    Dude, wrong forum.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Could someone please explain to me, just how anyone could possibly think that this kind of thread should be posted in Film Reviews. Did the Reviews part not give away what the board is for?

    Am I going to have to start handing out temp bans untill people get a clue?
