Le Film: Un excellent “Feel Good Movie”.

Synopsis:

L’amour est partout, imprévisible, inexplicable, insurmontable. Il frappe quand il veut et souvent, ça fait pas mal de dégâts…
Pour le nouveau Premier Ministre britannique, il va prendre la jolie forme d’une jeune collaboratrice.
Pour l’écrivain au coeur brisé parti se réfugier dans le sud de la France, il surgira d’un lac.
Il s’éloigne de cette femme qui, installée dans une vie de couple ronronnante, suspecte soudain son mari de songer à une autre.
Il se cache derrière les faux-semblants de ce meilleur ami qui aurait bien voulu être autre chose que le témoin du mariage de celle qu’il aime.
Pour ce veuf et son beau-fils, pour cette jeune femme qui adore son collègue, l’amour est l’enjeu, le but, mais également la source d’innombrables complications.
En cette veille de Noël à Londres, ces vies et ces amours vont se croiser, se frôler et se confronter…

Critique:

Une excellente comédie/comédie romantique ! Richard Curtis, scénariste entre autres, de 4 mariages et un enterrement, Coup de foudre a Notting Hill et des Bridget Jones passe derrière la camera, avec un casting 5 étoiles.

Ainsi, on retrouve Hugh Grant, abonne a ce genre de films en premier ministre et plus particulièrement en sorte Tony Blair, mais aussi Liam Neeson (Taken, Star Wars), Colin Firth (Bridget Jones, Mamma Mia et l’étrange noël de Scrooge), Emma Thompson (Je suis une légende, Harry Potter -Prof Trelawney), Alan Rickman (Severus Rogue dans Harry Potter), Chiwetel Ejiofor (2012, Les fils de l’homme, Inside Man), Bill Nighy (Walkyrie, Hot Fuzz, H2G2, Pirate des caraïbes, The constant Gardner, Underworld 2 &3), Keira Knightley (Pirates des Caraibes, King Arthur, The Duchess, Domino) pour ne citer que les plus importants. Mais aussi des apparitions de Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean), Elisha Cuthbert (24 heures chrono), Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie) et Billy Bor Thornton (The Barber, Eagle Eye, A l’ombre de la haine).

Tout ces acteurs s’en donnent a cœur joie dans leurs rôles respectifs, et bien que comme on le voit, un grand nombre de personnages se croisent et se décroisent (et c’est la l’idée du scenario) celui-ci est construit de telle manière qu’on ne sent sent jamais perdu, confus et au final, les 2h15 de film (ce qui est plutôt rare pour une comédie/comédie romantique) passent toutes seules. La photographie, très axée sur le rouge est magnifique et parfaitement retranscrite par cet édition. Si certains pourront reprocher le trop bien de bien-être et de tout le monde il est beau, dégoulinant pour certains, on répondra que c’est bien le genre de ce film qui le veut et une fois de temps en temps, un « feel good movie » ca fait du bien, surtout de ce calibre-la !

Un excellent film, qui plaira a tout le monde dans la famille que ce soient des amis, votre copine, et même votre belle-mère ne pourront que passer un bon moment pendant 2h.

L’image: Un très beau transfert

Ce transfert en Blu-Ray apporte un plus indéniable sur les éditions parues sur d’autres supports et on découvre une image encore meilleur que celle vue en salle.

Si ce genre de film ne se prête en général pas a un top démo, force est de constater, qu’on prend une claque des le début du film si tant est qu’on ai vu les précédentes versions disponibles.

La colorimétrie est magnifique avec des couleurs éclatantes, d’autant plus que la période de noël est une excellente base de ce point de vu la ! Les contrastes sont particulièrement bien retranscrits, les couleurs de peau naturelles et aucune tache, grain trop présent, ou autres défauts ne viennent altérer notre expérience visuelle.

On ne dénote pas d’Edge Enhancement et emploi heureusement minimal de Noise Reduction.

Et si on ne perçoit pas d’effet 3D, et que le piqué n’est pas au couteau, il se dégage une belle sensation de détails dans l a plupart des cas et au final, il est plus que sympathique que de redécouvrir (visuellement) ce film !

Au final et pour les possesseurs de précédentes éditions, la qualité de l’image est telle qu’il serait dommage de passer a cote de cette édition, peut être pas un rachat obligatoire,  mais pour les fans du film et ceux qui ne l’auraient jamais vu, achat recommandé, surtout vu le prix demandé !

80/100

Le Son: Une piste DTS HD MA 5.1 pas tonitruante, mais bien sympathique !

