When you mentioned this on the last Wright Stuff night back in April, my friends and I were stoked - can’t wait!
“Wright is one of today’s true auteur filmmakers ” very nicely put
Another ace double bill, hope everyone has a fun night
I can’t wait, should be fun.
I love that poster of AOD, its from a very limited edition of AOD which I think there was just like 5000 copies evermade and the case itself is gold covered. Been trying to find one for years now.

So much for a Comic-Con appearance….
Uh. We are still filming. Tricky to get away.
