Dude came up with the best titles ever.Pour que ces monuments du cinéma français ne tombent jamais dans l'oubli :
Je suis frigide... pourquoi ?
Embraye bidasse, ça fume
Marche pas sur mes lacets
Deux enfoirés à Saint-Tropez
Mieux vaut être riche et bien portant que fauché et mal foutu
Mon curé chez les bidasses
The rant is against that terrible "Génération Goldman" album, with all those soulless singers coming from reality TV, who I admit may have good singing skill but still completely ruin those songs. The worst offender is "Envole Moi", which should be both a lament and a powerful hymn, and not that... sweet-sour thing (I also heard a version from an Armenian clone of André Rieu that was even worse). And their "Je te donne" has the only merit of being worse than the cover by World's Apart, which is quite an achievement.
And I just learnt yesterday that there was a second album on the way... ;_;
ololJe me permets d'interrompre ce flim parce qu'on se fout un peu de ma gueule : c'est du vol et du plagiat. J'aime pas trop les voleurs et les fils de pute.
(Et tant qu'on y est: Godard, ok il est mi-français mais où est Truffaut ???!? Et Sautet, Doillon, Carné, Clouzot, Polanski (juste pour faire chier les américains), Demy, Pialat, Chabrol, Eustache, Claire Denis, Bruno Dumont, Arnaud Desplechin, Costa-Gavras, Depardon, Ozon, Rappenau, Resnais, Rochant, Tavernier, Téchiné, Alain Corneau, René Clément, Louis Malle, Jacques Tourneur, et Verneuil et Rohmer et MAX LINDER et VARDA et RENOIR et MAX PECAS ???)

And don't forget this true modern classic.

Le Baltringue is a Pecas too?
Le Baltringue is a Pecas too?
How did I miss that!Nope, he died before this masterpiece came out.
Réalisateur : Cyril Sebas
Production : Wesh Wesh Production
Budget : 4 millions d'euros
Nombre d'entrées : 41 1092
Oh my...
Haha no, but since we were at bad but classic French comedies, citing "Le Baltringue" was obvious to me.
As for Music, I'll add the new wave of 80's sounding bands/singers that are quite rising up right now like : Lescop, La Femme, Aline, Granville or Juveniles.
Here I thought we were going to discuss wine and cheese...

How the hell did Kenji Kawai let himself get involved in that piece of crap?How did I miss that!
Also Samourai
I'm originally from Germany (Berlin), but have been living in France (Versailles) for ~8 years now. Never looked back, love it here, only problem is that I STILL don't speak the language. I understand some, and can speak enough to communicate on a very basic level, but not much more...
Every year I tell myself - this year I will learn French, for sure.
Every year, I fail. Last year I got close, even took some lessons at a language school (Berlitz). Maybe this year I can continue with that. I would hate to leave France at some point in the future without ever having learned to speak French.

The worst film I've ever seen in a cinema.
Street Fighter is leagues better!
Oh my... you watched that in a cinema ? I feel for you... I watched it on a hotel TV while I had nothing else to do, and the pain was still almost physical. That's easily the most cringeworthy movie I've ever watched.
Any tips to learn German? I've had some German classes in collège and lycée (to which I paid no attention) but I truly fell in love with German when I watched Inglourious Basterds and I've wanted to master it ever since. I'm comfortable with the syntax, some of the grammar (down to the accusative, dative and even genitive cases) and I also know some vocabulary, but my skills are not strong enough for me to converse in German or understand a newspaper (you have so many prepositions and detachable particles like zu, vor, auf, bei, doch, noch, weg, ja, it's hard to remember how to use them. This, and the vocabulary is completely different from Romance languages.I'm originally from Germany (Berlin), but have been living in France (Versailles) for ~8 years now.

Haha, I saw it for free on M6, many years ago.Godspeed! It's not easy but you should pick up most of it by just living here, the structure of the language should be yours already.
That's a valid question, personally a better one would be : How the hell did I let myself pay for this!
What is it?

this thread should be about the art of banging american students wandering drunken in the street of Paris on saturday nights.

How is Marseille? It looks graet in the movies and it´s on the Med. I have never been to France but Marseille looks really nice to me. Is Leon good too? I have a cousin who lives there.
Surely you mean Lyon ?How is Marseille? It looks graet in the movies and it´s on the Med. I have never been to France but Marseille looks really nice to me. Is Leon good too? I have a cousin who lives there.
If you're listening to the news, it's the far-west. Actually, I don't think it's that bad, but yeah pretty city otherwise. Again it's the South, weird mentality, not as much hospitality as the north of even Paris.
Surely you mean Lyon ?
(we're talking about movies right now and Leon is the French title for The professional )
What's frightening about Marseille is not that AK-47 are circulating freely among gangsters, it's that AK-47-wielding gangsters are young, extremely trigger-happy, don't have a code of honor and will use their rifle if you even look at them the wrong way.How is Marseille?

I'm worried about this as well. At age 31 I'm afraid I'm going to have a tough time learning to speak well. :\I'm originally from Germany (Berlin), but have been living in France (Versailles) for ~8 years now.

Here's the definitive review of Samourais: http://www.nanarland.com/Chroniques/chronique-samourais-samourais.htmlTo be fair there's a Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge amount of stuffs to facepalm in this movie.
It's also a legendary mashup of all the racial stereotypes possibles : arab, asian, black...
It's only missing the white guy stereotype to push to the next level.
Québécois detected?Je suis tombé en amour avec votre pays lors d'un séjour de 3 mois à Montpellier l'été passé. Good times.

Quebec-GAF : If you never heard of it, go watch Le Grand Détournement
Je parie que vous êtes tous super bonnes en strings.

Ha, a fellow Versaillais Maybe the franco-german highschool of Buc has some evening classes to learn french? I had a german childhood friend who went there.

By the way, does Mädchenhandelsschule sound as funny to you as it does for me?
Thanks!However, once you are able to speak it a little and are looking for practice, you might be able to find a meeting of Germans and German-speaking French people in your area. In Paris, there are some weekly or bi-weekly meetings, Versailles has a meeting twice a month, and I'm sure other areas do too. You can check out AFASP for info on some of these meetings.
Yeah, that's what I meant. My syntax analysis teacher taught me that word and how easy it was to mistranslateOh, and I believe we would say "Mädchen-Handelsschule", rather then making it a single word, to avoid the confusion on whether it's a business school for girls, or a school teaching trafficking of women.
Thanks!

I would have agreed a few years ago, but Citroen (with the DS line) and the latest Renault (Clio 4) have produced some great cars lately. I really love my DS3.
