You're coming home from your job at a diner only to bump into a buff, handsome man with a serious gunshot injury. Instead of calling 911, you bring him up to your apartment, where you're overwhelmed by the urge to make out ...

I have often thought the same thing, after my own traumatic experience managing the UK home video campaign of Evangelion 3.33: You (Cannot) Release. Sorry! What? That's not ...
