Because of the regular abuse and exploitation of women in Ukraine, they don’t believe in […]
Nick Cave (not be confused with Nick Cave) told Marc Maron that Russell Crowe asked him to write a script for Gladiator 2.

While its true that the Wikipedia crowd probably isn’t a perfect microcosm of a movie-viewing audience, there’s likely […]
