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.

Still haven't see Tape, it's on my short list of films to watch next.

It's a damn fine film, but there's a noticeable decline from the first two. One, it's sort of a bummer. Two, it's the only one not presented in "real time." And three, a bit of the dialogue feels a bit forced or maybe expository. It's a believable progression of Celine and Jesse's narrative, but it's the only one that feels, at times, like I'm watching a movie; the first two feel like I'm a voyeur into an actual connection between two real people.
