In celebration of the upcoming ROTKEE release, I give you a very funny picture from this year's Oscar red carpet!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.
