Paris '36

The French-language trailer for Christophe Barratier's Paris 36 (known in France as Faubourg 36) tells you it's an "audience film" -- broad, good natured, a little bit square and perhaps Amelie-like. Which is totally fine. Variety reported yesterday that Sony Pictures Classics has acquired distrib rights to the film in the U.S., Scandanavia and "Australasia," which is located to the northeast of Freedonia, the country featured in the Marx Bros. film Duck Soup. Barratier's film opens in France on 9.24.

That's actually very funny.

Heh. Australasia is actually the term for Australia, New Zealand, PNG and a bunch of the Pacific islands. It doesn't really get used that much down here at all, but it's an easy term to use to cover the region.

OK, back in my shell.

I don't get a lot of Amelie off that trailer. Mrs Henderson Presents, yes, but no Jeunet vibe to speak of.

I feel like it'd be cooler to not explain Freedonia. We need to feel good about our little club.

Looks interesting and makes me wish I had used my two years of college French. I actually used a lightboard like the one in the still. It was a theatre in a converted barn; an all wood firetrap, the light booth was a miniscule platform above stage right. Got a great spark everytime you turned a light on. Scary fun.

The nike air force ones would even have numerous refreshed editions which achieves almost a total of 800 million dollars annually as a revenue account. Our team here in BAK even mentioned once in our postings that Nelly even added something exciting to it by coming up with a song called the Air Force Ones as an expression of his love for the iconic product. Nelly, as a leading hip hop sensation made an amazing influence to the overall popularity standing of the Nike shoe model.

Replica Watches are almost always produced from cheaper materials than the original but sport insignias and marks quite similar to the Replica Rolex Watches.
