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.

Oh brother. I don't understand this crap at all.

Trag's post is the strangest post I've ever read.

I don't get how anyone could be so averse to animal death/suffering that they refuse to watch even fake depictions of it in movies.

They are animals. Animals die. We eat them all the time. What's the big deal? Why is it worse than seeing countless people die in movies?

I hate when animals suffer in movies.
Just out of curiosity, did any of the death(s) in Fantastic Mr. Fox bother you at all?

I can’t handle animals dying in movies either, but I feel like Anderson’s characters are so humanized that I’m not bothered by it.

You're LESS bothered when they're humanized?!

You guys have issues.

The difference being that people die all the time in movies. We’re more desensitized to it.

Sounds like you're calling for more animal deaths in movies. That's fucked up.

Yeesh. Don’t put words in my mouth. All I’m saying is it’s a lot different to watch a claymation rat get stabbed than watching live action Old Yeller die.

Kind of interesting that Anderson ended up doing a stop motion animation like Kaufman's Anomalisa. This looks good though.

I like when dogs are depicted like Keith Richards . Then you don't know which side of the rail they're walking down and neither do they
