I love the French poster for "Sleuth" (I guess it's the Mankiewicz's film remake). A big movie review is printed on the top of it:

"A masterly jigsaw puzzle-like movie as great as the cast - excessive.com"
(Of course it's translated from French so don't look for that site)

By the way, my knee bruise went through all the rainbow colors, and finally ( Read more... )

I just discovered the incredible Aristocrats joke history. Actually I've seen a couple of variations before I understand what it was about today. This is the kind of joke that you have to tell to someone who already knows it because it's much funnier to see all the new forms of the Aristocrats joke that have been created. I found that site that ( Read more... )

For those who think that French people have a very subtle sense of humor, I have one thing to say : I like Sarah Silverman. That could mean I'm not French, or that could mean the first statement is wrong. Or it could just prove that every personnality has a gross side.

Yesterday I wanted to go to the movies, to see a french gore movie (that's rare enough to be mentioned). I stepped out of the train, but when I was alone in that creepy corridor I was attacked by two young men. They asked for my phone and then searched my pockets, stole 20 euros, took my credit card and everything that keeps me alive (I mean my two ( Read more... )

I just went on www.myheritage.fr and checked out what celebrity I resemble the most. And guess who? Susan Sarandon! I knew I'm a little androgynous but... I mean, Susan Sarandon! Actually I kinda like it. I saw "Thelma and Louise" on TV the other day I thought 'damn if I were a woman I would definitely be Louise in that movie". And now, who could ( Read more... )

I found this great quotation from french director Olivier Assayas in an article about night and cinema. I hope the translation I made is good enough, it is a good exercise for me to improve my english!

"Shooting at night is like writing at night and at home : you are in a paralel space, away from the rythm of the world, you woke up at an unusual ( Read more... )

I'll remember my first day of January 2008. My brother was driving my mother and I to my sister's. One of the retrovisors was broken (the mirror was missing) but still attached to the side of the car. I don't remember how it happened (maybe an unlucky insomniac deer and beer cans under the brake pedal) but this thing was moving and about to fall, ( Read more... )

I haven't post anything this year, since this stupid Nicole Kidman shirt thing in December. A lot of things happened in my life though. I became a member of the Snails Conservation Organization during the night before Christmas when I knew that we actually eat them for the "delicious" butter sauce and not for the taste itself (but don't look for a ( Read more... )

Thursday I went on shopping (though I hate that, I was actually with my sister) and I found an incredible shirt. Real newspaper articles were printed on it. If you look closer, you can see that among other articles, there is a picture of Adrien Brody and Nicole Kidman at the Oscars. Do they know that they have their faces printed on thousands of ( Read more... )
