[Frameworks] Please help

[alex.mccarron at gmail.com]

It's a movie me and my auto-correct are writing together.

Full disclosure: I am a young crank and I would love to have an esoteric conversation about reversal vs. negative but it saddens me that all web communities do this, turn into stuffy cohabitations with people you used to enjoy. 

If the galleries and theaters don't want experimental film surely places like this are the future and we should find some way to let dumb jokes pass by without comment.

I will take my comments off the air.

Always,
Alexander
