The way earth was depicted; a scorching hot hell hole with more unemployed and homeless than you could shake a stick at. I... read more

20 From 73: My Favorite Films of 1973 (20 movies items)

" You know what goes really well with Solyent Green? Fava beans & a nice bottle of chianti. Charlton Heston, Chuck Connors & Edward G.