Qui dit comédie/comédie romantique dit bande son principalement frontale. Qu’en est-il ici ?

Malgré l’emploi d’une piste DTS Master Audio 5.1 en VO, pas de miracles ! Les voix sont parfaitement bien retranscrites dans le mix, quelques petits effets d’ambiance viennent ponctuer certaines scènes, mais dans l’ensemble rien de folichon !

La scène arrière reste timide, ainsi que le caisson de basses. Certes les passages musicaux, d’ailleurs assez nombreux, profitent au mieux de cette nouvelle édition, mais a l’exception de ces passages et de quelques petits effets, l’activité reste principalement frontale et dialoguée. Pas de quoi casser trois pattes a un canard, mais une piste son qui reste fidèle à l’esprit du film.

One of the greatest cinematic love affairs of the past half-century has been between British film fans and an angular, accident-prone beanpole of a Frenchman named Monsieur Hulot. The iconic comedy character created by the mime-turned-star and writer-director Jacques Tati has been tickling the funny bones of filmgoers since the release of the movie which introduced him – M. Hulot’s Holiday – in 1953. And it’s a love affair which is being celebrated at this year’s French Film Festival, with a retrospective of all of Jacques Tati’s screen work.

Tati may only have made a handful of films, but they have made a lasting impression on generations of viewers – and it’s not just the popular vote which they’ve earned. His admirers have included Orson Welles, David Lynch, Steven Spielberg and Belleville Rendez-Vous creator Sylvain Chomet who is currently transforming a previously unfilmed Tati script into an animated film.

Tati’s brilliance as a comedy actor has influenced at least two generations of comedians: John Cleese, Paul Merton and Rowan Atkinson, who described seeing M Hulot’s Holiday as “a defining moment in my life” (and paid homage to it in his 2007 film Mr Bean’s Holiday), are just some of the British comics who owe a clear debt to Tati and his very physical comedy style.

But what is it about Tati that makes him so well-loved – even by viewers who wouldn’t ordinarily go to see a foreign film? The main reason has to be his “everyman” appeal. Tati created easily identifiable types who everyone can recognise from their own experience – the postman who takes himself and his work too seriously in his 1949 film Jour de Fete (could he have been the inspiration for Cliff Clavin, the super-officious mailman in the sitcom Cheers?) and the eager-to-please social misfit M Hulot, who creates chaos out of order and is baffled by the technological trappings of modern life.

M Hulot’s fellow holidaymakers are also brilliantly drawn and would fit in to Fawlty Towers as comfortably as they do the Hotel de la Plage. There’s the veteran soldier who drones on about his wartime experiences, the meek, middle-aged sweety-wifey of a husband who is always several steps behind his banality-spouting spouse (“Oh, there’s another boat … and another … oh!”) during their saunters around the beach, and the workaholic businessman whose holiday is punctuated by frequent trips to the telephone (rather like the Tony Roberts character in Woody Allen’s Play It Again Sam).

The humour in Tati’s films is very physical – and therefore universal. Tati said that the way a comic actor used his legs was paramount, and he used his to maximum comedy effect, mixing loping strides with hesitant little shuffles as he tries to ingratiate himself into new people’s company. Physically, M Hulot is every bit as recognisable – even in silhouette – as Charlie Chaplin’s iconic Little Tramp.

The characteristic Hulot pose is of him tilting forward, with his head at a quizzical angle, his hat tipped over his eyes, his ubiquitous pipe at a right angle to his long nose, his arms bent behind him with his hands resting on his hips. Like Chaplin’s alter ego, he always wears the same kit – trousers that aren’t quite long enough, his Tyrolean-esque hat and stripy socks. He nearly always has his umbrella handy. He walks with a lolling gait, on well-sprung tiptoes and is undoubtedly a French cousin d’un certain Basil Fawlty.

Tati’s background as a mime meant that he was most at home devising visual gags, rather than writing and delivering one-liners or trading witter banter with another actor. Terry Gilliam, the Monty Python team member who became a director, has said: “One of Tati’s great qualities is that his films contain almost no dialogue. I find this particularly brilliant – these divinely French films that create no problem when it comes to subtitling. In terms of dialogue, Monty Python learnt everything from Tati. We owe everything to him.”

Tati’s films feature soundtracks of exaggerated, cartoon-like noises which heighten the effect of the visual comedy – the putt, putt, putt of M Hulot’s old jalopy as it chugs along the road, the be-doing of the restaurant door as the motley crew of hotel guests assembles for lunch, the crashing noise made by our hero’s racquet as he serves in the funniest tennis match in movie history.

