- Hilarious. Her son dyed his blond hair black, but she kept her long, curly, red locks. I'll bet that didn't stand out in Mexico. -- nm - GregW Dec 31, 04:34 6
  - the fact that she came back and he didn't - would likely indicate her lawyers have promised her no jail time -- nm - Epiphany Dec 31, 05:08 5
    - I think it has more to do with the fact that the reason for wanting to stay in Mexico is different for each of them. I don't think her return has - Krusty Dec 31, 05:25 4

mop -- 70MM is just the size of the film, not the aspect ratio (all IMAX are 70MM but not all 70MM are IMAX) -- (link) - humbug Dec 30, 21:30 9
- I know a little something about aspect ratios. What I didn't know was that people other than IMAX did 70mm. -- nm - New Year's Mop Dec 30, 21:33 8
