I've seen two of the Hulot movies and loved them.<BR/><BR/>That was a great list, Splotchy!SamuraiFroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313259493587442589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297297758242179856.post-1582548494464266252008-08-07T18:41:00.000-05:002008-08-07T18:41:00.000-05:00I'll have to indulge myself when I'm feeling a lit...I'll have to indulge myself when I'm feeling a little better.Comrade Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393718048145784837noreply@blogger.com
