“the chicken stops here”
I saw Grizzly Man for the first time a few weeks ago. It was an interesting movie; painful to watch at times, but excellent overall. Anyway, I can be a bit slow on the uptake, and it wasn’t until I was halfway through the movie that I realized it was by Werner Herzog. This held [...]
