Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape  

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

"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?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If a Quebecois mime weren't French, would he have to perform his act a second time in French?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If a Quebecois mime weren't French, would he have to perform his act a second time in French?

Yes. It's exactly the same act, but he does it with contempt for the audience.
