I know I've had some disagreements with some of you in the past, but this is not the time for score settling. This is for science. Try having an ounce of honor and doing the right thing for once.

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.

somewhat unrelated, but i think the reappraisal over the last decade or so of carpenter (and verhoeven) as one of the great directors is totally correct and welcome
