Today's quotation

Actor Bruce Campbell: If you really analyze it, all the A movies are B movies....If you get bitten by a radioactive spider and dress up like a spider and fly around-- that's not only a B movie-- that's a 1950s B movie.

Interviewer: So Sam Raimi went on to make, uh, ...the three big Spiderman movies. And you have a cameo role in all of them, right?

Actor Bruce Campbell: Now, when you say "cameo," I would challenge that. I would go with "pivotal."

--Actor Bruce Campbell on NPR, 28 February 2009

Le petit aperçu d'Ailleurs

As of April 15th, all new cars in France will sport a new yellow license plate, which will no longer include the familiar two-digit number of the département at the end. (Paris is 75.) There was so much protest at the disappearance of regional identification (as in the U.K.) that the new license plate now includes a regional logo, like the black-and-white stripes of Brittany. The owner of the car can choose which region to identify with; it doesn't have to be the one he lives in.
