Vous avez vu French Connection @kawoua et @cathy ? Le premier plan, c’est la petite calanque de Marseille où j’ai déjeuné une fois, et dont j’ai parlé il y a un bout de temps (pas celle de La Ciotat, bien sûr). Après, un plan sur le Vieux-Port (classique), et puis on marche dans le Panier (classique aussi, c’est que des clichés, c’est drôle !) et paf ! Il y en a un qui se fait dézinguer par un autre (c’est juste pour dire qu’on ne rigole pas avec les personnages du film, Frog #1 et Frog #2 😊)

Ben je crois que je ne l’avais jamais vu, en tout cas pas en salle dans ces super conditions.

#TheFrenchConnection #cinéma

Épatant, French Connection en salle ! Pas dormi une minute (malgré mes trois heures de sommeil, la nuit dernière).

Et tu sais quoi ? je crois que je ne l’avais jamais vu ! Des bouts à la télé, sûrement ; la poursuite bagnole / métro sur YouTube. Mais je ne me souviens pas du film entier.

L’interprétation de Gene Hackman, halluciné de bout en bout, Chief Brody, Fernando Rey, Marcel Bozzuffi \o/

Les cadres à l’épaule merveilleux, la nervosité du montage, la musique.

Du plaisir pur.

Mistodon: here's a quick @horsenburger #teletext tribute to the late #GeneHackman (as Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle in 1971's #TheFrenchConnection) on the occasion of the sudden and unexpected death of everyone in his household announced today.

It's fascinating that Hackman was once told he'd never succeed in acting, yet he defied the odds and became a cinematic icon. His journey reminds us that perseverance can lead to extraordinary achievements.

Anyone else experiencing weirdness with their #microphone and #Windows11 after doing the 24h2 #WindowsUpdate?

Seems like something is messed up. I use a Blue Yeti for meetings occasionally but otherwise it's muted and I've just got headphones plugged into it as it sits on my desk. (Easy to reach, easy to swap 'phones, turn the vol up or down if needed.)

Since the update the physical mute switch, unmutes itself after a few minutes. Which seems like a friggen #privacy concern, to say the least. Especially for a #PC I use for work at my home. That's two kinds of privacy. A two!

There's a thing here to yell about it on the #Microsoft problems board or whatever:

If there's anywhere else we can yell at them about lemme know.

After I saw Z, I realized how I could shoot The French Connection. Because he shot Z like a documentary. It was a fiction film but it was made like it was actually happening. Like the camera didn't know what was gonna happen next. And that is an induced technique. It looks like he happened upon the scene and captured what was going on as you do in a documentary.
