I was recently asked by Man Crates to write a post about what I would want in my retro man crate. They’ve got some pretty cool gift ideas on their site and a retro one obviously caught my imagination. So here goes with my Top…
I could mention that there are spoilers in this post, which there are, but if you’ve seen the trailers then it’s basically all been spoiled already anyway! I’ll be totally honest, I really wasn’t all that bothered about watching this film. I just wasn’t all…
