I don't see how that's possible. Good luck!

Not confident in Sir Ron Howard, durd?

I'm not a big fan in general and I think this one in particular looks like a disaster. Hope I'm wrong, though.

You're probably right, but I'm sucker for ocean movies.

Which is sorta ironic.

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.

It's set (and was filmed) in my hometown, and the actors portayed people I know. It's a shit movie that puts a very Hollywood spin on the actual events.
