MOUTHPIECE - October 21, 2014

Good Afternoon,

I was never that good at carving a pumpkin so if you're in the same boat as me prepare to get super excited when you check out the 'Halloween Pumpkin Carving' game, I guess you'd call it.

Just carve away all night and all day! No mess, no over-powering pumpkin smell, and you don't have to worry about losing a finger. What's not to like?

Plus, there's some other stuff in the issue that deals with actors in bad movies and asking your boss for a raise, but online pumpkin carving is what's hip and happening in Mouthpiece! Enjoy!

Mouthing Off,
Carl

When Actors Explain Their Unpopular Movies
From Shortlist.com: It's often hard to tell how an actor really feels about the movies they star in. Forced into an endless stream of press during release, we're given a rehearsed spiel about how great the script was and how different the character is and we often struggle to see between the lines. But once the dust settles, the truth emerges.
