Good idea Shryke !
It's satisfying to see Mr. Turner still collecting a couple of PTA points.
Otherwise, Selma is having a disappointing career since it opened wide. I once thought it could climb to $100M with time, but it seems very unlikely now.

Guys, should we consider doing guest Speare's Tips for the next few weekends? Shryke, would you be open to that?

Well if the master bard has no problem with it, and if some are interested in tackling it, I think it's a good idea.

PS, looks like the film Coming Home is no longer scheduled for Jan 30th. The SPC site doesn't list its release date nor does IMDB or BOM.
