Does an Oscar nominated song have to have lyrics?

Yes.

Maybe.

But like a full moon, it only happens once a month.

Pssh, Scarface...

83 is one of my most shitty years. I'll do this when I can.

Well, at least Doomsday has a lot of films to recommend in the film club.

It has long been rumored that George Lucas actually directed Return of the Jedi... and that Steven Spielberg directed Poltergeist... and that Sylvester Stallone directed Rambo II and Cobra... and that Kurt Russell directed Tombstone. The latest rumor is that Matthew Vaughn had to do A LOT of mess cleaning for the new Fantastic Four.

Anyway...
