But Soapie, you've already posted twice today..! Isn't three times a bit much? Well folks and folkettes, that's the beauty of this blog: first, it's mine. I can post whatever I feel like posting.

Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon
Unoriginal Hollywood blasphemers have once again chosen to defiled a classic piece of cinematic perfection with their remake of Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon. Now, I don't know details, but the little I do know is enough to make a billygoat puke (First Blood quote). They have picked nonother than over-rated, over-exposed, poser-extraordinaire Samuel L.
