The first rule of Movie Club is, you do NOT blog about Movie Club. So much for that rule… Dr. Strangelove: Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. Brandon is organizing a movie club and our first assembly is tonight. We will be inaugurating our Movie Club with Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 […]
