1)Why isn't The Duchess of Langeais called Don't Touch the Axe, an exact translation of its French title and the name of the Balzac story it's based on? It's a clueless U.S. distributor who thinks Americans would rather see a movie called The Duchess of Langeais than one called Don't Touch the Axe.
2)I was talking to my aunt about movies on the phone the other day. She was telling me about a friend of hers who sees a lot of movies for free. "He gets free tickets because he knows people," she said. "He's a prison guard."
I'm slowly cleaning up the archives to make searching easier, e.g., combining all Deep Blues years into one tag, all Summit years into one, etc., and eliminating other tags that are not useful. (Uhmm... "Grover Cleveland"?)
