I think 'The Lost World' could've been a successful movie except for the fact that it pre-dated the good special effects and computer graphics.

Spying is a like a game of chess: Sometimes you have to withdraw, sometimes you have to sacrifice one of your pieces to win - preferably a knight rather than a king or queen.

Dior jeans are one of my favorites.
