were so boring.

Imagine liking Fantastic Mr. Fox so much that you listened to the soundtrack almost exclusively for a period of time and watched the movie once or twice a week for a few months. Now imagine someone took your ipod and threw it into a fully overflowing portapotty and then dropped a fresh deuce right on it. then they took your nice and fresh Criterion copy of the movie and defaced it with a box knife before yeeting the discs into the interstate.

That's what watching Isle of Dogs was like for my son.

That said I really liked the taiko drumming on the soundtrack.

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.
