We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You sadist. Why don't you just send her Mouchette and Au hasard Balthazar while you're at it.

At least Ponette is good.

I hate Bresson with the heat of thousand suns, or, rather, la chaleur de mille soleils.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I feel the opposite! But A Man Escaped is my favorite Bresson, so I don't know what that says, except that we're talking French cinema in the Literary thread.

Will it help if I say I do like his literary adaptations, Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne and Journal d'un curé de campagne?

Punishingly Intricate

French cinema was one of my favorite classes as an undergrad. Alas, I speak no French (except menu).

except menu

Ah, but do you know what menu actually means?

Regardless, I'm sure you know tons of other things.

En garde! Fromage! Cherchez la femme!

um..I mean I usually know what food I'm ordering off of a French menu! (even if I can't pronounce it properly)

What does 'menu' actually mean???

En garde! Fromage! Cherchez la femme!

And these things, of course!