The gags which Tati created for his films worked on a number of levels. Many of today’s Tati fans have grown up with M Hulot’s Holiday and have found that their appreciation of it has only increased with time, as they find more and more humour in it.

There’s the obvious, laugh-out-loud slapstick sequences, which appeal enormously to children, but most of the humour lies in the beautifully observed, often whimsical, details which are not flagged up, but are quietly unfolding in a corner of the screen. It pays to see Tati’s films in the cinema as so much happens in the background – and he actively avoided filming close-ups. Orson Welles once said: “There are performers who are only good in full figure. Move in on Tati and he literally disappears.”

Of course, the films also appeal to anyone with a fondness for France and the French way of life. They celebrate the quaint, the eccentric and a lifestyle which Tati saw being replaced by a faster, more consumer and technology-driven one. Jour de Fete and M Hulot’s Holiday are lovely to look at, since they are set in unspoilt rural France, and they move at such a leisurely pace that you can soak up the detail of both the comedy and the setting.

Terry Jones, another Monty Python graduate, has said of Tati: “He was a visual genius. His films, without being silent, all have the qualities, the beauty and the richness of silent film.”

Even by the time he made his third film, Mon Oncle (1958), Tati was beginning to show signs of self-indulgence in his work. His subsequent films – PlayTime (1967),  Trafic (1971) and Parade (1973) – are reviled and revered in equal measure. But Jour de Fete and M Hulot’s Holiday are perfect comedies that showcase Tati’s comedy at its most pure – and most appealing.

* The Totally Tati retrospective is on at the Glasgow Film Theatre and the Edinburgh Filmhouse now. The BFI’s new box set of five Tati films is out now.

From one British comic to another. The man that started Monday’s night of laughs, actually. I was watching a vintage clip of Rowan Atkinson yesterday that he did with John Cleese when I clicked on the Eddie Izzard related video that started me down the path of laughing to the point of almost asthma. The vintage clip was funny, but I like this one better.

Can’t remember when I first saw stand-up acts. It was on TV for sure. Maybe when I was on holiday overseas as a kid. I recall some really funny ones. And some that were more profanity than comedy. (I didn’t mind the profanity; it’s just that at some point it was profane just for the shock value and the jokes weren’t funny at all.)

Anyway, at the time I saw this, I thought it was brilliant. The amazing part, the whole Atkinson special has some hilarious physical comedy skits à la Mr Bean alongside his monologue sets. Amazing. The man wasn’t just scalpel-sharp in his wit, he was versatile as well. And that was even before I started on Blackadder.

But he’s more than just funny. In a BBC interview with Parkinson about the narrow gap between tragedy and comedy, Atkinson said: ”The darker, more serious the backdrop into which you set your comedy, sometimes the brighter your little sparks of comedy sets out in sharp relief against it.” They were talking about the famous and poignant poppy-filled last scene of Blackadder. Good chap.

I love Shakespeare. Obviously.

But every so often (and usually when I am trying to memorize lines), I want to take a leaf out of Blackadder’s book:

I actually really liked Branagh’s Hamlet, though (except for the absurd chandelier part. You know the one). So we’ll just agree to disagree there, Rowan Atkinson.

‘‘And now, for something completely different!”

On October 5th, the Monty Pythons team celebrated  the 40th birthday from  their first broadcast on the BBC, with their series ”Monty Pythons Flying Circus”  on October 5th, 1969.

A few years later, as a young student in the UK, even though my English wasn’t very good at the time, I used to watch them and found their show really hilarious! Even nowadays, I still recall many of their sketches and have a good  laugh  by myself. In fact, their style of humour, wacky, zanny, unconventional, call it what you will, was full of vibrant ideas, and the viewer was taken by surprise, never knowing what to expect. Their writing was revolutionary, as it did away with traditional style sketches. It had no punchlines, and often ended abruptly.

Monty Pythons have acquired so many fans worldwide. Their humour is unique and has lasted for so many years as it spans all generations. Their anarchic , groundbreaking style has created the most imaginative comedy on British TV.

Their 40th birthday gave me the idea to look at the astrological signature of the team. It is worth noting here that , on October 5, 1969,at about ”11.00 pm”, as the BBC site mentions as the time of broadcast, there was a stellium of the planets Mercury,Uranus, Sun and Jupiter in wide conjunction in the 4th house, all in wide sextile to the Moon in Leo in the 2nd house – the Moon being the ruler of the Ascendant.

