The Legendary Club-Footed Pigeon of Paddington Station

Ladies and gentlemen, the captain has turned on the fasten seatbelt sign, please return to your seats and prepare for the worst landing EVER!

some dude in paddington station.

So the Cote d"azur hasn't changed, but oh yes, the conditions have...

let's just say that some people in certain positions are making other people, in subserviant positions quite uncomfortable with their lack of communication, moneys, etc.

but on the bright side, Rick Linklater's new picture, or one of them I should say--"Fast Food Nation" was pretty darn good. so i got that going for me. hopefully "A Scanner Darkly" will be as good or better. We'll see if Keanu can pull off that magic as only he can. More on this and the other competition film screened so far "Summer Palace," to come. plus pictures. and an assurance of more coherent thoughts.

Signed,

Penniless on the Riviera
