he's like a bar of expensive soap...

God, I hate being sick. It's awfully annoying when you can't so much as turn on your side in bed without having a coughing fit :-(

In more uplifting news, the price cuts on DVDs are getting ridiculous. I have become the proud owner of the complete "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series for under 50 quid and the complete "Fast Show" collection for 13 quid. If no one stops me I'll probably end up buying "The State of Play", too.

And since I'm on the subject of my rapidly decreasing account balance, I booked my Eurostar tickets to Paris! They'd better not dare change the premiere date now, because what the hell will I do all day with no "B13 Ultimatum" to watch multiple times? Go to Evry and wander around until I find the manpower gap, stare up at it and go: "Fuuuuuck"? And then make my way across the motorway and wander around Lisses until I find Dam du Lac, stare up at it and go: "Fuuuuuck"? That'd be just too sad...

Not to mention that I really really want to see B13 Ultimatum, the sooner the better. They've posted the most beautiful picture on the filming blog today, of Damien and Leito perched together on a roof watching the Parisian skyline. The prominently visible Eiffel Tower is just the perfect touch -



I can almost hear Leito saying: "Damien, enough with the binoculars. I don't bring just anyone up here, you know..."

— David: "David Belle, on Banlieue 13 Ultimatum"
— Clapman: "[...], fourth. Action!"
(gunshots, they run and hide.)
— Cyril: "Tell me, it's welcoming as ever at your's!"
— Director: "You met again a short time ago, and suddenly, it's... ping-pong, a ping-pong between you, and it's bouncing well, you know."
— Cyril: "My only Bible, today, it's the civil code" (collection of laws applying to everyday life.)
— David: "[...] a moment of comedy, and that's true, it's been a good while, truly, we didn't see each other for four years, you know."
— David: "'My only Bible today, it's civil code.' Fuck, good thing that as a child, you didn't find a cook book. You would have made for us stuffed chicken, or chicken with onions, maybe, or beef with carrots." (Ooookay, explanation: here cops are called “poulets” (chicken), and IGS guys, the "polices' police", which controls other services, are nicknamed “boeuf-carottes”; probably because they let simmer rotten policemen.)
— Director: "Yes, make fun of him, hey."
— Cyril: "It puts pressure, too, because it's the first scene with both of us in it that we shoot, that we want to be good, you know."
— David: "He was a little 'stressed' this morning, he pissed everybody off, you know, two-pence faked apologies, 'I haven't my stuff'..."
(They hide.)
— Cyril: "And you, smart-ass, what do you believe in, beside yourself?"
— David: "In fact, he's freaking out, you know, that's all, he doesn't want to say so, he doesn't want to confess to himself, I'm saying so myself, because I know him well."
— Director: "Please, we rehearse, once." (Or: we do it again, same word in French.)
— David: [...] (Impossible to understand, sorry.)
— Cyril: "Ah... Ah yes."
— Director: "So, you got used to it, no?"
— Cyril: "No, it would hurt ('no way'). 'Tell me, it's welcoming as ever at your's.'"
(They hide.)
— Cyril: "Okay, do we move or do we philosophize?"
— David: "We move."
— Cyril: "When we meet again, it's easier, more pleasant, more... there's more communion, we're more relaxed than on the first one, let's say."

OMG I hoped that's what they were saying! I had a guess, but I couldn't be sure. I love that they're still all pissy and teasing each other like the first movie even when people are shooting at them. <3 Oh, boys.

I know, I love the banter too :-) And heh, it looks like David's as confused about the timeline as I am. If B13U is taking place in 2013, and B13 had to take place after 2010, then it's definitely not been 4 years since Leito and Damien saw each other (he couldn't have been talking about himself and Cyril, because there's ample video evidence that they were hovering on top of each other just two years ago). Unless he meant it figuratively, as in every minute that they were apart felt like a month ;-)
