great call on Casablanca bio...
can't say enough what a great movie that is..
just love it..
soooo many fantastic moments in that movie..Captain Louis Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
[A croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Captain Louis Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.Captain Louis Renault: What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick Blaine: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Captain Louis Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
Rick Blaine: I was misinformed.

haha. exactly. it is so goddamned funny. the humor is so quick witted that it takes a second or two to realise that something wasnt just a little funny, but frikkin hilARIOus.
the part where rick points the gun at renault's heart and renault says "fine, but you should know that that is my least vulnerable spot."
that was PERfect! i laughed my ass off. LITERALLY! my ass is completely gone thanks to that movie.

Seen it and been there.
My girlfriend and I went to Paris for a week vacation in February, we ate there twice and our hotel was just up the street about 4 storefronts.
It's a very nice area, Montmartre, people there will say they're from Montmartre before they'll say they're from Paris, a really old feel to it. It was my first time there, a bit cold but probably the best time I've ever had.

i've been there too! in the cheapest hotel EVER! gee, that was worse then you could imagine, it almost collapsed, but that IS the charm of Montmartre.. thay told me Jacques Brel lived there when he was a student or something.. i might have slept in his bed... really old !
oh, and there are *designers/illustrators* there making FAR more cash then you would want to know.. WHAT AN ARSES! I WAS SOO PISSED!
ok, it went like this:
I was strawling there looking around the place (at night) and all of a sudden two of these artists stopped me, and asked me if I wanted a portrait..and before I could say: 'I am sorry, I am a deaf Polish veteran looking for food..' (or something to that extend), this bloke started drawing.. they said it was like 20 francs (about 3 dollars), but I ended up paying over 60 francs!! I tried to leave, but they kept following me saying i had to pay and that i misunderstood them when they first mentioned the price..
Frigging French *artists*...
and they are all over the place!
watch out if you ever go there!
or make a face that is impossible to reproduce on paper!!!!

Yes, those people are up there on top of the hill day and night, till about 2am, your method of trying to walk around them is always obvious and they still seek you out. But some decent artists showing stuff off up there, we had a bit of snow and sleet while we were eating there.
We stayed at the Prima Lepic, a nice hotel that was part of our package.
I so incredibly miss waking up to the sounds on the street there, shopkeepers opening up, people walking, the language, it was wonderful.

cY I would have F'ed them up for you man. I've been to Paris and have been harassed there too. BS! Not to mention Lyon and Nice, got harassed there too by those bums.
- ********0
but still, yeah, Montmartre is the most *romantic* (grrr hate that word, but ok for now) place to hang around in Paris. Not to miss!
damn, i should go watch Amelie now,,,,
- ********0
hot chickie for sure!
- Bio0
new orleans can be bad in some spots too.
i just always walk around with a very mean look on my face like i am about to inflict some serious pain on the next person that talks to me.
i rarely get bothered.
but if they only knew that i am really just a CareBear® on the inside, i would be fucked.
heheh.

Hurrah! Someone bumped up my thread! I Started it ages ago...
And it's STILL a great film. Seen it a good few times now.
Since starting this thread I've also seen city of lost children (odd) and Delicatessen (great).
Amelie is still my all time favorite.
I'm in love with her, and those huge bambi eyes.
*sigh*

Amelie makes me want to go back to France and marry a crazy French woman with pale skin and short black hair

Ok, just seen it... ....*drool*..... what should I say?
I cannot hate on France;
as there are now OFFICIALLY 2 (yes, TWO) French productions in my ALL TIME FAVE TOP 3!
That is 'La Haine', and 'Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain'.. no doubt about this: i will watch this one again... and again, and again.
It's the details, the locations, the characters,..... the photography is the work of a genius, the acting is strong and convincing, the degree of 'ooooh-France-is-soooo-nice-and... is about 110% in this flick, the story is touching, yet funny, and keeps you on the edge of your couch....and the girl is suuhweeeeeeet!!*marvel, marvel, marvel*
A must see before you die!!
Life is too short to postpone it, watch it now!
or I'll have Bio eat your babies!
:O
