Endlessly curious. I am wont to find humour (note Canadian spelling) everywhere. Author, Death Kills and other things I've learned on the internet. TED talk: Exit Laughing. Oh so glad to be here where the sky is blue and the tone is true.

THE SMASHING MACHINE is an indie Oscar vehicle, not a franchise tentpole, and the idea that Johnson needs to come out and explain why it didn't have a massive opening weekend is a sign that both celebrity culture and entertainment journalism have reached new levels of delusion.
