Rose McGowan Strikes Back - Here we go again!

Fun fact - Mike Leigh and Robert Altman share the same birthday.

Did you intentionally skip the Supporting Actor poll because that category is so boring this year?

Please, stop. For the sake of your sanity, don't watch the third Fifty Shades movie. The 2nd one nearly killed my brain cells over how stupid and misogynistic it is. Why do we want to suffer more for the third film?

thevoid99 -- sorry bout it. I like seeing blockbusters that aren't action films or animated (even if they're bad) because they're so rare.
