Not-so-shocking revelation #1: I’m a movie geek.Not-so-shocking revelation #2: I have a strange fetish for “Best-of” lists.Not-so-shocking revelation #3: I hate summer TV programming.

Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing
Two days back I posted a teaser for the next Kevin Smith movie, ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO. If you have any interest in the clip, and haven’t watched it yet…you might want to do so quickly before it gets pulled. Slash Film had a bit this morning about how the MPAA isn’t too…
