Cold Mountain (7.5)
Movie On Ze Beach In Cannes
You can see the complimentary wool covers to keep warm, the beach chairs to be all comfy and the structure where the screen will be raised a few minutes later.
Ok, the movie was Dawn of the Dead but still, pretty darn cool if I do say so myself. Here’s a shot from the boardwalk and oh, before I forget, one of Pedro Almodovar while he was walking on the red carpet in front of us earlier that day.
[Update] I didn’t realize this, Dawn of the Dead was an official Cannes film, hors compétition!
Back, Kinda
I said I would’nt blog until June but, well, I feel like it so a few numbers, while I have them in mind.
- Pictures taken: 894 (that’s not counting the ones deleted on the fly but including the ones I will delete as soon as I see them on a bigger screen).
- Unread news in the RSS reader: 1476
- Cafes offering free wireless in Paris: Too many to count, I shit you not. And they say France is behind internet wise!
- Most expensive Coke can price I saw: 3.90 € and that’s not in a bar either. And don’t forget the 8.50 € pints of beer. Then again, pretty good bottle of white wine for 5.5 €...
- Hot women: lots and lots but we still have more ;). But daaamn do they dress sharp in Paris!
- Number of japanese tourists seen taking a picture of themselves with some work of art or another: Not sure I can count that high.
- Number of pairs of Puma “sneakers” seen: What’s the population of France again?
- Times I whipped my head around and thought “man this city is gorgeous!” : At least twice an hour and I’m including sleeping hours in that average.
- Times I thought “If only there were fewer tourists” : About the same as above.
- Spending 18 days in France: Priceless. Well, not really but I’m not sure I want to know how much it cost me. Anyone have a contract for me?
