It is awesome. But it's not a good movie.

what does that even mean

It means that it's not a well crafted film. But it's still fun to watch in spite of its flaws. I can put on Temple and marvel at its badness and be entertained by its more entertaining moments. But that doesn't mean its a competent film. Its the very definition of that thing you don't believe in, actually.

That's absurd. It's an incredibly well-crafted film. You can fault the film for many subjective issues, but it's cinematic craftsmanship isn't one of them.

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.

He peaked in Monty Python.

Brazil, Fisher King, and 12 Monkeys are all stellar.
