This Writer Capitulates My Thoughts
I wrote on this a few months ago regarding video games-turned-movies. His list found here is about how I would have it. Is there any surprise that Uwe Boll comes up 4 times on this list out of 12? That’s 1/3 of the list for crying out loud. You judge. It’s a pretty fun list,…
