You hissed and threw popcorn when the evil Nazi tried to sizzle information out of Marion'. You gasped when Mo/a Ram withdrew a beating heart from a human sacrifice! And all you were doing was watching. Well, load up on the popcorn and get your bullwhip ready, because we’re all through with that sittin’-on-thc-sidelines stuff!
