Anya ,'Storyteller'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The Barbarian Invasions is the only Quebecois film I've seen in recent memory. That was Quebecois, right?
Yes, that's Denys Arcand.
When megan says Quebecois, I think she means Francophone Quebecois, not just from Quebec.
Yes. Also, sadly, not cool-but-obscure Corwood bands, but more generic stuff.
Are they actually French-Canadian or am I misremembering?
They sing in French a lot. They sing one of my favorite Christmas songs, Il est né le divin enfant
The new Hulk trailer is out: [link]
There are rumors that Ed Norton is unhappy with the movie's edits: [link]

When megan says Quebecois, I think she means Francophone Quebecois, not just from Quebec. But those bands are all from Quebec.
Being a lifelong resident of the Southern United States, I am very confused by your distinction.

All I got is Celine, then. Hey, completely off-topic (I mean, this is neither a music or lit thread), I just wanted to mention Carl Wilson's 33 1/3 book on Celine Dion is getting great press. He's apparently mainly questioning the state of rock criticism and received ideas of taste. I pre-ordered mine from Amazon a while back, but I've yet to receive a copy.
Doesn't Norton hate everything?
Kate and Anna McGarrigle.
They're from the Maritimes, aren't they?
Favorite (ok, only) Quebecois movie I own: La Florida.
I was gonna say, there are rumors that Ed Norton is unhappy with the cut of Citizen Kane, and he has notes.

Them what are talking French most of the time, count. Them what are not, don't count. And French you learned in college and only use to intimidate people when reading a wine list doesn't count either. Being actually in Quebec, or from there, is only a partial factor in the analysis.

Do what now? So what about them what are mimes?

Hah. Ask the pur lainers about that.
But yeah. Quebec even has a separate category to describe people who grew up speaking neither french nor english. Like U.S. primary states, they only count sometimes.
