Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I was gonna say, there are rumors that Ed Norton is unhappy with the cut of Citizen Kane, and he has notes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Being a lifelong resident of the Southern United States, I am very confused by your distinction.

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.

All mimes are French. Don't you know anything?

This is why I love Tom!

What cracks me up about all those entries is the fact that the French in fact use the word smash, when talking about tennis: faire un smash, smasher.

How about Quebecois filmmakers that aren't Denys Arcand?

Louis Saïa is the only one I know of, and that's due to Les Boys rather than any familiarity with Quebecois cinema.

Not too much, I'll admit. But mimes don't talk! Even knowing a priori that they're French, how would the Quebec government confirm that?
