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.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

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.

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.

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

You know, I've been looking for a new tag...

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think he needs to perform it the first time in French, and the second time, the English time, can be no longer or bigger than the first.

Really, don't all mimes do that anyway?

Has anybody heard anything about Married Life?
It has Chris Cooper and Patricia Clarkson, but I've never heard of it. And it's playing at my local theater this weekend.

I haven't heard a review, but it's the period piece about a potentially murderous unfaithful husband with Pierce Brosnan as the friend that he confides in. Looked well-made from the trailer I saw.
