Sometimes you just don't know

I saw  Renaissance, an animated French movie, yesterday, and still can't decide whether it was good or not. As you can see, the animation is stunning. It was filmed with actual actors first and they used Motion Capture thingies, then transformed into a black and white comic-strip style which turned into something you have NEVER seen before ! It's simply incredible.

In the year 2054 in Paris, police and the Avalon Corp. are trying to find a kidnapped researcher, Ilona Tasuievn...

For the non-French users of my flist, here's the trailer:

Renaissance

 

( Bilingual thoughts )

Re-watching season 5

I used to think that "Buffy vs Dracula" was poor and mattered only for its final scene and the nice twist of Dawn's entrance but the episode may have had some qualities after all...It echoed a lot of stuff from "Restless".

Among them, the Willow/Giles scene that pointed out the special bond the two of them had, something thta Giles' dream already showed in "Restless". And I liked this line:

Willow: Just call me the computer whisperer.

Later Willow and Xander are chatting and Willow mentions a secret, and we get again an echo of "Restless" about Willow's fears and Xander's fantasies:

Xander: News flash, Will. Everybody knows.
Willow: No, thi-this isn't about me and Tara.
Xander: Oh. Well, not that I wouldn't be all ears if you wanted to tell me a secret about you two. Even if it was very, very naughty.


Also Xander's behaviour as Dracula's butt-monkey reminds me less of Reinfield and more of Glory's minions!

Speaking of foreshadowing stuff, I think that Buffy reading a book on the crusades at the beginning of "The Replacement" (that I'm currently watching) was kinda a clue.....announcing the Knights of Byzantium !

BTW  some lines are priceless : 

Buffy: If Xander kills himself, he's dead.

And I still love "Real Me", Harmony is just so funny. And Spike blowing a kiss to Mort cracks me up every time and at the same time sexy rowrrrrrrrrr !!!!
