Triplets of Belleville
🎬 watched Les Triplettes de Belleville (2003)
Released in USA as Triplets of Belleville, and I’m amused to see in UK and Ireland as a third title Belleville Rendez-vous.
As two film enthusiasts living in Los Angeles, my partner and I do not watch many together at home. We make dates to visit theaters, and share scenes while in motion during monday night fort90 film clubs. Sitting down to enjoy our a modest projected setup and sorting out the audio was a special event and a treat to enjoy in itself.
First impressions were such fun on a striking and enchanting ride into a surreal and groovy opening scene. The visual and sound design continued to surprise and delight up to the final car chase scene, where the story lost me in an aversion to excessive gunfire and pointlessly violent car chase. The experience overall far surpassed expectations and is one of the most unique animations I’ve enjoyed in a long time!
It has now been a few weeks since watching and the visual experience stuck with me, especially the repeat views from in front of the lead son rocking back and forth on his bicycle. While searching today for loops of these views, I was also reminded how catchy and happy the overall musical themes are from the triplet stars themselves.
The elder triplets finding and adopting the mother and dog through shared music and frog soup are such a sweet story of tenderness and discovered love between strangers. I found this obscured on first watch between the darkness of the mafia kidnappings and humans as horses on bikes.
This is definitely worth re-watching as there is so much detail in the animation style and scenes I know I missed. I expect to further enjoy the elder triplets story, and the irony of their household instruments. At 1 hour 22 minutes, it’s a quick and other-worldy trip into animation land I’m so happy to look forward to again.
Highly recommended for fans Cowboy
Beebop, Tour de France and cycling culture, cityscapes, Miyazaki / Studio Ghibli, and jazzy grooves.I watched and wrote about this as encouraged by the IndieWeb Movie Club for July, and a personal endeavor to post. Thanks to Mark Sutherland for this month’s suggestion!

If all of the views from today’s 50-miler looked like this I’d never get off my bike.
-
This evening’s 35-miler took a bit longer than expected because I had to break out ol’ Sometimes Helpful Hand Pump. It did it’s job, after some coaxing …
To be fair, my pump is about 15 years old and has been dropped, at speed, several times.
Relatedly, if you have a recommendation for a hand pump that will 1.) fit in a jersey pocket and 2.) fill a tube with air, and not me with roadside regret … I am in the market.

Bike racing is beautiful.
“Lifeplus-Wahoo riders woke up Friday to find 14 of their bikes stolen overnight ahead of the second stage of the Tour of Britain Women, but rival teams came to their aid so they could continue racing.”

Erudite wheelmen would speak of the hum of their wheels, the grip of bar tape, bidons.
Poets would write of the power and purpose of getting back into the drops. Really, it's heart and joyful freedom.
Freedom to ride hard, to soft pedal, to weave over the road like a kid. Freedom to try on that hill, or to not. And the thrill of coming down the other side, no matter the effort on the way up.
Already, it feels like a great year of riding.

Enjoyed a low-speed bike crash (NOT pictured) this evening. An entire neighborhood seemed to come to my immediate aid, which was charming.
Road rash on the outside of my lower right leg. Stupidly, I put my hand down so I have some bruising in my palm (gloves did their job) and what feels like a low grade wrist sprain. Somehow, I cut the tip of my left index finger.
As ever, those showers are fun.

Riding bikes with @LaurenSmith and I didn’t get dropped!
-
I had two new tubes, two new tires and my regular ol’ legs for today’s lunch ride with @LaurenSmith.
-
Talked about bike rides in two classes today. Two new tires going on my bike tonight. Riding bikes with @LaurenSmith tomorrow.
-
Accidentally under-hydrated the second half of today’s little 38-mile ride. Consequently, these fresh-from-our-garden tomatoes are the tastiest things ever invented.

Had a nice, challenging little bike ride this morning. I set four #Strava PRs, and it felt like it, trying to chase @LaurenSmith. (She set five Strava PRs.
And then she went for a run afterward.
-
A few of the shots from this morning’s ride with @LaurenSmith. Beautiful roads, nice views, hot sun, lots of fun.
-
Almost hit by three trucks and two cars on today’s bike ride. (Not including the car that almost created a head-on collision by choosing to pass uphill on a double yellow.)
#Bloomington says the League of American Bicyclists puts them in the gold tier of “Bicycle Friendly Communities,” but every time out I wonder about the methodology of that distinction. It must not have ANYTHING to do with the drivers.
Pictured: @LaurenSmith, who is very fast.
-
Got dropped by @LaurenSmith and spent eight miles trying to catch her wheel again.
-
Another bike ride, another narrowly avoided incident with a #Bloomington driver.
This guy came to a complete stop — as if to yield to us, his oncoming traffic — before deciding to accelerate again to turn left, as we were occupying the same space at 22 mph.

Thirty miles on Zwift, six Strava segment PRs, one silly sprint and a couple of nice punchy hills where the legs felt — what’s the word? — strong.

Last ride of #2022, and the first ride of #2023. Got in a few lovely miles with @LaurenSmith; set a new miles-per-year PR.
Pretty great stuff.
To the miles ahead!

Sixty miles on the pentultimate ride of the year. I hope my #Zwift avatar’s legs have something left in them for tomorrow, because there’s a big ride still to come.
