Jabootu's Bad Movie Dimension

We finally got out of the '50s and '60s, but there was continuity. Next up (I *think* Jamie and Mike suggested it?) was the French film The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010).

Wow, for such an old cover this sure has a lot of sax and violins. Thank you, ladies and germs, I'm here all week.