Being a person whose Mercury is aspected by Jupiter,Saturn ,Uranus and the Moon myself, in addition Mercury is the planet closest to the MC,I thought that,if  we are to examine the astrological markers for humour, we certainly need to look at the planet Mercury. The position and aspects of Mercury in the horoscope signify mentality ,speech patterns, communication style,  sense of humour etc. Humour, though, can be expressed differently, and not everybody may find the same things funny.

But what do we mean exactly by the term ”’humour”? Many writers have given definitions for it. For example, Alastair Clarke says that ”humour occurs when the brain recognises a pattern that surprises it, and that recognition is rewarded with the experience of the humorous response, an element of which is broadcast in laughter”.

Arthur Koestler’s basic idea is that the creative act is a “bisociation” (not mere association) which happens, if two (or more) apparently incompatible frames of thought (“matrices”) are brought together by an ingenious mind. In jokes and humour, these conceptual systems are reversed, in the arts and in ritual, they are juxtaposed, in science, they are fused into a new larger synthesis. This corresponds to a “self-assertive” tendency in humour and a “self-transcending” tendency in art, while in science both tendencies are balanced.

In the case of the Monty Pythons’ style humour, it is not at all ordinary and certainly not slapstick. It definitely has the element of surprise, of the unexpected.  We should expect to find a very strong Mercury and aspects to Jupiter in great humourists, as Jupiter gives the joie de vivre and the expanding of horizons needed for one to see the funny side of things.But, that is not enough for the Monty Pythons unique humour : I should expect the anarchic Uranus to be in aspect to Mercury. Uranus is the one giving  the flavour of the unexpected, the original, the unique, even wacky, if you will.

Let us look at the horoscopes of the members of the team, and see the positions and aspects of Mercury:

Starting with Eric Idle:

We see that Eric Idle has Mercury in Aries and has no aspect to Jupiter, but they are in Signs squaring each other. Mercury does have a sextile to Uranus, opposition to Neptune and trine to Pluto.

Michael Palin:

Michael has Mercury in the sign it rules- Gemini- in conjunction to both Uranus, and Saturn, alll in sextile to Pluto. In addition, it has an open square to Mars.

John Cleese:

John has Mercury in Scorpio in opposition to Uranus,sextile to Neptune and an open square to Mars, but no major aspect to Jupiter.

Graham Chapman:

Graham (deceased 1989)  had a conjunction of Mercury-Sun in trine to  the Moon and Uranus , and open trine to Jupiter and Saturn. In addition the ruler of his Ascendant ( Capricorn) was in conjunction to Jupiter.

Terry Gilliam:

Terry has Mercury in Scorpio in sextile to hisVirgo Ascendant and in opposition to Saturn and Jupiter, plus an open square to Pluto. Terry mainly concerned himself with the animations, and his acting roles were supporting ones.

Terry Jones:

Terry Jones has Mercury in Aquarius in square aspect to Uranus and Saturn, while Jupiter, although making no major aspect to Mercury, is in Gemini, trining his Sun and Venus.

Having looked at all their charts, we found that all but one – Terry Gilliam – of the Monty Python team members, , have aspects of Mercury to Uranus. This should come as no surprise, as Uranus is related to the original, the surprising, and the unexpected. Mercury in all members of the team is overall heavily aspected. Three have major aspects to Jupiter.Again,  it should not surprise us that in fve out of six members, Saturn is aspecting Mercury. Saturn is always necessary in order to provide the  discipline and hard work required  to put great original ideas into materialisation.

In addition to the Monty Python team, I examined the horoscopes of another six well-known humorist writers/comedians , namely:

( Note that their charts are not shown here, but can easily be found on the Internet )

Writer Douglas Adams ( Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) ,Actor Roberto Benini ( Il Mostro), Comedian Rowan Atkinson ( Mr. Bean and Blackadder), writer Tom Sharpe ( Indecent exposure), Benny Hill ( the Benny Hill show) and writer/director/actor Woody Allen.

I must stress at this point that the above examples examined, by no means constitute a valid statistical study, as a  greater number of  charts of humorists would be required, as well as an appropriate ”control group” .In addition, we have not taken into account in this study other aspects indicative of great humour and/or fame, e.g. MC aspects to Jupiter. Still, the results , I believe, are highly indicative of what we would expect to find in intellligent / witty people.

