Steve Albini wrote:Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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 feel bad for saying bill hader has better taste than all of us. i am sorry and i am glad and lucky to have you all to discuss movies with.

Bill Hader has good taste, I guess. Here's his Criterion top ten. He puts two Kurosawa movies in a tie for first and includes a Jarmusch and a Melville, so, yeah, I guess he's OK

Bill Hader wrote:When I first saw Mona Lisa, I had no idea who Bob Hoskins was (I was eight). I honestly thought they paid some low-rent criminal money to be in this movie. He was so believable that when I saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I was like “Hey, that guy really turned his life around. This movie is huge. Good for him.”

Best part is you don't even have to buy the ticket.
