In this case, my money won’t be going anywhere near these festivals. All of these are affiliated with Brew Ha Ha Productions, the founder and president Cameron Collins, who sent a hefty amount of cash to support an administration as atrocious as the Reagan was.

We won't let him get away with it.

Forget the damaged tape, save that gaff and sharpies.
Too bad we can’t just slap this on the American “justice” system and send it back to some AV warehouse for “repair”.

”Don’t Panic — Organize.”
