NEG RAPE

[Qrazy]

Mr. Wise is that a large camera in front of you or are you just happy to see BM and D-rek fellating each other in a dark alley?

Awww, you just got Brimrolled!!!!1

If most people's ratings for Star Trek are based on the old theatrical version, I would urge them to seek out the DC.

Are we counting as the two versions of Star Trek as two separate films?

I have to admit I got a kick out of all the low scores for West Side Story and The Sound of Music, two films that make me puke in my mouth.

'West Side Story' - 4
'The Sound of Music' - 7
'Run Silent Run Deep' - 6 (Suprised more haven't seen this, good flick. Some wierd stuff with the production though, how did they ever fit those huge submarines into that timy bathtub?!)
