SPEARE'S TIPS - The Films of 9/7

[BanksIsDaFuture]

They're under public as usual. I didn't get an invite but figured they were there.

So....you're telling me I had to use my BRAIN?!?!?!

Well, I. Have. Never. In All My 23 Years...

I probably was invited, but I always join at the last minute (which for good or bad cost me Girl Model this time) so I only looked at the last one sent.

I'm amazed at how exact my predictions on Lawless and The Words were.

I had put Hello I must be going on a couple of slates, glad I did.
