This is another blow to the soap since another "core four", Ronn Moss, suddenly left the soap a few months ago.  Reports say it was a over a salary dispute.

2012 AFI FILM FESTIVAL HAS COME AND GONE...

So the 2012 AFI FILM FESTIVAL has come and gone.  I was kind of disappointed at the choices this year.  The previous two seasons seemed to burst with terrific award-worthy films.  This year, I was unable to see any of the Galas.  But alas, there were interesting documentaries and independent films to see.  Missing were any films from one of my favorite countries...
