I still can’t believe Chris Columbus is going to be directing that film. Most. Boring. Director. Ever.

Back in the day, I wouldn’t have watched a doc if you paid me, but now I concur with you JD. I only wish I was seeing all the good ones.

I love your weekly round-ups Nick, and I hope you see American Teen soon, I think you will love it. I know you love your teen angst, done right, and that is exactly what it offers.
