Re: NOW PLAYING (100 YEARS AGO)

...The publicity stills below show Normand with a bear, which appears in the film (although I could not determine in what context): About three-quarters of the way through, there's scene in which while Suzanna and Ramon are dining alfresco out in the Sonoran Desert, the bear comes in and swipes the...

In my high school biology class, we were required to have an insect collection. My teacher went nuts if anybody said "bug collection." That's when I learned that all bugs were insects, but not all insects were bugs.

Hope this doesn't bug anyone.
