Followup review: “SpearTip did the job requested, but they didn’t clean up afterward and left unsightly debris behind, leading to public embarrassment. Two and a half stars.”

Equally obligatory:

Don’t you mean DONALD TRUMP “INDICATED”? :)

So no bootleg copies have shown up yet? Anecdotes from the crew? Would be nice if the audience had the final word, even if it was “Meh.”

“I’ve stopped lying.”

One of my briefest but most-cherished celebrity encounters: Some friends and I were driving through West L.A. and one of them pointed out her house on Bonhill Road.
