Well, it's about that time, movie buffs.Come one, come all to "Billy: The Early Years" (which we posted on the Wall in May). Oh, you mean you haven't heard about it?

Night Shyamalan flop Maybe this has something to do with it:According to The Guardian, the film’s producers are still trying to get the blessings of Billy Graham and his family, including son Franklin, who was reportedly was not thrilled about not having been shown a script before the movie was made.Nice. That's the way to spark some cred about a movie. Ignore the family whom the movie is based and create it on books you have read instead. Sweet. What's next? Produce an archaeologist adventure movie known for capturing famed pieces of antiquity and have him find ALIENS instead? Oh wait.Well, without further adieu, my effort to build th
