We have to begin filming our next movie right now. Jose: But senor Klinck, we are exhausted from all this acting. Can't the cast take a siesta, please? Matthiew: NO. My goal is to produce more films in Belize, the film industry here is shit. I wanna create as many movies as possible so that this country gets international recognition.

We have a few like Gertrude or Mabel or Erma or Inez. Hortense and Dierdre are a couple winners too. Emma was on that list 30 years are ago but has made an incredibly strong and fresh comeback. 'Twas my grandmother's name and was highly considered for my daughter, so much so we called her that about a week whilst she was womb-bound. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, but who he? Not on my long list. I've read your linked artical and find that your size for size comparison (in my considerd view) is way mistaken. David Bowie was a giant of a great in his sphere, and beyond. As directors of film go, this French guy was not only not previously known to me, it needed a boring artical to tell me he was considered to have been very good at what he did. Thus and therefore he never became a giant in his scope of work. Because his story never cut beyond the fan base. Sorry, but one "wave" don't make a storm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
