I read his Wiki. I couldnt see anything about Hardy. He looks a character, involved with a few famous French Ladies. Died 20 years ago@wanderlust wrote:

As a film director and rich hedonistic playboy he basically met pretty girls and promised them a career in the movies but unlike Weinstein he was totally up front about it and was good-loking, sporty and allegedly a good lover. He reportedly shagged them all but some he turned into stars. Brigitte Bardot was 15 (and brunette) when he met her and then married her. Catherine Deneuve he discovered at 17 and then shacked up with her- ditto Jane Fonda who he turned into Barbarella - and also married.@sunlight wrote:

There were many many others including Hardy who didn't hit those dizzy heights but there was a common theme - he tried to "model" aka style all his women to look exactly the same. Weird.
Look at Catherine Deneuve in "Belle de Jour", Bardot in "And God created Woman" and Fonda in "Barbarella" - and perhaps also Hardy in the video above? - and it's hard to tell the difference in image.

You know your stuff. I have seen Barbarella but not the others. I will look out for them. Those old fims are wonderful.

I'm well into older cinema but have a penchant for the...off-beat?....including the early surrealist classics, Bunuel, Faraldo,Tarkovsky and then more mainstream Fellini, Kurosawa and soppy stuff with Marcello Mastroianni in it. And Tati. And loads later - I guess I just like (some) films.@sunlight wrote: Those old fims are wonderful.

He should have left that biscuit if he didnt want it. Someone else could have had it. I didnt need the English subtitles in that, I could tell exactly what they were saying.
Tintin speaks French Savez-Vous? Although he is Belgian. It is pronounced Tantan. Tintin cartoons are great.

I havent heard of those people. Though I do watch films without looking at who Directed them and such. The off-beat ones are good. They are more Artistic.

Love Tati. Probably more revered here than in his homeland.

This should really be on the film thread but...@sunlight wrote:I havent heard of those people. Though I do watch films without looking at who Directed them and such. The off-beat ones are good. They are more Artistic.
Having got some idea of the type of stuff you like, I'm pretty confident there are some of these that would be right up your street. Excluding the gory stuff e.g. the eyeball razor slicing Un Chien Andalou which Bunel made with Salvador Dali, I'll put some recommendations for you on the film thread.

We need to talk about Randy.
Mate played his "Sail Away " album to me in 72 so I bought it for "You can leave your hat on " - (much) later covered by Tom Jones
I bought the concept album "Good Old Boys" from which the song below is taken (see warning*) in '74 and was surprised to learn that Randy Newman had already written hits "pop" for Cilla, Gene Pitney amongst many others and I recognised Simon Smith & Bear immediately. Never dreamed he'd go on to have loads of hits, some controversial, write over 20 very famous film scores, win Grammy's galore and his first album alone was covered by Barbra Streisand , Helen Reddy , Bette Midler , Alan Price , Van Dyke Parks , Dave Van Ronk , Judy Collins , Cass Elliot , Art Garfunkel , the Everly Brothers , Claudine Longet , Dusty Springfield , Tom Odell , Nina Simone , Lynn Anderson , Wilson Pickett , Pat Boone and Peggy Lee ,
Check out his amazing bio here
I'd recommend the album, but....
..this song is "challenging" as it's a concept album written from the perspective of a dumbass redneck.
(he didn't write for Buzz Lightyear all his life)
With this song Newman managed to piss off liberals who were too dumb to understand that this is art in 1974 set in the 3rd person and he pissed off the rednecks who were smart enough to realise what Newman was actually saying about them.
So here's the warning* - the redneck character use the n-word frequently. If you can cope with that have a listen as the lyrics are poignant and there's a twist. If you can't cope with that try the lovely "Mr President (have pity on the working man)" or any of the other well-written songs on the album
