It’s probably been over 10 years since I saw it again so can’t recall how it ended.
Merci.
“Delicatessen” was the 1st French film I saw — with other students learning French & teacher at a guy’s house — and I didn’t like it. Not a good film to see as intro to French film, too bizarre. It’s very French tho.
But “City of Lost Children” is very good but haven’t seen the entire thing. Started watching it in my early 20s cuz was on TV.
“Charade” - 📽️ Trailer
PERFECT film starring Audrey Hepburn & Cary Grant, both Actors I LOVE!
(Watched it first time as a kid originally.)
Definitely in the Top 20 of my Favorite Films Ever
A 6 year old child travelling by self during super busy holiday time gets placed on the WRONG plane to wrong city and airline gets blamed?
NO. That’s called BAD parenting!
I think Noam is one of the great thinkers of this era. Have you seen Requiem for the American Dream?
No, I’m not familiar with any of his stuff. Just aware that he’s a famous Linguist and very intelligent.
Thanks.
It’s a very whimsical, quirky, feel good 🇫🇷French film. Made Audrey Tatou famous.
The gnome thing is super cute! (Had one myself.)
I actually know 2 people who know Noam Chomsky and one did a project with him.
“Christmas in Connecticut” (1945) - film 📽️ Trailer
Starring Barbara Stanwyck
1 of my favorite Christmas films, seen as a kid.
Merry Christmas 🎄and Happy Holidays!
But FK YOU to those Assholes & Scum human beings who wave their so-called “good values” for show, but their BAD behavior & actions show otherwise of what kind of UNETHICAL & IMMORAL people LACKING Integrity, Character, Honesty they TRULY are!
FUCK YOU 🖕🏼to the Power Hungry Assholes GREEDY for money & power SELFISH Hypocrites who continue to support a Compulsive Lying Narcissist and ABUSE their roles!
You, SCUMS, will be going to hell and MANY of you DESERVE TO BE LOCKED UP FOR YEARS!
Hope Santa 🎅bring you, your romantic partner, mistresses, children and grandchildren pieces of BLACK COAL!
🕊️ Peace + ❤️ Love + 🥳 Joy
Frankly, I’m NOT feeling the Christmas spirit cuz of too many asshole jerks but merry Christmas to you! 🎄
Don’t you think it would be funny if Noam Chomsky got a gnome like Amélie?
🇬🇧Ladytron - “DESTROY EVERYTHING You Touch”
Current Mood! 🖕🏼
MANY people who have caused me LOTS of STRESS and RESPONSIBLE for my book not being published by Intelligent & Quality imprint YEARS ago WILL LOSE THEIR houses!
That’s called KARMA for being judgmental, scummy, asshole human beings!
And I will NOT be shedding any tears for them, their children nor grandchildren if they have any!
That time I spent Christmas ALONE — BY CHOICE — cuz travelling around 🎄🎁 holidays is a pain in the arse, expensive, too many long lines everywhere, many potential delays, too many people also travelling, etc!
And I did NOT wanna spend it with a guy — excellent cook; very interesting & talented but TOO draining cuz an Extreme Extrovert — who has been filtered outta my life for lying to me and other reasons.
I had a perfectly lovely time SOLO with my tiny🎄tree.
FYI: There is a BIG difference between being ALONE by choice — Solitude — and feeling lonely!
I suggest everyone learn to enjoy their OWN company cuz we are born alone and (most) die alone!!
Being in the WRONG romantic relationship (whether married or not) with the WRONG love match can be a more LONELY experience than being happily Single, by choice.
And if your romantic partner can NOT function on their own and have fun solo, that most likely means they are VERY NEEDY (also annoying to me!) and insecure as a person.
Most likely a girl/woman who talks way too damn much about incessant, stupid, shallow things and an Extrovert!
Ideally, your romantic partner is someone whom you can be QUIET together!
Personally, I’m NOT feeling the holiday spirit and do NOT give a fk what day it is! Bah humbug!
I am thinking KARMA and filing MANY lawsuits and the MANY Assholes who WILL BE FKING GOING TO PRISON and paying me LOTS & LOTS OF MONEY!
I’m talking about tipping well (~18% + minimum in USA, preferably 20%+ ) on a FULL-service sit down experience.
It’s ridiculous that there are so many tip jars and people expecting tips for other services!
Also, if a Bartender is simply handing over a beer, why do people need to tip several dollars for it?
That’s NOT difficult!
I think tipping culture in 🇺🇸 is BULLSHIT!
Also, I do NOT like the pressure to tip if business is using Square and similar thing with the auto suggested tipping feature.
Besides, it’s better to leave tip in cash!
In other countries, the customers aren’t having to pay for their wages. The restaurant/bar owners pay for it as part of doing business.
And in 🇬🇧England, ~10% is sufficient.
It’s MUCH BETTER in Europe and other countries imho!!
If I were having a literary dinner party (of Writers who are alive or dead), I would invite the following:
🇬🇧Neil Gaiman, 🇺🇸Toni Morrison, 🇺🇸Lorrie Moore, 🇳🇴Jo Nesbø, 🇨🇦Margaret Atwood, 🇨🇦L.M. Montgomery, 🇳🇬Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, 🇬🇧Zadie Smith, 🇩🇴🇺🇸Junot Diaz, 🇫🇷Anais Nin, 🇰🇷🇺🇸Chang-Rae Lee, 🇯🇵Haruki Murakami, 🇬🇧🏳️🌈E.M. Forster, 🇲🇽🇺🇸Sandra Cisneros,🇰🇷🇺🇸Paul Yoon, 🇸🇪Stieg Larsson, 🇫🇷Colette, 🇺🇸Adam Grant, 🇺🇸Henry David Thoreau, 🇺🇸Dave Eggers, 🇺🇸Mona Simpson, 🇯🇵🇺🇸Adrian Tomine, 🇮🇳🇺🇸Jhumpa Lahiri, 🇺🇸Claire Messud, 🇺🇸Craig Thompson, 🇺🇸J.J. Abrams, 🇮🇪Sally Rooney, and 🏴Steven Moffat.
I personally know several of them, spoken to a lot more, and share mutual friends/people with several of the Writers.
Obvi, these are ALL people I LIKE, think are interesting, intelligent and talented cuz why the hell would I invite people I do NOT like or is boring to a dinner party?!
