czeriThings I've learnt from my trip to Paris:
- 18-screen cinemas are harder to locate than you'd think.
- Google maps LIE.
- My French pronunciation is so horrible French people give up on me and answer in English when asked for directions.
- Regardless of what everyone says you will not necessarily like B13U if you liked B13.
- Even though it's been 17 years since I've last been to Paris, my impression of it hasn't changed. I think that is in fact the only thing my current and my 12-year-old self agree on. Amazing.
- B13U is a huge box office success - of the three screenings I planned to see I only managed to get tickets for two, and even that was because I was lucky enough to get to the ticket machine relatively early.
- There were maybe ten females in the audience; and the viewers' average age was late teens. Way to reach an intended demographic.
- Promo pictures lie - at least a third of the scenes depicted were not actually in the film.
- I really need to see a version of B13U that I can fully understand, because evidently the dialogues are hilarious.
Things I've learnt today:
- Crack really is good for everything! Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Date: 2009-02-27 10:52 pm (UTC)Let me know once you have the exact dates. I'd prefer to meet during the weekend, but I could always take half a day off work if the weekend isn't an option.
I keep quietly hoping that some other European countries will get B13U before the UK. And there is the French cinema in London, but I'm not sure B13U is the sort of film they'd decide to show...
As for watching dangerous stunts, I do admit that I could never understand the appeal of circuses or illusionist shows which rely on making it seem as if the performer is going to get killed. But as I've said, in David's and Cyril's case I have complete trust in their abilities and so I can watch them without worrying :-)
