butter

i stayed up to watch la derniere tango a paris (the last tango in paris) last night. i was surprised to hear marlon brando speaking french, but jesus christ, it's beyond words seeing the late mr. brando acting out getting fingered up the cul. besides his character's assumed fetish with butt holes, the wardrobe was great, and the leading actress played my idea of the model parisienne: equally cute, sexy, trendy, confident and vulnerable. altogether, i enjoyed the movie: artsy, with a narrative that's entertaining to follow.

i also watched miss france 2005. there was a miss tahiti. huh. i'm not sure how that works out since tahiti is no longer a french colony. interesting too that the program revolved around american music and ideas. come to think of it, a lot of french tv tries to be american. and when i say american, i mean that on one french show that had a top ten countdown of the sexiest women in the world, britney spears was #1. oh, really?

another thing that was the hype of tv this weekend was the france telethon. it raised 98,373,842 € towards health care, medical research and such. 98 million+ euros? needless to say, that is fucking impressive.
