Stop Turge Babonet
You remember Turge Babonet, of course...He's the possibly fictional film producer whose advertisement in Craig's List I brought to your attention in this post.
As you'll recall, I couldn't find this man, who purported to be a big-time film producer, on either Google or IMDB, leading me to believe that it was a false identity, and the whole post was a joke. But now, we have an Anonymous post on that article directing me to a site campaigning against the scourge of Turge Babonet, whom they claim is widely considered "the Flemish Orson Welles."
Am I the victim of some mass Internet prank? Is this all a publicity campaign for Christopher Guest's new mockumentary, chronicling the life of one Mr. Turge Babonet? Or is Turge for real, an artistic genius unfortunately directing films in a language spoken only by 6 million people worldwide? I'll do my best to find out for you, Inertia-ites, if you define "my best" as "nothing except wait for more clues in my comments section."

Since Mssr. Babonet and his staff have been too busy trying to get his car washed, which was repossessed anyway, it has been up to the folks at the anti-Turge camp to assemble what will serve a the definative T.B. filmography (ie avoid these films at all cost)

Upcoming will be a list of quotes where we can only guess T. Babonet did not know that microphone was on.
I found these in the Internet Movie Archive. Is this the same Turge Babonet?
