Funding update: 3 days to go.
90 backers $10,434 pledged of $15,000 goal 69% funded! Jumpin’ pumpkins! But in order to get any money at all, I have to get to 100%. The best reason to pledge now? Through the generosity of an anonymous backer, all … Continue reading
3 things about Ray Milland’s HOSTILE WITNESS
Hostile Witness [1968] 1. No one grimaces like Ray Milland. Ray Milland invented the grimace. When he reacts to something going badly, or some fool saying something idiotic, he looks as if a brand new ulcer had suddenly sprouted in … Continue reading
