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.

Spoiler: show

...that they kept the flashback that ends Part II where it was instead of trying to shoehorn it between the two movies. It wouldn't have worked anywhere else.

I started it late last night expecting to just watch the TCM intro and the first minute or two to get a taste, but wound up getting sucked in and staying up later than I should have to finish it. What a stunning movie. A haunting microcosm of human and American experience. It makes me excited that there are still so many Altman movies I've yet to see.

Sweet. I've only seen:

Popeye
The Player
Short Cuts
The Gingerbread Man
Gosford Park
A Prairie Home Companion

Those last two are my favorites. What else is a must-see? I've been meaning to watch Nashville for years.
