Sounds like something they put together so that their department would pay for them to travel from France to San Diego so that it could be presented.

(i rewatched two of the movies after i saw the poster...it damn near killed me, the writing is so bad.)<BR/><BR/>was going to send you the poster but can't find an email addy (don't blame you there) and don't know that i'm supposed to have it, so can't be posting it all over the web, now, can i? ;-)<BR/><BR/>i'm tempted to argue there are some histrionic behaviors to go along with the rest of his cluster B sz, but that might just be all the really bad acting/writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-14272363331508015922007-05-25T20:47:00.000-04:002007-05-25T20:47:00.000-04:00Hi Roy.
