Joey's Morning Note for Tuesday, October 10, 2017
The Star Wars trailer is out, my response is meh. Rogue One was a great movie, I truly enjoyed its gritty plot line. I’m not much for nostalgia and The Force Awakens didn’t appeal to me. Also, I can suspend my disbelief for most Sci-Fi movies, but the…

Photography, Challenge, Focus, and Fun
