Why don't you ask them?

Actually, to be quite honest, I haven't the foggiest who they are? So... who are these folks?

Juliet Binoche and Emmanuelle Béart are two of the leading French actresses. There are quite a few films that feature them and that I really like including:

Décalage horaire (Jet Lag) - Juliet Binoche
La Veuve de Saint-Pierre (The Widow of Saint-Pierre) - Juliet Binoche
Le Hussard sur le toit (The Horseman on the Roof) - Juliet Binoche
Un coeur en hiver (A Heart in Winter) - Emmanuelle Béart

Oksana Akinshina is a rising star and she's a Russian actress.

I honestly can't remember the last time I watched a movie!!!

Thanks for the info. Are you French perhaps?

No, I am not. I'm sure that there are quite a few who watch more movies than I do, but I'm pretty sure that I watch more movie that most. This basically gave birth to this website, yet Another Film Critique Website.

Yeah, initially, I was expecting that I'd be making a couple of million dollars monthly by now, and I'd be taking my company to public and listing it in NASDAQ and all, but it hasn't quite turned out that way ... (yet).

I personally think a website is like a baby. I think they grow at the same rate, given the number of websites out there. We've got more pages than people to read them!

90% of all websites fail. Do you know why? Because people give up on them! So the best thing to do, is be in the 10% that succeeds... and that takes a bit of time, patience, and nurturing - treat it like it was your baby!

We only hope that we'll see some result before it's too late ...

It will come. Even if it takes a couple of years. The way I look at it, it's gonna cetainly become a means to an early retirement for me! A lot of effort now, and a lot of reward then!

Yeah? Where do you plan on retiring? South Pacific? Southern France? Southeast Asia like Thailand?

Haven't had much time to think about such things in great depth. Perhaps I'd move around a bit... do a bit of the island thing... laptop, two palm trees, hammock, pina-colladas... satellite connection...
