But though he hopes to make a film soon in Florida, based on Pete Dexter's novel The Paperboy, Almodovar's roots are deep in the Iberian psyche. He has never filmed outside Spain.

...plain as, well, the nose on your face. Why not skip the mouth and spritz the zinc directly into the old proboscis? They developed a gel that can do just that and tried it out on 104 volunteers. The results of this study, having been withdrawn once, will probably never be published in a scientific journal.
