...International contributors are welcome, says Petty - "We have had three winners from England out of the 40, and we'd love to see people from other countries as well" - although the founders are leery of entrants from one foreign country: Nigeria. "The Nigerians were the one group of people who believed us from the first," Thompson said. "One guy immediately jumped on the site and tried to game it. It was either the guy himself posting multiple reviews under different names, or a bunch of his friends." The story, Thompson says, "was execrable, unfortunately...

Now!” yelled an impatient audience member from the balcony, and the series host ended his lengthy introduction and began this film of witchcraft, torture, and rampant sexual urges in 17th-century England. In lieu of a plot summary, which would—trust me—be absolutely pointless, allow me to mention some choice moments from the film that emphasize its key aspects.The dialogue, dubbed in English from its original French, included choice lines like “A woman?...
