Guys,
am I the only one who would not open an attachemnt in a message that 
screams from the top of its lungs "I am bogus"? European time or not... :)

BTW, Richard, I wouldn't lament the 3 mos delay too much. You are lucky 
to have access to the awesome European cinema. Unlike us here in the 
States who are force-fed the Hollywood bubblegum crap.
