Well, that’s what I get for cutting the cord and going all digital for my entertainment. Haven’t watched SNL in a few years and then I just now find out these dorks snuck up and produced some funny digital shorts … Continue reading
Words betray me. I can’t find the right combination to describe the physical, intellectual, and emotional discomfort I was in while watching this movie. And it’s all my fault… there’s no reason for me to have gone to see it. … Continue reading
