aaa (MOVIE119 update 29A08) Greetings Campers! Summer will soon be upon us, and that means most of you will be coming back, again, to Camp Betaville. And I have a special treat in store for 2008. I have stocked the Camp library with my very favorite films. (But not the obvious ones, that you've surely seen.) But perhaps, I should introduce myself, for you new campers. I am Tom Small. I am ... the caretaker here. I have always been the ... caretaker here.
