they're stars in french tv, but french tv doesn't exist.

in what country TV exists ?  the last emotion I felt was with Helen Mirren at the BBC.

Between reality shows,.talk shows and sport shows TV is today a real shit.

The more I watch TV and the more I love Movie.

Among current authors, I really like Michael Connelly, who's main character is Harry Bosch a homicide dick out of the Hollywood division.  Bosch, like most crime fiction policemen is always in trouble with his bosses and was demoted from RHD.  I think there are about 8 novels in the series with the first being Black Echo.

I red Angels Flight last night. Very good book.Thanks Franck

Thanks a lot  Shorty , very good job.

Red this morning, (After the Spaghetti-Western, the Cassoulet-Western)

Only for French Speaking people.
I'm afraid it should be 32 Milions Dollars lost in a trash, even in Almeria !


PARIS (AFP) - Le réalisateur français Philippe Haïm entame le 26 janvier à Cologne, en Allemagne, le tournage du film "Les Dalton" avec les humoristes Eric et Ramzy dans le rôle de Joe et Averell Dalton, le petit hargneux et le grand goinfre stupide.
Le tournage se poursuivra du 1er mars au 23 avril à Almeria, en Espagne.
Marthe Villalonga sera Ma Dalton, la maman de la terrible fratrie, véritable cerveau du gang en jupon, dont les deux autres rejetons seront incarnés par Saïd Serrari (Jack) et Romain Berger (William).

Jen Benguigui sera le chef du village et l'acteur allemand Til Schweiger (40 ans) sera Lucky Luke, le cow-boy solitaire qui chevauche Jolly Jumper et tire plus vite que son ombre.

Au générique de ces aventures picaresques et pittoresques figurent aussi les humoristes français Michaël Youn en cow-boy "vanneur", Elie Semoun en douanier, Kad en Mexicain et Michel Muller en guichetier de banque. Sylvie Joly sera Ma Billy, Marie-Pierre Casey Ma Cassidy et Ginette Garcin Ma James.

Lucky Luke a été créé fin 1946 par le dessinateur belge Morris, qui s'est inspiré d'authentiques malfaiteurs pour donner naissance, avec René Goscinny, aux frères Dalton. Ils apparaissent dans le 8e album, "Hors la loi".

Le film, dont le devis est de 27 millions d'euros, est produit par UGC avec préachat de Canal+. Il sortira en décembre 2004.

"Les Dalton" est le deuxième long métrage de Philippe Haïm, 36 ans, réalisateur de "Barracuda".

.

And you are correct about the Jewish ownership conspiring to withhold the publication of anti-Israeli polls.  I believe the Elders of Zion have that listed as Protocol #4.  

Is it only  humor ?  Could you explain it ? I ' m afraid .

Once Upon A Time In The West / Re:Harmonica's brother part of Frank's group?

« on: January 08, 2004, 08:22:02 AM »

I wonder why Frank was hanging him?  As the brother was cussing Frank, it was as though they knew each other personally.  Could his brother have been in Frank's gang?  Being punished for crossing him?  

Great idea !

But Harmonica's revenge is a victim revenge. Harmonica remember all the names of the victims murdered by Franck.
He shows a solidarity with those farmers. It is not only a family or personal revenge I.M.O.

About Harmonica and Franck, I m not sure that 20 years have passed after the hanging.

People  became old very quickly in the wild wild west and Harmonica jacket is still the same.

The R2 version sold in France is perfect.But this country  was choosen by Paramount to be the first country receiving the DVD last November.

May be a tribute to a Theater in Paris which showed the uncut movie during 5 years .

Frida was a very good surprise. Salma is perfect and the political/historical background not forgotten.Many inventive scenes and shots.

( I' m happy that Evita/Madonna did not obtain the role)

Shorty, I'm not able to import some picture from Lucky Luke website. Too bad because Colonel Mortimer is wonderful and all the others so-Leone characters  : Indians, Mexicans, Saloon pianists..

Is somebody able ? it should be great .

By the way nobody never made a study about relationship between Leone movie and Italian comics ? (I speak about the small format in black and white)
For example the friend of Captain Miki was very close to Al Mullock

Great film with a very male Tony Curtis (it is rare).

And an unforgettable shot: a  cut tree pushed by Vikings entering a castle door  .An historical penetration filmed from downside , showing a pair of wheel.

"Honni soit qui mal y pense" like English people says

And Borgnine jumping to the wolfs, and Kirk 's Iron hat..

To bad for all the Monica Bellucci 's fans. They will have the husband not the wife.

About Blueberry, remember the first books: the model was clearly jean-paul belmondo with broken nose and big lips?

If somebody open a new topic about comics, dont forget Lucky Luke ( from 2 Belgians, Morris and Goscinny) and his Leone-manner world.

I recently watched  PLATOON, remember Tom BERENGER in this movie: tough, scared, angry with yellow eyes.

Try to see the movie before answer me but I believe he could be a great Harmonica.

What you think about ?I iamgine him with a beige hat.

( in the others films Tom seemed to me a little bit too fat or weak. I tink that in PLATOON he is quite different.)
