So, I've covered a ( Read more... )

While en route to LAX on Sunday, I saw something that sent a shudder through my entire body and instantly put me in a foul, sick mood:

VAL KILMER IS MOSES! IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS!!

I'm a big fan of Val, for the most part. He even takes the craptastical and makes it semi-watchable. Yet, this is the fourth incarnation of The Ten ( Read more... )
