Quick and to the point: New LAFF post is HERE

Well, not quite, anyway. More LAFF craziness…

So I went to see the apparent world premiere of WINGED CREATURES, and must report that Dakota Fanning does not get raped in it. She starts quoting lots of scripture, which is a far less awful fate. (The rape movie is called HOUNDDOG, it turns out.)
