No, the date isn’t a typo. December 27 may be a
Tuesday, but December 26 is one of the biggest (if not

William Shatner DVD club

writes, While not a film/tv review, more of a
website review that I thought folks would be

frequented bureau42 might be interested. It does
look interesting. I’m running short on storage space
for my collection, but I’m considering this.
