The Soloist: Joe Wright
Thursday, April 30th, 2009by The Great White Gypsy
People who could’ve directed The Soloist better than Joe Wright:
Ron Howard
Any 2nd year NYU film student
A French tourist with a camcorder
A retarded monkey

Sunday, January 4th, 2009by The Great White Gypsy
White people are crazy.
I never really got into wrestling. I know, it’s real, they are like stuntmen, and people have died in the ring. But it’s scripted, it’s retardedly violent in a white trash kinda way, and they wear tights. So when I saw the poster for The Wrestler, I wasn’t […]
