The analysis was very good, as you would expect from him, but toward the back end […]

(Yes, MrUNIVAC, I did buy the thing as a digital download – but no, […]

Now, normally, the words, “A Christopher Nolan Film”, translate to, “GUARAN-DAMN-TEED BLOCKBUSTER”, in almost every language known to Man. This is due in no small part […]

But, even in these difficult moments, we can all enjoy the spectacle of Zioclowns trying to justify themselves, and being taken apart on live television: It really says a lot that, even with heavy editing, and lots of interruptions, the Jewish host […]
