Two thoughts:

1) Describing Welles as a pompous blowhard is the kind of thing even his admirers would probably say. It's also not really about the film and shouldn't reflect much (if at all) on...

Re: No-Spend February - Part Deux!

Good stuff. Great tips, all.

There've been times in the past when we really had to scrape by, and others where we just really really wanted to save, and it's been really eye-opening how little you...

Re: Another Hot Take: Multiverses Are Lazy and Hackish
