Hey, that's me! And I got to reference the classic book "Final Cut: Art, Money, and Ego in the Making of Heaven's Gate, the Film That Sank United Artists" in the opening paragraph!

As Black History Month approaches, a reminder that HORROR NOIRE, the best-reviewed documentary of 2019, is at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, but is still not “Certified Fresh” because there are only 38 reviews (RT says limited release movies require 40). Is this the year? Will you answer the call?
