The two persons represented in this post are Mr Eric Goldberg and Mr Duncan Marjoribanks ,two animators I admire.

#256 J'aime ce film.

For me,Mr Jean Dujardin is a wonderful combination of great french actors such as Mr Dupontel, DeFunes and Belmondo .It was great to see him impersonating another great actor Sean Connery.
Un gros merci aussi a la serie Un Gars une Fille et aux sketchs de Florence Foresti pour tous ces moments precieux de franche rigolade.Je dedicace ce dessin a un copain Christophe Lautrette.

#255 Fruit Face

You can't be a fan of "spaghetti" westerns if you've never heard of these two names.They are the Asterix and Obelix of live action .Thank you both for all these comedies.

#238 Shagedelic

I've always been fascinated by these little urban cars.
I drew this one from a movie I saw on Utube.
I love the way they fold up once parked.
I guess you get out from a curb with your remote,rotate the wheel 90 degrees, move the car sideways and let it unfold .
I dedicate this little drawing to my friend Lucas Janin.
I recommend all Dreamworkers see his wonderful photo exhibition(Aperitif de Voyage) at the studio.

#235 S.O.S Super Hero

Everybody needs the intervention of a helping hand once in a while.
The "Champion"here seems to have a good grip on the problem.

#234 How can you love such an ugly monster?

I do. Lon Chaney, Charles Laughton, Anthony Quinn and Anthony Hopkins, or even animated by James Baxter,they are all fantastic acting performances. As Esmeralda ,I must say Gina Lollobridgida is terrific .
Because of the way the movie ends, my favorite adaptation is the version with Anthony Quinn and Gina Lollobridgida

#233 Busting out

Thanks for the mammaries Mr Russ Meyer.I read that Quentin Tarantino is to do a remake of this classic cult movie...in 3d ?
