Many years ago, landing for the first time in Tokyo, i finally understood the Gozzila movies. As a child of the sixties, ultra-man was part of my daily TV intake, granted you could see the zippers of the monster's costumes, but it was the city that always turned me off, it just didn't look real, until I landed in Tokyo. Tokyo looked like a city in the Gozzila flicks.
The same goes for French movies, they have a certain look that is all theirs, one reason is French cars; Renault, Citroen, and Pegeot. After about a week in the French outback i realised why French movie have that particular look, virtually all cars here are built by French companies, a few German cars, but virtually no Japanes cars! I don't know why, there is no doubt that the French are chovinistic, still. Another thing that suprised me is the number of "France blanche" signposts (white france), I'm in an extremely rural part of France, the population here is 99% white, still, they resent the foreigners
That's my big insight, i've been readimg the press, Canadian or otherwise, and aside from Newscorp's recent problems-- i thought that Lord Black had an excellent description of Murdoch, the world is quiet, aside from Greece, and Italy, and of America's continued desire to prouve that their political class is full of imbiciles.
Markets are off this Monday morning, but i dont really care! I've refrigerated a few bottles of Rosee wine for lunch, melon and ham, raw milk cheese and a number of salades are on the menu, a hard life I lead
