Tony's incestuous and violent overprotection of his sister to the point of murder and self-destruction is far more compelling than Carlito's sappy, tragic romance with glass-of-skim-milk Penelope Ann Miller.

The Rock/Emily Blunt is the least appealing romantic pairing since Tom Cruise/Emily Blunt and I do not blame Emily Blunt for either one

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.
