Dalton Castle — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 17:54:01 +0000

Albany’s Knickerbocker Film Festival is set to kick off in April, which raises excitement and questions. Like “what the hell is a Knickerbocker”? Sure Carmelo Anthony and Jason Kidd are technically knickerbockers but there’s got to be more to it.

The late Elizabeth Taylor has gotten the ultimate diss from the grave: her talented life of fame is going to attempt to be portrayed by the famed-for-bad-reasons actress Lindsay Lohan. She will be playing the part of Taylor in a Lifetime movie titled Liz and Dick.

We all remember sprawling out on the floor as children to get out our Legos and build whatever came to our imaginations- or whatever picture was on the box, like I did.
