還是法國人最酷!Les Guignols de l'info





很抱歉,第二支video必須要懂得法文才能懂。但是,讓人覺得實在太酷的地方,是仿美國影集"Friends"的部份。因為去年丹麥有報紙刊出對伊斯蘭莫罕莫德的嘲笑漫畫後,引起極端伊斯蘭教對丹麥和全世界嚴重的不滿。最近一份法國報紙更大膽刊出了嘲笑的封面,這讓向來跟回教國家關係良好的法國,也燃起了隱隱的危機。不過,正當大家都在戰戰兢兢的時候,這個向來誰都敢批評的人偶秀,乾脆就來一段每個宗教都一起嘲笑的短劇。好讓極端伊斯蘭教徒不要再小心眼的以為又被歧視了。

Snow Patrol Homages Claude Lelouch

Snow Patrol's Open Your Eyes MV, UK version, 2007


Claude Lelouch's C'etait un Rendezvous, 1976


Snow Patrol chose Claude Lelouch's 1976 short film - C'etait un Rendezvous as "Open Your Eyes" MV. The short film was about 9 minutes, and The Snow Patrol version started after Place Concord.
Lelouch said it himself it was a Mercedes 450SEL 6,9.Those were rare and had a 6,9litre V8 with 286hp,in reality closer to 330hp,but rated conservatively by mercedes.Torque was 580Nm.Journalists who drove the 6,9 in 1975 said they managed 0-62mph (0-100kkm/h) in 6,5seconds and saw 148mph (238km/h) on the speedo.Some racing-drivers saw 155mph on the speedo.That Mercedes saloon was very FAST in the 70's.
