Ah it's spooky season again here on NNUTS. Have you ever thought to yourself, "Wow, this Tilda Swinton movie is great, but I wish she played two roles, no, three roles, and I wish that she created a false identity in real life with his own IMDB and entirely separate movie posters to cast as one of those roles"?
