They filmed the final game in the Butler fieldhouse when she was a student there and they were looking for extras to fill the seats.

They are both five star films for me.<br /><br />The editors tend to not add new animated films (WALL-E being the only one and they removed it the next year; Toy Storys and Prince Achmed are older ones) or superhero movies (The Dark Knight is the only one they've added and Batman is the only other one on the entire list, I believe.)Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-15189655483881501232013-12-27T09:39:12.768-06:002013-12-27T09:39:12.768-06:00I am completely fascinated by what you mean by &qu...I am completely fascinated by what you mean by "black hole film."
