Looks interesting, but if I'm being honest I've been struggling to take Paul Giamatti seriously since those awful Verizon commercials.

I'll probably see The Holdovers, so hopefully that will get me back on track.

The trailer didn't really grab me, but it's getting really good reviews and it's a Christmas movie so I think I'll see it. I have a ton of free ticket on my account, I just have to wait for it to be out for a few weeks.

I hope you dig it. Report back. If enough people tell me it's worth it, maybe I'll give it a go.

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.

How good was Björk's cameo in The Northman? I can't imagine she had to try very hard to get into character as a Norse witch.

Forgot how good this score is.

Edit: Never realized until now that these are very similar movies. He definitely had this idea in his head for awhile. The Fountain is much better though.

Never heard of this. How dumb.

ABC thought audiences needed a moral context for Fistful of Dollars. Airing only once, they filmed this prologue with Harry Dean Stanton and Eastwood's stunt double and added it to the movie.

You guys must have been passionate about promoting it.

I don't remember this movie at all.
