Be sure to listen for Stealth Contest information.
And this will make sense if you listen all the way to the end, we decided on Apocalypto.

DVD Review: Eraserhead

May 11th, 2007 · No Comments

Continuing talking about some movies that might not necessarily get talked about…
Y’know, I honestly can’t claim to understand in detail every little move David Lynch has ever made in a movie- hell some of the movies are still most mysterious to me, but… I sure do get a lot of pleasure watching his films… say [...]
