things you need to know: if you don’t like a movie, you can just sue the people who made you go see it

It’s true! Amazingly, no one realized this until Sarah Deming of Michigan — who is suing the distributors of Drive — let us know this was the deal.

At least it doesn’t use the “Evil shall with evil be expelled” tagline. That was really starting to bother me…
