The other day I was going through Sports Illustrated’s Greatest American Boxing Movies (ignoring each film made before 1950 because the only people who watch those are homosexuals and women that don’t get laid) when, at #8, I came upon a title so fantastic that I knew right then and […]
This is a brave thing I’m about to say, but I felt it needed to be said: The terrorist attacks against the United States of America on September 11, 2001, were disgusting and unjustifiable. Phew. I hope you’re still reading after that, but I just had to put it out […]
