Pauline Acquart - Retenez Son Nom

[fish]

Well, this is a bit quick for an intermission, but.....
Why wasn't I told?



Don't know much about it.
A short film by Benjamin Papin made in the last few weeks by the sound of it.

Two pics from it.
This one which Bourka used as her profile pic is, I now believe, actually a still from the film.



And this one too.



A new entry into the "Films I really want to see" category.

Anyone know anything about it?

[DMt.]

I wish! Spent an hour or so today searching for it, to no avail.

Seems like the French short-film market is exclusively national, or something.

[fish]

I think it's scheduled for the "Short film festival" circuit, but where it will play is anyone's guess.
It's very recent, so maybe there'll be more news to come.


In the meantime, intermission is over.



Jeez, you think the guy could have sprung for front row seats. Mean to say.

[fish]

...Mean to say.

The advantage of giant pics is that there's usually nothing a good crop won't fix.

[DMt.]

Muso hands, if ever I saw them.

[fish]

She could do things with those hands 'd bring tears to your eyes.


Sorry Pauline.
It's a joke.
Didn't mean to upset you.
Honest.

[fish]

Can't think of anything to say, so .........

[Dahls]

No need to.
A picture speaks like several hundreds of sentences.
Or something.

[fish]

...Or something.

I was wondering what possible advantages there were in becoming an actor.



Oh.

[Ian]

As my brother and I always used to say in unison whenever any movie would get to - er - that part: "Tough job, acting."

[DMt.]

She must've jumped him... - or he let her, maybe...

[Dahls]

I was wondering what possible advantages there were in becoming an actor.


Oh.

The challenge from competing against thousands of colleges for the perfect part?

The travelling experience from all kinds of sets and locations?

The paycheck if you ever were to succeed?

Come on, tell us.
What is it?

[DMt.]

Could it be...the ineffable joy of being jumped on by Pauline Acquart, by any chance?

[fish]

That's what gets my vote.

Not so loving towards François though.

[fish]

She must've jumped him...

Or vice versa.



Tough job.
Fancy having to put up with that every night.
