Closed since March 15, the cinemas will reopen in France on June 22. That feels so weird !!
Universal France has announced that The King of Staten Island and Irresistible, notably, would be released in theaters in early July in France.

I am really glad you took part in this, Nick. If nothing, it brought you back into our crazy circle for a few months. Maybe you can drop buy more than once a decade, huh?

Wait, Nick hadn't been around here for a decade ? Seriously ?

Well, Chien, let me dive in and be the first to judge... I mean compliment... your list. It's funny, you're one of two people whose music list I expected to automatically love because of a similar film taste. I've learned along the way that you can have similar film tastes with someone, and not mus...

NSpan , first a word on your number 1 song. Well, I had never heard of Pillowfight. I mean, before this countdown, obviously, because now I'll never forget that band's name :lol: And I actually think this may indeed be the best I've heard from them, at least it's one that seems more distinctive to ...

#2 Geezer, Against Me!, Black Me Out It's definitely a Geezer song, rather pleasant, good vibes, guitar and drums. Nothing spectacular for me, nothing I'll remember, but I can believe it's good live. John, Jason Isbell, Speed Trap Town I like the voice, I like the guitar, and I like what you're sayi...

#3 Geezer, The Gaslight Anthem, The '59 Sound Pleasant, but nothing surprising. John, Sparks, Suburban Homeboy Pretty fun and original indeed. Leestu, Green Day, Jesus Of Suburbia Still not really fan of Green Day type of rock. NSpan, Got a Girl, Did We Live Too Fast I like the voice of Winstead. An...

#4 Geezer, Off With Their Heads, Clear The Air I like the flow of this. A bit too heavy on the voice sometimes, but I like it. John, The Decemberists - The Mariner's Revenge Song Ooooh, some accordion to open it. As a French accordion is part of my DNA so it starts well. I like the rhythm of it, I d...

Okay, so it's time to launch the waltz of the number 1 songs. So here comes mine for this first day. 1.“Hurt” - Johnny Cash (2002) A few words, first, again, to thank the grand master Shryke, for putting together this countdown. We wouldn’t have done it without him, he did his job as always, to the ...

Yeah, thanks Shryke for all this. It' been fun, and it's been a great opportunity to discover some great music all around.

#5 Geezer, Against Me!, Pints of Guiness Make You Strong There's a bit of an ear agression at the very beginning of the song that had me scared, but the feeling soon fades away. Although once the voice i heard, it's not something I like. John, Shearwater, Castaways The picture appearing on the youtu...

#6 Geezer, Green Day, Waiting Never really been a fan of Green Day. I didn't know that song, but it sounds like Green Day, nothing bad, but nothing I'd really want to listen again. John, Patty Griffin, Long Ride Home I wish Cameron Crowe at stopped at one point to put music in his films. He seems mo...

One of the greatest French actors passed away recently, Michel Piccoli, aged 94. He broke out in Jean-Luc Godard's Le Mépris in the early 60's, and soon became the favorite actor of some of the best European filmmakers, Bunuel, Ferreri, Sautet... Ironically, Sautet's regular screenwriter and dialogi...

This can't be the first Amy song to appear, is it?

Surprisingly, I think it is...

#7 Geezer, Lucero, Nights Like These That sounds very American, but in a pretty good way.He pushes a little too much on the voice, but it's very pleasant overall. John, My Morning Jacket, The Way That He Sings What does that remind me of, in the chorus ? I can't remember. Not really something I'll g...

Chien - I only know of Woodkid from that song, it's on my all-time playlist. It was on a random playlist posted on Reddit years ago and I've been listening ever since. I had no idea he was French though. Edit: actually I should've been tipped off he was French because I found him in this sub - http...
