French Films

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Apparently, I don't know what "hot" means in slang.

More than 57 films.

$111 million in box office receipts.

$67 million of that is one movie. A documentary.

That translates to "hot"?

It translates to me as "Please like the French again. Please."

Especially with lines like this:
US audiences cannot get enough French films this year, industry watchers told AFP at the Toronto International Film Festival, where a handful of US distribution deals were signed.


I actually own a French-speaking DVD. Anyone want to guess?

I fucking hope it ain't Brotherhood of the Wolf or Le Pacte du Loup or whatever the fuck it's called.

That was a semi-entertaining film till about halway thru.

I had to buy it mainly because it had an American Indian whooping a bunch of Frenchies using Kung Fu.

And yeah.... he dies about half way through...

Le Femme Nikita was a great film. Sure beat the fuck out of the American remake Point of No Return. Very gritty and the female lead looked good and could actually kick someone's ass in a convincing way.

And Leisher, since when has anyone liked the French?
Wadda mean? Other people can read this?!
