It was only a matter of time before I infringed upon Mindless Action Mondays, right? This only leaves Single Malt Movies and Strange Bacon that I haven’t done, so I’m thinking maybe later I’ll watch a Canadian movie and base a mixed drink on it. It’ll be a blast.

Often, we have to negotiate who will review what movie, and the man at the top, the titular Rooster Illusion, tells us time and time…
Baddie – Evolution? Lesson – Students copy, artists steal. Directors make shameless ripoffs. Warning: This is a visual spoiler-heavy post.
