So why was Little Monsters recommended for me? Because I half-ironically bought The Wizard like five years ago. Also, I apparently bought Brokeback once, and, you know, all gay movies are basically the same. Just like all Fred Savage movies.

    tell me you’re taking advantage of their recommendation to spend almost $20 on a Nickelback album.

    I asked them whether I could pay even more for it. I don’t want Nickelback to go hungry because of me.
