I like this film too, though I think it ruined me in terms of a career in business. It was made the same year I graduated (2000) and thought I was going to be a marketing guru.

I still sometimes toy with the idea. For some reason that shit comes to me naturally (my critiques used to frighten my classmates), but for some other reason there's a kind of übermoral kill switch in my brain that prevents me from using these talents. I just can't seem to sell out.

You should create a webinar or something.
