We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

SHOW ME HOW YOU SUCK COCK… AGAIN!

Producers are never more desperate than before a strike, which is why I think the unions should threaten to strike more often. Not because I’m hot to see more Voltrons and He-Mans; these projects are a blight on cinema and, if made, could very well bring back slavery (granted, there’s an undeniable plus-side here for … Continue reading
