I found this picture on my computer and I have absolutely no idea what it is, but I'm quite fond of it.

EDIT: I just figured out that it is hair and now it just creeps me out.

Une Femme est Une Femme

Une femme est Une Femme c'est un très bon film.

The ever inpsiring combination of Godard and Karina is in full force in this 1961 gem. A narrative of a young woman who works as a (for lack of a better word) stripper by day, and a woman who is deeply in love by night. La femme spends her days flirting with a local friend Alfred, or should I say she allows Alfred to flirt with her. She wants a baby with her other half yet he says that there is no rush. They push and pull eachother, testing, as the narrative informs, how far they can take eachother because they know that they are in love with eachother.

For me, what makes this a great film is the style and attitude used. I always love it when the cast interacts with the camera, giving us a wink or speaking directly to the viewer. Godard seems to do this quite a bit in his films and for me it never gets old. The dialogue between the characters is amazing and never tires. Whenever I see a film such as this, and by 'such as this' I mean French, it always makes me feel somber about how people act and react to situations nowadays. Why can't we not always answer a question right away, or evaluate situations by riding our bicycle in the house, or show our feelings through book titles, or ask random strangers on the street to have a child with our girlfriends?

If I had to use one word to describe this film, it would be cheaky. (And yes, even if my vocabulary was better, I would still use this word!) This film erouses countless emotions upon viewing and is nothing less than French.

Pet Peeve #1

.
Nail Polish!

Why is it that whenever I wear nail polish, the first thing that a person asks you after informing you of their admiration for your color choice is the name of the color?

My never failing answer to this question is always:

I DON'T KNOW.

(Mind you I never say it in all capital letters and a little eyelash batting never hurts, because apparently we are are accountable for knowing the name of our nail polish! )

There seems to be an unspoken assumption that if you own a nailpolish color, then you should automatically have it's name stored in your memory bank. Well ladies, I don't work that way!
I have a hard enough time trying to determine if I have fabricated the majority of my childhood memories let alone what the name of the green nailpolish I am wearing is.

IT'S CALLED GREEN.

We aren't assumed to memorize facts about other daily objects around us, so why should we know the name of nailpolish colors?

You don't go around asking for the names of other everyday items, such as:
-Wow, I love your dining room walls, what's the name of the color?
- That penny is really shiny, what year is it from?
- Your new hair color is great! is that chesnut brown, dark brown, auburn, medium brown, cocoa infusion, brown umber, walnut-red brown.....
(You get the idea)


P.S.- I have considered doing a series of my pet peeves, because yes, I am one of those people who will mentally punch you in the face if you are chewing too loudly, but this seems far too narcistic, bitchy and moany. It is also one of the greatest reasons to hate these here blogs because they just become places for people to pile their shit and bitch about stuff. I already have a dad for that. Although, I fear I am to selfish, bored, void of original thoughts to resist doing more pet peeves for too long, so expect more to come.

You Shur are Fine!

SPACE TAKER UPPER

NOTE: There are several more favorite directors to be had. I can't watch the absurd amount of movies that I do and not have more favorite directors, but this girl is far too lazy to actually properly do her favorite directors justice and put effort into posts. Now that would be crazy!

What if they had made an effort to make their films? Oh wait....
