Who'd have believed we'd get two back to back movies set in 40s/50s Hollywood. After Trumbo I'm caught up in the Hollywood Black List. And I intend to stand up for the King Brothers who are described in Trumbo as Z list producers - who just happened to hire Dalton Trumbo to write GUN CRAZY. I'm trying to find out how many films Trumbo wrote for them.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-19173340101298745382016-02-14T12:56:18.204-05:002016-02-14T12:56:18.204-05:00I love your stuff.

"How to Be Single"? Nah. "Zoolander 2"? The original "Zoolander" wasn't that funny, a one-joke comedy.
