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
Best wishes to you in your life in LA! I will certainly follow your writings there in the States.

Hello Sedulia !
Amerloque's first reaction was to check the date. No, it's not April 1st. A year or two ? ! ?
Travel safely. Keep in touch. C'est ici en France, la vraie vie.
Best,
L'Amerloque

I will miss your France stories, will you tell us about your life in LA? It's going to be weird is just too much of a cliffhanger!
Posted by: Zuleme | 29 January 2007 at 14:40
mais non! ce n'est pas possible!
The Paris blogging world loses a real jewel. I hope the Californians appreciate their gain.
Incidentally I wanted to point out how very, very classy I think it was that you were not pimping yourself around the blogosphere trying to get nominated for a Bloggie-- you're so much better than that. Especially when you've perfected the Paris blog as a genre. Well done, and good luck in Cali.

Oh, no! Your blog is one of the five that I check every day--I love your takes on French and American culture, and will be happy to follow you to L.A. (my old home). Be well, and thank you for all the enjoyable reading and photos so far. --Chrissoup in California

Thanks for all the kind words! I may need them !

Safe travels to you. I look forward to reading your anecdotes and observations on LA (is it LA or are we all assuming?) and hope that the occasion for the move is a positive one.
One of my favorite places there is in Topanga Canyon, called the...Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum...it's magic.
Best Wishes to you.

ooh. I was looking forward to commenting with "Happy Mardis Gras Sedulia" on Feb 20th. I will miss you, you often made my day with glimpse of my native City, and with your contribution to the Franco-American links

I will miss your writing style and your wit. Hopefully we will get your take on California- I'm sure you will find a few things to discuss.
Thanks.

Can't believe you are leaving! I've been enjoying 'your side' of Paris for a few months, from the comfort of 'my side' of Paris. You've taught me so much and given me a real window into another person's life in this city. Look forward to the new blog, and then the one after (back here!).
Posted by: sophie | 29 January 2007 at 22:10
Wow! What a change! I will dearly miss your take on life in Paris as a fellow American in Paris -- yet I'll be making my move in July. Your blog was my top French blog to read every single day! Yet as a California Girl, I look forward to your take on SoCal life!
