Summer ballbuster
I’m a slave to my childhood, so that’s why this pains me.
I saw Indiana Jones tonight.
Great movie. Shia–there’s a boy to like.
But really… the villain? A female socialist? Versus a male capitalist? I think some of her last lines of the movie were, “Look at them, more powerful together than separate” or something along those […]
