  • Well, even for Skyfall, the fact it seems it is impossible to find an IMAX image of it means they're probably not proud of what they did. According to a French projectionist on a forum I read, they even had to zoom in the image for every parts wher…
  • I don't need to translate I think ;)

  • I found again finally the subtitled 5 min New York Times video about Charlie Hebdo : In case you've been told all over your local news Charlie Hebdo are not very different from hate press, you can hear it straight from the horse's mouth that …
  • It was the same group, Boko Haram, responsible for the acts that caused the #Bring Back Our Girls campaign. So one can say at the same time it was not ignored worldwide, and yet that we still don't know what to do. The girls are still probably sex s…
  • Ok.. Super touchy topic but... The SPECTRE story explains that "powers that be" are in fact entangled with terrorists organizations, and that they cause terrorist attacks so that the powers that be, can be even more powerful, thanks to creating s…

  • Well, it seems some here are using a terrorist attack by people they know nothing of, against cartoonists they know nothing of, to make their point ! Since they consider economy proves everything, I found some stastistics as food for thought : …

  • According to many reports, the two terrorists of the Charlie Hebdo attack never went in some ISIL camp abroad, but they had contact with preachers involved, etc... And IIRC none of the terrorists so far in recent French history had the profile of so…
  • Well the economy feeds the problem because terrorists are richer and richer. And not poorer and poorer. The opposite of what you seem to say. Here their targets do not represent "the rich" at all : it's the police, the army, Jews, journalists, satir…

  • FYI, here are the victims of the previous shock terrorist attack against France in 2012. As you can see, we have two bankers, one trader, .. Yeah, 'it's the economy, stupid'. Amen.
  • bondjames wrote: » The problems are societal and economic. Amen. If you fear to look racist, they have won. And yet you keep on pointing out muslims as one of the "certain groups" if one reads between the lines IMO. Only half a dozen …
  • But what do you know about Charlie Hebdo ? Or are you talking about the other media which keep on choosing only the images related to Islam they published, which was only a very little minority of the lot ? Should these other media bear a responsabi…

  • Well, it's a bit weird, 'but it's the Internet', to read so much here about Charlie Hedo from some people who have never read it (I was a subscriber for 15+ years) and who have really a false opinion of what it is. IIRC, they always won the few tria…

  • One survivor has said he thought for a split second it was a prank when the terrorist entered the room, because they do lots of jokes when they gather to meet at the magazine.
  • Cabu was also considered a genius of caricature, able to caricature anyone with a few strokes. I'm pretty sure I've seen caricatures done by him of Craig, Brosnan, and possibly Connery or Moore, all for Bond related gags (mostly each time a movie wa…

  • Yes they are still on the loose but no paranoia here in Paris. And well, they are cold-blood terrorists who killed a list of targets (ie : to kill a magazine and those who protected it). There's a video of one of the terrorists calmly putting his sh…
  • I don't know for the reason the train scene was not done in GE. The Michael France GE screenplay is really super-easy to find on the Internet. Interesting to read it, very, very different from SP script on the way it is written (lots of text to desc…
