Well, technically, no – it’s been 14 years since the movie came out, but when you are dying to rerelease a DVD in a case shaped like a gas can, nothing as paltry as … Continue reading
Go West Wing, Young Man (SEND A LETTER) Nick: Just finished reading your west wing roundtable DVD discussion. SPECTACULAR.
