Depends on how you define "culture." And perhaps what color your skin
is...Most of the (mostly east-of-the Mississippi-derived) gringos here who
whine about the 'lack of culture' don't quite get it. I see lots of
culture. But Hollywood (the industry, not the community) is blind to that
for obvious reasons.

Truffaz through the net (this list and virtual word of mouth). I do own a
copy of "The Mask."
