*sigh*

I tried to watch Moulin Rouge on tv and got bored very quickly.

It's nothing but a very long video clip, and I didn't feel anything, except a certain annoyance like the one inspired by advertising videos of Chanel n°5 starring Nicole Kidman or worse, the last H&M one!

The video clip generation must have loved it...but movies-wise it's a heavy piece pretending to be daring and original. It isn't creative it's simply pompier.

I kinda liked Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet though...Oh well.

Controversial stuff

I've been watching a tv program for about 2 hours about two very important subjects for us, French people, especially if you are a teacher as I am. It's a debate, something we so love here in France, between personalities, either politicians or historians or intellectuals or religious people. And I've been jumping on my chair for an hour! I wanted to slap the journalist who is leading the debate because he was just stupid sometimes and some of the points made were quite simplistic or mixing up everything.

( rant you may want to skip if you aren't interested in French debates, of course if you are curious and interested in what *I* think...just click! )

Armistice Day

I learnt on television today that there were only 6 "Poilus" left in France and I wondered how many World War I veterans  were still alive in other countries...
