The PEN story
Here is the PEN Story in stop motion, made with 60.000 pictures, 9.600 prints and over 1.800 pictures shot again. Most incredible is probably that there is no post production!

Oscars, Césars 2009
After the Oscars ceremony, here are the Césars in France, that should see the victory of Mesrine with Vincent Cassel, and remind us the death this year of several well known celebrities like Claude Berri and Guillaume Depardieu. Dany Boon (actor, director, co-producer of "Bienvenue chez les ch'tis") shouldn't be at the ceremony as his film was only nominated once this year.
As a reminder Dany Boon would have earned in 2009 at least 26 million Euros after the success of his film seen by more than 20 million people in french theaters. At a first sight, this astronomic number may be compared to american film stars, but that's not so simple as Dany Boon was not only an actor in this great comedy.

A peine la cérémonie des Oscars terminée, la France se met à l'heure des Césars, qui devrait voir cette année la victoire entre autres de la grosse production française de l'année "Mesrine" avec Vincent Cassel, et nous rappeler au passage la disparition de célébrités come Claude Berri et Guillaume Depardieu. Dany Boon (acteur, réalisateur et co-producteur de "Bienvenue chez les ch'tis") ne devrait pas être présent à la cérémonie après que son film n'ait été nominé qu'une seule fois cette année.
La nouvelle est tombée cette semaine, Dany Boon aurait gagné plus de 26 millions d'euros en 2009 après le succès fulgurant de son film, vu par plus de 20 millions de français dans les salles. A première vue, ce chiffre astronomique pourrait être comparé sans difficultés aux salaires des plus grandes stars américaines mais ce n'est évidemment pas aussi simple étant donné la triple casquette de Dany Boon dans cette magnifique comédie.

Sarah Palin hot pictures
If internet search traffic does mean anything, Sarah Palin (the republican vice-president candidate and governor of Alaska) has become the center of all interests in a few weeks only. Just like Barack Obama - who now would be a muslim - rumours & hoaxes are invading the internet about Sarah Palin's hot pictures, pictures that actually exist but of course that are just photos of some porn actresses that can be easily modified with a software like Adobe Photoshop. But even such rumours may change the cards, the run to the US white house may be not over yet.
----------
Si les statistiques des moteurs de recherche (Google, Yahoo, Live...) sur internet signifient toutefois quelquechose, Sarah Palin (la candidate à la vice-présidence américaine de John McCain) est bel et bien devenue le centre de tous les intérêts en quelques semaines seulement. Tout comme au sujet du candidat démocrate Barack Obama - dont une rumeur dit qu'il serait musulman - les hoaxes fusent et les photos osées de Sarah Palin, en bikini ou en actrice de X, envahissent le net. Des photos qui ne sont bien entendu que des montages réalisés avec un logiciel grand public comme Photoshop. Mais même les rumeurs les plus absurdes ont un impact et pourraient bien changer la donne en faveur de McCain. La course à la maison blanche n'est pas encore terminée.

----------
Une nouvelle nuit des Oscars s'achève à Los Angeles et c'est tout le cinéma français qui en ressort grandi après le grand chelem réalisé par Marion Cotillard en remportant après les Césars et les Golden Globes l'oscar de la meilleure actrice pour La Vie en Rose (La Môme). No Country For Old Men des frères Cohen est le grand vainqueur de la cérémonie avec 4 oscars.

The departed or Infernal affairs ?
Did you see the last motion picture from Martin Scorsese, "The departed" ? Well, not too bad, but if you saw "Infernal affairs", the original asian movie that I was lucky to see at the Deauville festival, the Scorsese's film looks a bit boring, we're far from Casino...
----------
Qui a vu le dernier film de Martin Scorsese, "Les infiltrés" ? Bien, pas trop mauvais évidemment, mais si vous avez vu "Infernal affairs", le film asiatique original avec les triades chinoises en toile de fond, que j'ai eu la chance de voir au festival de Deauville, le film de Scorsese paraît tout à coup plutôt ennuyeux, en tout cas bien loin de Casino...

Hollywood sue Chinese internet site
Jeboo.com and an Internet cafe in Shanghai have been sued by five Hollywood studios (Twentieth Century Fox, Walt Disney, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures and Universal Studios) for a $432,000 compensation. They would have offered Pirates of the Caribbean, X-Men 2, Night at the Museum and other well known recent movies to download for free. Good luck to them ! (Hollywood studios of course, they will need it :))
----------
Jeboo.com, un site internet chinois est poursuivi par 5 grands studios d'Hollywood (Twentieth Century Fox, Walt Disney, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures and Universal Studios) qui lui demandent 432.000 dollars de compensation. Le site aurait mis à disposition (en téléchargement gratuit) de ses internautes des blockbusters comme Pirates des Caraïbes, Une nuit au musée, X-Men 2 et d'autres films récents. Bonne chance à eux ! (aux studios bien sûr, ils en auront besoin :))
