Is this streaming yet? Where?

Both Barry Crimmins and Bobcat Goldthwait made the podcast rounds when this was coming out, and they made it sounds excellent.

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.

100% agree. Had the same experience and still loved it.

Neil Jordan knows how to make a fucking film, eh?

Butcher Boy or GTFO

Well I can't recommend The Butcher Boy highly enough. You should absolutely check that one out. Even if you don't totally flip out over it and love it as much as I do, you'll still really appreciate it and enjoy the thing, I think.

The End of the Affair is also gorgeous. A damn near perfect film. So sexy and haunting and heartbreaking and tense. And another round of stellar performances in that one.

Interview with a Vampire, Michael Collins and Breakfast on Pluto are really solid as well.

I think it was the first decent performance TC gave. I thought Pitt really nailed the tone.
