On DVD: 11 Ways to Remember the Late, Great Claude Chabrol

One of the great lions of the French New Wave — and famously the most Hitchcockian of the tribe — Claude Chabrol went the way of all flesh this weekend at the age of 80, leaving scores of must-sees behind, plenty of them on DVD. Unlike his compatriots, Chabrol got off to a slow start, and his late films are some of his best…

Jean-Luc Godard, Piracy Defender

Famed French filmmaker (and possible Academy Award Honoree ) Jean-Luc Godard is using some of the money he saved with his Hyundai purchase to fight the good fight against copyright laws. The filmmaker is donating 1,000 Euros to the defense of James Climent, who is accused of downloading 13,788 MP3 s illegally. In a statement about the donation Godard said, “There is no such thing as intellectual property.” Maybe Climent can just use the same defense Godard used when director Sam Fuller accused him of plagiarism: Downloading those 13,788 MP3 s wasn’t stealing, it was homage .

Another Resident Evil Sequel on the Way, This Time with Your Input

Since Resident Evil: Afterlife wiped the floor with the box office competition this weekend, it’s not a huge surprise that Milla Jovovich confirmed plans for yet another sequel. Only this time, it’s going to be an interactive process, with Director Paul W.S. Anderson discussing the project with fans on “twitter and stuff” to get ideas for the movie. No word yet on whether they will take posts like “make a good movie for once” into account. [ Vulture ]

‘Get It Up or I’ll Cut It Off’: A Meditation on the Cinematic Brilliance of Machete Maidens Unleashed!

A few days back, after a festival day that began with two-hours-plus of French people talking incessantly while hiding their secrets from one another (Guillaume Canet’s snoozy Little White Lies ), progressed to a moody meditation on the agonies of preteen vampirism (Matt Reeves’ bracing Let Me In ), and was rounded off, just before dinner time, with a trapped James Franco sawing his arm off with a teensy knife (thank you, Danny Boyle), I wandered listlessly around the excessively dazzling and noisy Scotiabank screening complex. I wanted one more movie to finish the day, but what? A nice little Macedonian film, perhaps? Maybe I could find some three-hour Japanese thing with nice scenery.

Heide Lindgren Nude for Playboy France of the Day

Here is the new face for Guess. Her name is Heide Lindgren. That’s all I really know about her, other than that she got naked in Playboy France, which unlike Playboy in North America, is more of a fashion magazine, because the french have been getting naked in magazines for decades, and naked in public places for decades, that our low grade, softcore at best porn is considered mainstream there…which is really the way it should be…but the Christian fundamentalists won’t let that ever happen, so I remain a porn site in America and boring in Europe…..and here are the pics of her nice natural tits….

Lindsay Lohan Might Break Her Silence with Oprah Winfrey

Get your grains of salt out for this one. According to RadarOnline.com , Lindsay Lohan is in talks to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show . “Things are heating up in a good way,” an anonymous source told Radar. “Definitely some good conversations. We’re crossing our fingers it works out for Oprah’s last season.” Yes, because if Oprah doesn’t get an interview with Lindsay Lohan during her final season, the last 24 years will have been for naught.

Has Woody Allen Replaced Carla Bruni in Midnight in Paris?

If only she had a 36th take ! According to the ever-reliable Daily Mail , Woody Allen has taken the necessary steps to cutting French first lady — and terrible baguette holder — Carla Bruni out of Midnight in Paris by having French actress Lea Seydoux re-film Bruni’s scenes. Seydoux was added to the cast back in August, however, so perhaps she was just spotted shooting another baguette scene, and not a replacement one. Either way, the biggest winner here is the baguette industry. [ Daily Mail ]

Maryse Ouellet Is Quite A Specimen

I was thinking of saving these pictures of French Canadian hottie Maryse Ouellet for one of my picture moments , we’ve seen her there before, but after studying them quietly alone in my room for several hours I’ve decided they’re too damn hot and need their own post. She looks like my ideal woman, fake blonde hair, fake tan, fake boobs and an incredibly tight oiled up body. Sign me up.
