Yes, I also remember going to the movies when I was growing up in France and I get nostalgic. I remember taking my mom (who was a seamstress) to see a movie of Brigitte Bardot so she could copy her coat – she did and all my friends envied me. Maybe we should go to the movies tomorrow – we have been traveling so being cool in a movie theatre would be nice (it is supposed to be 90 F (32 C) in the shade here tomorrow.)Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006333401398843901.post-69802875857098445282012-05-26T22:42:36.199-07:002012-05-26T22:42:36.199-07:00Hello, French Girl in Seattle.

Obelix reminds me of my youth in Toulouse. The last time my mom came to visit me in america, we went to see 'Happy Feet'. She looked so happy eating her popcorn and even sneaked in a slice of cheese cake. But the kicker was after the show - I noticed she bought some white tennis shoes. I told her, it's time for her to go back to france.=)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851630568558694769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006333401398843901.post-76750463476449712352012-05-26T07:13:00.123-07:002012-05-26T07:13:00.123-07:00MA BELLE!!!!!!!

I grew up mostly in the US, but spent 2 months of almost every childhood year visiting my grandparents in Brittany. <br /><br />As a kid, I remember watching movies on TV with my papy. Always silly, always slapstick, they were utterly forgettable movies that I adored watching because they made my grandfather guffaw. <br /><br />In fact, it wasn't until much later that I realized that French Cinema didn't actually refer to the brand of farce I'd grown up watching with my papy. :)Gwennhttp://www.gwennseemel.com/index.php/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006333401398843901.post-78417456487704718392012-05-25T18:44:17.644-07:002012-05-25T18:44:17.644-07:00I couldn't agree with you more, the old theate...I couldn't agree with you more, the old theaters had som much more charm.<br /><br />There's a Louis Malle film, "Zazie dans le métro", and when I was a little girl living in Beaulieu-sur-Mer (my dad was in the Navy) I had the exact same haircut Zazie is wearing.

Lol.<br /><br />I agree with you, going to the movies has definitely lost its glamour. I live in the headquarters of AMC so we're always experimented on when it comes to our theaters. We have theaters that are also restaurants. We have theaters that are also bars. We have luxury theaters (that cost $30 per person, not joking) where its leather plush recliners and butler service. Too many IMAX theaters. Popcorn bars with 25 different dressing options (cheese, ranch, caramel, etc). I could go on. It's out of control.<br /><br />That's why I prefer to stay home and netflix. I can't afford to get swept up in it all.

Like all above I have memories of the Bambi 'tragedy' and also I distinctly remember my sister and I weeping copiously through 'Lassie go Home', really when you think of it some of those old family movies could be quite traumatic oui! Such a shame they couldn't save Le Trianon, I'm grateful every time I go that the Paradiso, Luna and Astra theatres have survived, so much nicer than the big complexes AND it would seem that viewers of foreign movies are more likely to be content with a coffee to drink in the movie rather than crunchy crisps or the vile smelling popcorn haha! Looking forward to reading many more posts, till then, take care.PerthDailyPhotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077053209100022305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006333401398843901.post-64151958054832378392012-05-23T10:41:48.787-07:002012-05-23T10:41:48.787-07:00Wonderful post and felt like a blast from the past...Wonderful post and felt like a blast from the past for me.

Going to the movie theatre every weekend was routine. Funny how I still have vivid memories of some of those movies.
