I know, I know, and yet the first thing I thought when I saw you had posted here, for whatever reason was: "I bet zedz has something long and insightful to say." I guess the one thing this proves is that the zedz branding has not been diluted!zedz wrote:(And since when has this thread been about the movie?)
