Danny Baldwin posted some thoughts on the final Harry Potter adventure.
Sean Burns went nuts for Melancholia, but didn’t have many kind words for J. Edgar.
Steve Carlson showed off part of his DVD collection. Wait, that’s the Antichrist movie you own???
Dennis Cozzalio wandered down Nightmare Alley. No relation to Jason, I’m guessing?
Chris Devlin tried to get us into Sex Church.
