As for denial - there's so much of it in our world it doesn't need the rantings of a professor to establish its existence.

The film reviews and advertising breakdowns both basically identify the same psychological processes so I don't percieve a lot of difference. As for the subconscious debate it's all semantics and consensus doesn't really establish truth. A lot of psychological research has been suppressed and ridiculed academically, while being lapped up by big business, advertisers and spin doctors - because it works. Meanwhile garbage like person-centred counselling is pushed universally.

the film reviews are your superior achievement. James Vicary, who originated the study of subliminal advertisements, discredited himself by falsifying research: in fact, there is no consensus on the subconscious, or how impressionable it may be without benefit of a conscious censor. Freud is largely ignored and Boris Sedis, who popularised the idea of a 'gullible subconscious', is no longer taken seriously. Denial ever remains, a river in Egypt.

The film reviews are entertaining sure, but really wouldn't you prefer to be aware of this marketing stuff so you become less affected by it? Denial doesn't prevent unhappiness - it merely postpones it at the cost of the discomfort being greater further down the line.

it's a lot more interesting to hear you talk about aesthetic and structural choices in film, that's all. Watching an ad stripped back to a lattice of cold blooded marketing ploys is a little like stumbling on a fetid corpse. Or sumthing.

HAHA !!!! No, it was just sitting there on the shelf in my living room. I thought about moving it out the way, but then thought it would be fun to just leave it there and see what comments come in.
