“I’m not good at this.” More painful than a blow torch to the head, a can of paint to the skull, or a nail to the heel of the foot, […]

CODA (2021)
“Do you have something to say?” It’s not often that both the funniest and the most heartfelt pictures of the year coalesce as one, but I think that might end […]