In all the horoscopes I examined above, I found a combination of planets aspecting Mercury: Jupiter, but also Saturn AND Uranus aspects Mercury. Jupiter shows expansion and optimism in intellectual pursuits, thus gives the proclivity for humour, Saturn gives the discipline, but it is Uranus that gives the urge to open things up, experiment with the new and original, and shows the need to be different from everyone / everything  else , therefore creating the basis for Great Humour- and , most certainly, in the case of Monty Pythons, we were in ” For something completely different” !

GALDERA OROKORRA: ZEIN DA ZUEN IRITZIZ GUSTOKOENA? ROWAN ALA MICHEL?

Mon humoriste favori est anglais, ingénieur en électricité diplômé d’Oxford.

Je vous l’accorde, présenté de la sorte, cela n’a rien d’hilarant.

Et pourtant…

Rowan Atkinson,  prince de l’humour noir et de la comédie burlesque est plus connu pour camper le personnage de Mister Bean, un vieux garçon maladroit pour qui la moindre aventure prend des proportions abracadabrantes.

Bientôt, je vous ferai connaître ou redécouvrir un de ses sketchs où son génie du comique gestuel transparait.         Génie… ingénieur… elle est facile, je vous le concède, mais on y revient tout de même!

W tym wpisie zamieszczam trzy skecze w wykonaniu Rowana Atkinsona – brytyjskiego komika, znanego głównie z odgrywania roli Jasia Fasoli. Z ciekawości poszperałem trochę w Internecie próbując znaleźć jakieś informacje na temat prywatnych poglądów Pana Fasoli w kwestii wiary. Nie udało mi się dotrzeć do żadnego pewnego źródła stwierdzającego jednoznacznie jak jest, niemniej opierając się na informacjach zaczerpniętych z angielskiej Wikipedii wnioskuję, że jest on człowiekiem dość pewnie stąpającym po ziemi

Rowan Atkinson in Hell

Gay Christian

Rowan Atkinson Amazing Jesus

It’s official; Balfours Beatty has acquired PB.  This will create a new giant in the industry and should cause growth for both companies. The merger and integration of two quality oriented firms can cause a terrific synergy. This seems to be a case where these firms are concerned. And, the new economy of scale should allow both to expand in a world where engineering and construction firms are considered too small to compete with ten or fifteen thousand employees.  Their service lines are compatible.

The bit of humor is that the secret talks were called Project Blackadder. Rowan Atkinson must be amused. New Civil Engineer had an interesting article on this. Here is the link: http://www.nce.co.uk/5208465.article

Hilarious sketch! It really emphasises the fact that the works of Shakespeare were not meant as literature or anything groundbreaking, rather the works were popular culture in Shakespearean times. Brilliant!

And of course, how could your resist Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Laurie together?

Enjoy! Cheers and God bless!

I’m seriously sorry, folks. But the state of pure mental and physical exhaustion I’m feeling this evening (thanks, anemia and Benadryl) is just not conducive to quality writing. So I thought I’d default to a fun video, as I tend to do when my thoughts have dried. Please enjoy!

Yes…those gentlemen are Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) and Hugh Laurie (House)!

For this week’s classic clips, we return to the brilliant 1970s/80s BBC sketch show Not The Nine O’Clock News.

Here are a couple of my (many) favourite sketches from the show.

First up, a vicar (Rowan Atkinson) is a little bemused by the increase in the size of his congregation when the BBC’s Songs Of Praise comes to film in his church:

In this one, a customer (Mel Smith) chooses the wrong hi-fi shop:

Arf, je sais je sais… Je suis en retard, très en retard dans les billets que j’avais prévu et je suis pas allée à l’Auberge depuis des jours ;o. Je me suis un peu reposée et j’ai regardé des séries (oui je sais, ça change ).

Bref, ce soir, je m’attèle au petit article concernant mes “achats de rentrée” (et plus si affinités).
Vous constaterez peut-être que sur la quantité, j’ai déjà lu deux des livres et que j’en lis un troisième, mais spa grave, vous verrez les autres.

Bleak House, Charles Dickens (ouais désolée, y’a le flash ;o) :
Achat typiquement copinesque, c’est-à-dire “pour faire comme” xD. J’étais plus motivée pour acheter le livre que le DVD de la mini-série, et il se trouve que c’est à cause de Doctor Who. En plus.

Kings and Queens of Britain :
Si on m’avait dit que les cours de civi britannique me manqueraient… Oh une minute. Oui, je l’aurais cru presque tout de suite. J’ai commencé à le lire juste avant de regarder les premiers épisodes de The Tudors , enfin ça se picore, ça de toute façon. C’est très intéressant. Moi qui ait plein de lacunes alors que je vénère (ou presque) le Royaume Uni et l’Irlande, ça en comblera au moins quelques-unes.

