the way things change.... the way they stay the same. billy wilder held up a twisted mirror to his own time and created classics for the ages. human nature was rotten then and it’s rotten now. watch those black hearts drip.
Back in the old days people used to get stuck in caves all the time. But nowadays no one ever does. Probably because they are all too busy playing on the damn computer....
