    The soundtrack to Amelie just makes me think that I'm in a more delightful version of 12 Monkeys.

    12 Monkeys was a poor movie - and I say that even though one of my favorite actors is Brad Pitt. It's highly overrated.

    The guy who did the score for Amelie, Yann Tiersen, is on tour right now.

    I see pictures of him shredding on his website.

    I still do this occasionally with...

    I too have seen Wes Anderson's smash hit film The Darjeeling Limited, starring Adrian Brody, Owen Wilson, and Jason Schwartzman, with a guest cameo by Bill Murray.

    oh that is just wonderful

    you're adorable

    especially if you like brad pitt as an actor. it's one of the few films where he isn't just brad pitt

    My sister's apartment was in a fire. The case to 12 Monkeys was burned as hell. On the inside was the disc, in perfect working order. It was beautiful.

    The Royal Tenebaums is also scorched all around the edges.

    God, this film

    I was terrified of Audrey Tatou after watching it. And also a girl who goes to my school who looks like her.

    My favorite foreign film ever.

    I saw so many bad films with Audrey in them because of how much I love Amelie.


    So many.


    Also, 12 Monkeys is great. Terry Gilliam had a real rough time making that film.

    I love Paris.
    Except for the fact that it's easier to find a cellulite cream than a goddamn pack of Kleenex.
    Russian accents > French accents, in my book, but maybe that's because I know French and not Russian. I only know enough Russian to sing Moscow Nights and Katyusha.

    The sexiest accents are: 1 Irish; 2 Italian; 3 Scottish; 4 French; 5 Australian; 6 English; 7 Swedish; 8 Spanish; 9 Welsh; 10 American.

    Less sexy than Welsh. Wow.

    oh hey, i heard this song randomly on pandora and went through a phase where i listened to it nonstop for months

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04HbOQsDaaY

    even though i don't understand a lick of french, it sounds so dang happy.

    in a somewhat similar vein, the life aquatic studio sessions with seu george is the best thing

    I really did enjoy Amelie. I have wanted her haircut for a while, I've had similar cuts before.

    On accents; I thought I had a generic American accent, but apparently I possess a certain Southern Californian twang. It was only until I saw this video:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UgpfSp2t6k

    that I was able to detect it (that is, by comparison to all these other accents).

    And c'mon, American accents have to be hot somewhere!

    sorry a lot of the world kind of hates america, and the fact that so much american television and stuff gets played all over the world makes the accents not even seem exotic.

    Yeah but then there's the whole other 80% of the place that sounds the same. I mean, how often do you hear like "Wow, you have a really strong San Franciscan accent" or "I can barely understand you with that Boise accent".

    I'm not saying there aren't accents, but in general it's just "American"

    I'm from Southern California and was under the impression we didn't have much of an accent, beyond possibly the valley girl stereotype. Her Southern California/LA accent, however, is spot on to what people sound like here. My mind is blown.

    I wish I knew linguistics better so I could hear and describe what's different about ours.

    I have a pretty good French accent (apparently I sound like I'm from Toulouse?) but I drop it whenever I need to take a French test because it's just not nearly as important as good grammar
