When you've got 10,000 people trying to do the same thing, why would you want to be number 10,001?
We appreciate the effort Doug gave us. He went through a lot to get back. Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
We're rocking the film festival. If you've seen a movie, you've seen one of ours,
Linking without permission is stealing. Period, end of story.
