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.

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

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.”
