p.s. Hey. Are you guys game to play this q&a; game that Variety played with John Waters? I hope so. I’ll be looking in to see if you were game or not sometime today, I think. No pressure, though.
Now available in North America 
Hi…thank you for the blog; interesting reading. Thought I should point out that your "gratuitous" photograph of Jean-Baptiste Maunier, lovely as it is, is in fact a picture of Alex Pettyfer. Equally lovely.
thanks,
David
