Not a blockbuster.  It's a film based on a novel by a woman named Alice 
Sebold, called "The Lovely Bones."  Weirdly, we'll have _two_ world-class 
directors in our tiny township at one time while he's here filming, because 
M. Night Shyamalan happens to live here.  Not, of course, in my decidedly 
middle-class part of the township; he's on a huge estate in the old-money 
section.  'Course, I still haven't forgiven him for "Lady in the Water," but 
I haven't run into him in Starbucks or the supermarket so I haven't had a 
chance to let him know...  :-D

I think that the mere acting of listing them for auction will bring the 
painters back.  <g>
