The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day Jr. on Feb 2, 2013
This time of the year is usually referred to as "awards season", when all the beautiful people get together at various functions and congratulate each other on how talented they are. I think it's ironic that people get so worked up about award shows, because some of the greatest film read more
