Hey,
an unrated DAWN OF THE DEAD? Dude, do they mean the original or the remake? Because if it's the original... :looks at just-bought 4-disc SE of DAWN OF THE DEAD, looks around for someone to kill:
And VAN HELSING?! Did it mention a restored cut of Hugh's butt-shot?!!
Gav!
(still sore from being flamed and called a "talentless, overwritten hack" by two Freddy/Nancy shippers)

Not to begrudge any deep seated need you might have to feel like a "talentless, overwritten hack", but get over it! *g* Come on, consider the source. You're not exactly dealing with people in possession of a full deck here. They sound about as nutty as the Buffy/Angel twu luv 4eva bunch.

-Well, one was nuts, but the other one seemed more or less rational. I *was* getting a nice, seething grudge going, but I guess I'll drop it. I mean, I've already marked them as spam and blocked them!!
Buffy/Angel?! That's *truly* sick!
Gav!
