Important KFR Newsflash

I should’ve posted something earlier, but yes, that’s right: the banner at the top of this site is no longer true. I did manage — like seemingly 92-95% of the entire country — to see The Dark Knight.

Thought the upcoming animated Star Wars flick was just a relatively minor Lucasfilm effort meant for die-hards and to spark interest in an animated TV series? Because it sure looks like it. But think again! This puppy’s getting the full-court press.
