Re: Diary: A NolanFans Story

2 cents: I think there is a huge gap between a defense of free speech, no matter how misguided you think it is, and wanting to call someone an "illegal alien". I think banning him for this reason, if it is true, is a terrible mistake.

Re: Diary: A NolanFans Story

Re: Last Film You Watched? VI

But yes, In A Lonely Place is great, and for me contains Bogart's best performance. My favorite Ray t...
