Can someone post a picture or address of a picture of JoJo without makeup.

I am just curios what she looks like without all the stuff she puts in her face every morning.

Two hectic French movies:

Baise-moi - <a href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0249380/' target='_blank'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0249380/</a>
Irréversible - <a href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290673/' target='_blank'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290673/</a>

French would be a lot easier to understand if it were in English.

Irreversible (elbisreverrI) is brutal ... absolutely brutal - haunting really. Amazing film.

Bah, fock that. All people respect one thing, money.

I'm going to Paris for Fall Break in a few weeks (and to catch a Dido concert!)... maybe amsterdam too over halloween weekend. Haven't decided if I should go to Amsterdam alone.

Going to amsterdam on your own seems like a bad idea - who is gonna look after you when you get high? :drool:

About the film, it takes place in 2013 in Paris' suburbs ("banlieu" in French). It's the story of a SWAT cop going undercover to deactivate a bomb stolen by gangsters.

Contrary to America's big cities, in Paris, ghettos and street gangs are most present in the suburbs.

And by the way, France does put out solid films just about every year. Wheter or not those films get fair coverage in America is a whole different thing.
for the record anything french sucks and so do you.

Most of the mediterranian coastline is in europe actually. (mainly due to greece's fucked up shape)

speakEz...you're the worst.

B-13 looks pretty decent. I was actually more pumped for it before I knew what it was actually about. Anything "in the future" just screams B movie to me.
Europa Corp are pure style

Any UK people catch Layer Cake?

Dobermann is a fantastic French movie.

I caught it in the theatres in Zurich (they'll let anyone into 18+ movies there no matter how young you look or are) I don't know how many years ago and had to seek out a PAL DVD since they never made a NTSC one.

That's Avril showing her boob in the thread jack by the way.
