Hollywood, where lies are turned into truths

According to an article on Variety.com today, the WGA annual report states that compensation for feature writing went down 3.2% last […]
Harry Potter movie anticipation…
I love me some Harry Potter movies, so I’m totally stoked about the release next week of The Order of The Phoenix to theaters. If you’ve ever been to the opening nights of any of these films, then you know that loads of people show up wearing various Harry Potter paraphernalia from homemade shirts to […]
