I have the "18 € for all the movies you want" card too and I go to the cinema a LOT! And I see every single movie in its original language. My favorite theater is Bercy, but I go to "Les Halles" as well. The "V.O." thing is mandatory for me. I cannot go to the movies and see them dubbed. And it bugs me on tv. I hope that it will change soon. A few channels have started to put their programs with subtitles, which is great. Now, I wait for everyone to do it.<BR/>FYI Bercy and Les Halles are 2 (maybe even THE 2) biggest movie theaters in Paris, they attract a LOT of people and ALL their movies are in the original version.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-54460594766866427872007-04-03T05:45:00.000+02:002007-04-03T05:45:00.000+02:00Wow.

Wish we had a scheme like that here in the UK. It costs two of us £12 to attend, including a coke.<BR/><BR/>Monica; went last night to see "300".

And I agree wholeheartedly with you that interesting topics about opinions should be able to be discussed.<BR/><BR/>If you guys will notice, take a moment to reread Clo's remarks and my initial response and you'll see that Clo is the one who was out of line in his first comments to me. There is no need for personal insults. He even admitted to "lecturing" me. He was condescending when he said that " your constant attempts at defending what many know as lacking in this country (the U.S.)" (WTF! You're an idiot if you say that, you don't know what you're talking about) and said that "it's good to see its faults" (as if I do not), and was really petty by bringing up a comment I said that has nothing to do with anything...as if I should be ashamed that I love American men. <BR/><BR/>If you notice, my initial response was still civil. <BR/><BR/>I didn't get annoyed until after I was insulted even more. And Michael you were out of line...you know it and I know it.<BR/><BR/>So, if you cannot have civil debates without getting insulting and trying to humiliate a person then don't comment. <BR/><BR/>So yes Clo...get laid or something instead of making embarrassing sexual remarks about someone else on here...a total stranger. I'm embarrassed for you. <BR/><BR/>We could have had a nice discussion...and probably agree on a lot...which is the most ironic thing. But instead, you were condescending and make assumptions about a person you don't know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1655602719716316662007-04-01T07:50:00.000+02:002007-04-01T07:50:00.000+02:00Eric, our movie theaters all seem to be pretty ind...Eric, our movie theaters all seem to be pretty industrialized. Same format - small screens - tons of snacks and things to pay extra for. I like these big theaters where you feel like you are going out to a show.<BR/><BR/>Reading above it seems that I sure did miss something didn't I? What does gay or straight have to do with anything Susan? Why even bring that into the discussion? I think Michael was trying to recognize your patriotism and you then turn that into a "military nazi" statement. Please take a deep breath and relax. Nobody is out to get you or anybody else here.

Knowledge about cultures was primary. Casa Blanca (White House) Afghanistan a country we have flattened,<BR/>are related to your argument about knowledge of cultures. I simply tried to link things. I simply tried show that when we eleect people that do not know geography, a word that you missed to mention, and do not know or understand other cultures, then it should not come as a surprise that we are viewed as ignorant. If it angered you that is fine and well.<BR/><BR/>Finally, no need for you to put words in people's mouth. All Michale did was mention patriotism (love for one's country, which, not that nuch unlike nationalism (loyalty and devotion to one's nation). Your use of nazi was quite misplaced regarding Michael. Lastly, Internationalism as in your claim "I am the INTERNATIONAL one..." is quite simplistic when used in the context of watching movies. <BR/><BR/>I would like to apologize to Eric for this argument on his blog, promise not to reply after this, to Michael for having been dragged into this argument, and promise that next time I will concentarte on Eric's pictures and not what you necessarily have to say.

I can relate so much! I made some huge mistakes then that left me with constant blisters. I wore open toe shoes and I chose the worst possible ones to bring. The next time, I wore <A HREF="http://flickr.com/photos/myphotosarehere/441199489/" REL="nofollow">these shoes</A> and what a difference! No blisters, no sore feet! Notice that although the heel make appear skinny from a side view, it is also very wide (I tried to show both from this angle) which gave lots of support. I really didn't have one minutes problem. If you have any like that, you might want to bring them just to try. Otherwise, wear what you want to wear. Tennis shoes will announce you're a tourist, but there are worse things to be ;-)....like a sit on your sofa, non-tourist! Right?

It is not just an afterthought as you imply...a choice...it is REQUIREMENT by the french government. Even the French dubbers themselves are complaining that they are receiving pressure to change the interpretations...to sanitize the actual content. <BR/><BR/>It's my opinion, nothing more....no need to call me names (indirectly)! <BR/><BR/>As for the rest of your comments...what are you talking about?!? Casa Blanca, Afghanistan??? HUH??? Firstly, what has that got to do with "the price of eggs" (I wonder how that colloquialism<BR/>would be translated in the dubbing process Or subtitles for that matter?)?
