dpowers	post #2  on January 12, 2003 - 9:45 AM PST   i loved frances in son of gascogne, and somehow in my orgy of movie viewing, i've never gotten around to any one of frances's movies. i don't know how that kind of thing happens, how i totally miss somebody. i'm glad that the unfaithful wife and the butcher are coming out on DVD.
NeilCresswell	post #3  on January 12, 2003 - 3:45 PM PST   Out of the last dozen or so French films you two guys have seen, are there any you'd particularly recommend? I have to admit that so far I've enjoyed your taste/recommendations so am willing to be led blind through the murkey depths. :> So far this month, I've seen mainly mainstream stuff: Amelie, The Closet and The Lady and the Duke. I'd particularly recommend The Closet/Le Placard to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. I'm sure everyone's sen Amelie already. I'm probably one of the last people here to see it.
Eoliano	post #4  on January 12, 2003 - 5:09 PM PST   Here is list to browse along with a few titles. It's an eclectic assortment, but it'll get you on your way. Cinéma Français The 400 Blows Any Number Can Win Belle De Jour Breathless Clean Slate Diva Grand Illusion Jean De Florette & Manon of the Spring ( rent these films together) Mr. Hulot's Holiday Purple Noon The Sorrow and the Pity (rent disc 1 & 2 at the same time ) The Wages of Fear Z Enjoy!
NeilCresswell	post #5  on January 12, 2003 - 8:07 PM PST   Merci mon Ami! I've gratefully queued all of your suggestions with the exceptions of Mr. Hulot's Holiday (not available) and Z (too awkward to search). An interesting list. I've seen only a few before such as Jean De Florette & Manon.
dpowers	post #6  on January 12, 2003 - 9:42 PM PST   neil: to rent Z, here's a different link to eoliano's cinéma français list. a ol ya no: did you keep that list of recent films i sent you a little while ago? i don't have a copy and if you do, could you post it, i would contribute that to this thread. if you don't i'll put it back together.
Eoliano	post #7  on January 13, 2003 - 7:09 AM PST   Er, I inserted the wrong link for the list, sorry Neil.
dpowers	post #8  on January 13, 2003 - 8:59 AM PST   i didn't even know there was a way to make a wrong link around here. what a disturbing development.
Eoliano	post #9  on January 13, 2003 - 11:18 AM PST   I inadvertently used the link to my edit list file, which you should not be able to access. If you did, then let me know and I'll report it.
Eoliano	post #10  on January 13, 2003 - 11:19 AM PST   This is the correct link: Cinéma Français list
NeilCresswell	post #11  on January 13, 2003 - 2:25 PM PST   FYI I saw the original link was wrong as it looked like it was going to direct to an edit page. However, no need to worry, the link redirected to the main page so I couldn't add any "fun" comments to your list. ;> Thanks for the corrected link. I'm constantly amazed at how many film you two manage to see from all around the world. Do you review movies professionally? By the way, my better half has been a professional English/Japanese translator for all of her working life. Any suggestions about how she can break into translating movies/what software is usually used for that? We both love movies and I'm figuring this'll be more fun work for her than translating medical instrumentation documentation, web pages and similarly dry material.
NeilCresswell	post #12  on January 13, 2003 - 2:25 PM PST   Oops, am off topic already. Should've posted the BTW in the asian thread. :p
Eoliano	post #13  on January 13, 2003 - 3:32 PM PST   Whew. I'm glad that you weren't able to go to my edit page. > I'm constantly amazed at how many film you two manage to see from all around the world. Do you review movies professionally? Not a professional, no. I just started early and have a head start. = ; < ) >
Eoliano	post #14  on January 13, 2003 - 3:33 PM PST   Forgot this: There's translation software out there, you just have to decide how much you want to spend. Systran is very popular and I used to have the basic, but you can ratchet up to professional levels. Go here.
dpowers	post #15  on January 13, 2003 - 4:38 PM PST   >> Do you review movies professionally? << > I just started early and have a head start. < in my ditch i live only well i see only jewels i smell only perfume i belch only symphonies that's just how i am nobody pays me nuthin fer nuthin amen
Eoliano	post #16  on January 13, 2003 - 5:03 PM PST   I just started early and have a head start - is in reference to: > I'm constantly amazed at how many film you two manage to see from all around the world. Now that that's out of the way... >> and Z (too awkward to search). I see what you mean, though I suppose you found it already.
dpowers	post #17  on January 13, 2003 - 5:25 PM PST   oh oops. quoted for the interplay. the two quotes and the poem were my answer. sorry, too liberal! i'm being ever so careful from here on out....
NeilCresswell	post #18  on January 13, 2003 - 5:43 PM PST   hehe, and there was me thinking that you must've just finished watching a very twisted movie in order to type that. :p
NeilCresswell	post #19  on January 13, 2003 - 5:44 PM PST   Yup, found Z thanks to your list. Ta very much for the software link.
NeilCresswell	post #20  on January 13, 2003 - 5:53 PM PST   > Systran is very popular I took a peek at Systran and it appears to be software to automatically translate from one language to another rather than a tool for adding DVD-ready subtitles. Wonder if you know anything that is used in the industry for adding subtitles on a seperate "track" to movies?