The Fish Can Sing, Halldór Laxness :
Si je vous dis ce qui a attiré mon attention sur cet auteur, vous allez hurler. En fait, il y a quelques mois, Robert Pattinson a été vu avec Independent People, de Laxness donc. Comme je suis curieuse, quand il est vu un livre à la main, je me renseigne un peu sur le livre. Et comme je suis curieuse, une fois sur Amazon, je navigue. Ce qui était dit sur The Fish Can Sing m’intriguait davantage que The Independent People, et puis j’ai fini par le commander. Je l’ai commencé mais j’avais pas trop envie de lire un truc anglais à ce moment, donc j’ai laissé tomber. En plus, les mots islandais, ça m’effraie un peu pour l’instant xD.

Escale au Pays du Nougat en Folie et Retour à la Case Égouttoir de l’Amour, Louise Rennison :
C’était biennnn !! Bon je rejoins pas mal d’avis que j’ai lu, y’a de plus en plus d’expressions à la Georgia et parfois on s’y perd. Plusieurs fois, j’ai dû m’y reprendre à 2 ou 3 fois pour comprendre parfaitement la phrase. C’est pour ça que je ne lis pas les livres en anglais .
Petites phrases en vrac : Le coup des chaussures est absolument hilarant et ridicule à la fois. Je le répète, Massimo, je l’aime pas trop. Il est trooop… italien ;o. Je n’ai rien contre les italiens, mais je ne peux pas swooner à mort sur un italien, c’est pas dans mes gènes.

Journal d’un Vampire, tomes 1 et 2, LJ Smith :
Je kiffe. Sincèrement. Sans en faire le bouquin du siècle etc, j’aime beaucoup. Même si je n’aime pas trop Elena, même si je ne suis pas une grande fan de Stefan (hoho, j’ai même pas fait cette rime volontairement), même si certains passages me font rire alors qu’ils ne devraient pas, j’aime beaucoup ce livre. Et Damon… Damon est une bonne raison de lire ce livre. Bref, y’a un cocktail qui fonctionne bien, et le tout arrive à inspirer le malaise que les vampires sont censés faire naître par exemple, ce que Stephenie Meyer qui on sait n’avait carrément pas réussi à faire. Et ouais, dans ce livre, il y a des morts et des blessés, trop gue-din quoi ;o.
J’en suis au début de la 2e partie/tome 2.

Doctor Who, The Official Annual 2009 :
Ahem. Alors euh, très sincèrement, je ne savais pas que c’était pour les enfants. Quand je m’en suis rendue compte en ouvrant le livre, j’étais déçue. Mais en fait, c’est pas mal (et puis pour le prix auquel je l’ai payé, c’est pas bien grave). Je dois dire aussi que les soirs où je n’avais pas l’ordi et que je ne pouvais pas regarder mon épisode de DW, ça m’a été bien utile. J’me suis pris une dose en lisant les petites histoires et les BDs (qui sont très inégales ;o)(y’en a une qui est presque naze).
Mis à part ça, vous pensez quoi du nouveau logo ? Au premier coup d’oeil j’étais horrifiée, mais au deuxième ça allait, je pense que je vais m’y faire. J’aime assez le principe de modernisation avec mine de rien un rapprochement par rapport aux vieux logos.

Bon et depuis le temps, j’ai craqué à nouveau ! Cette après-midi en fait. Je savais bien que je ne devais pas y aller, mais ça faisait longtemps…

Love Actually & Shakespeare in Love :
Deux films que j’ai déjà vus et aaaaadorés. Quand je suis entrée dans le magasin, je suis tombée nez à nez avec un coffret (je vous dirai pas le nom du coffret, c’est trop ridicule, en plus le dos est très très rose ;o hihi). J’ai eu beaucoup de mal à résister comme vous le voyez. J’y ai pensé après mais “oh, deux films avec Colin Firth, mince alors “.

Walk the Line :
Je vais enfin pouvoir le voir *bounce*.

Mais d’abord, je dois regarder un film que Vivi m’a prêté , à savoir…

Notez que TomStu est dans la case violette . Cela dit, Rhys m’a l’air prometteur…

Vais ptet me faire une soirée Bill Nighy moi… ♥

Purée, normalement je mets les principaux acteurs des films dont je parle en tags, mais avec Love Actually c’est long ;o.
