I have just learned it is going to be 2-3 years before Pluribus Season 2. That is ridiculous, I would not have bothered watching season 1 knowing this. What the hell.

I don't know if the extras on the blu-ray confirm it, but French wiki quotes Raoul Coutard, director of photography stating that the US producer Joseph E. Levine demanding extra nude scenes.

Quote from: celedhring on Today at 04:40:53 AMSince Brigitte Bardot just died and we got the new the Odissey trailer, found it fitting to revisit Le Mepris.

I feel I'd rather watch Lang's version  :D

So you don't like her buttocks.
Nothing more to say.  :P

IIRC, isn't the story (might be urban legend) that half the budget of the film had gone to her and the producers wanted their money's worth so they strongarmed Godard to have her show some skin and he shot that scene? The camera is pretty damn lecherous indeed, even mockingly so.

RIP Brigitte Bardot :(

This Le Monde éditorial describes her changing or rather several personas over the years:

Google has declined rapidly for a decade when it comes to search. I am interested in alternatives too.

I hate that Google makes me relearn deeply ingrained muscle memory - used to be that when you switched between e.g. image search and all results "All" was on the top left ... now they put AI there. <_< But yeah, duckduckgo has become my main search engine in many ways.

Quote from: garbon on Today at 01:56:49 AMI just saw at end of Feb 2026, the UK will finally enforced its ETA scheme. Dual nationals will need to enter UK on their British passport. Given US requires me to enter and exit US on an American passport, looks like this will be first time that UK and US requirements directly conflict. I wonder what guidance will eventually say.

First I've heard of this. The boy was needing his passport renewing next year and we were thinking of just getting a Swiss one.
Ridiculous <_<
