A French film, known in English as Orphan.
Divided into four significant periods of her life–childhood, puberty, adolescence, and adulthood–four different instances in a woman’s life represent fragments and diverse aspects of her existence. Renée, an emotionally damaged teacher committed to educating underprivileged youth, wants to start a family to get her life back on track. However, her past returns with a vengeance when addicted gambler Tara re-emerges after seven years of absence to tie up loose ends. Taking a step back in time, Sandra, a careless woman in her twenties, crosses paths with grizzled professional gambler Lev at the racecourse. But as the financially challenged lady accepts to carry bet money to the cashiers as a “mule”, Sandra’s complicated life takes a dangerous turn. Further back in time, precocious teenager Karine looks for attention in all the wrong places. As a result, she mistakes the merry-go-round of parties and superficial relationships for normalcy. A long way back, a game of hide-and-seek turns into a disaster, leaving innocent country girl Kiki changed forever. And as the fractured portrait of four interconnected stories depicts the soul of a fearless woman, the essence of a complex individual determined to find freedom comes to light.

Happy Booger Day
This is the newest Holy Day of Obligation on the Scoopy Calendar – Curtis Armstrong’s 71st birthday.
Like all of my saints, Curtis makes any movie or show better by his very presence. He started out as the snarky sidekick in almost every single youthploitation film of the 80s: Better Off Dead, One Crazy Summer, Risky Business and all of the Nerds movies. His characters had names like Ack Ack and (of course) Booger. He continued his sidekicking on the Moonlighting series, supporting Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd.
He later matured into more mainstream character parts, including a great job in a non-comic role in Ray as Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic records, and an important figure in the incorporation of gospel, R&B and jazz music into the mainstream.
In addition to his day job as an actor, Curtis is many other things: a game show host and a Baker Street Irregular, for example. Above all Booger is the loveable epitome of all things nerd.
But 71 years old? How can that be?
What can you say? For guys born in the 1980s, this is their equivalent of Phoebe Cates in “Fast Times.” It was our scene of the year by a vast margin, garnering more votes than all of the other entries combined.
