CHILL OUT AND LOVE ARIZONA

Yeah, I made more of those. And they’re maybe not as good as the one where she is a happy bride. But that last one says it all I think: love Arizona because she hates herself so much right now. We can’t bail out on her. Seriously, I’ve read so much hatred, so many people talking shit about Arizona; and it hurt. I know, it can sound silly, her being a “fictional” character and all;but it did hurt me. I love Arizona, I love Callie, I love Shonda (though it might change depending or Richard’s fate), and I love Jessica Capshaw. She did an amazing job taking us through Arizona’s painful journey this year. And I am devastating about the cheating, of course (though, again not as much as Arizona is), but I’m glad she’s given such an interesting, complex, challenging story-line. And I still believe Arizona and Callie are endgame. There is gonna be heartbreak, maybe a break-up, maybe more Lauren (and sue me, but somehow I’d like to see it happen); but in the end Callie is gonna forgive Arizona for cheating and Arizona is gonna forgive Callie for cutting her leg off. And before you tell me, it’s just a fucking leg and cheating is way worse; it’s not just a fucking leg. Arizona lost herself in the woods, she saw Lexie die, then Mark died. So, yeah Callie saved her life, but maybe there’s a part of Arizona that wishes she hadn’t. Surviving is tough, cut her some slack. So please, chill the fuck out and love Arizona. She needs it right now.

Favorite Cinematic Couples

14. Amanda Bonner (Katharine Hepburn) and Adam Bonner (Spencer Tracy) in Adam’s Rib, directed by George Cukor (1949)

Amanda Bonner: What I said was true, there’s no difference between the sexes. Men, women, the same.

Adam Bonner: They are?

Amanda Bonner: Well, maybe there is a difference, but it’s a little difference.

Adam Bonner: Well, you know as the French say…

Amanda Bonner: What do they say?

Adam Bonner: Vive la difference!

Amanda Bonner: Which means?

Adam Bonner: Which means hurrah for that little difference.

La mer
Qu’on voit danser le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d’argent
La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie

La mer
Au ciel d’ete confond
Ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer bergere d’azur
Infinie
Voyez

Pres des etangs
Ces grands roseaux mouilles
Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs
Et ces maisons rouillees

La mer
Les a berces
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d’une chanson d’amour
La mer
A berce mon coeur pour la vie

I love this song. It just is beautiful and poetic and French in its unique way. Today would be Charles Trenet’s 100th birthday and it’s the most perfect way to celebrate his talent and remind you that La Mer (The Sea) came before Bobby Darin’s Under The Sea!

What’s in a Name? (Le Prénom), Mathieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patelliere (2013) ★★★½

A bunch of forty-something friends are having a dinner party in Babou (Valerie Benguigui*) and Pierre’s Parisian apartment -or waiting for it to start as Vincent’s pregnant girlfriend Anna is late (a habit of hers it seems). Vincent, a suave smooth-talking real estate agent (amazing Patrick Bruel) and Babou’s brother then decides to provide entertainment by making them guess and ultimately revealing the name of his unborn baby. And the entertainment is for us as the revelation sparks strife among the guests and the close-knit gang starts arguing about everything, from one’s supposed stinginess to the other’s selfishness, who was a mama’s boy and who really killed Moka (their mom’s neighbor’s dog) and what is their not-so-nice nickname for Claude (Guillaume de Tonquedec*), their always calm childhood friend… This formidable farce is adapted from the stage with most of its original (and wonderful) cast and you can feel the theater in its delightful verbality and its quid pro quos. It can be reminiscent of Tennessee Williams: truths are being told, long-kept secrets are disclosed, and it proves cathartic; and Woody Allen with the great dialogues and perfect timing. This hilarious gem will remind you of how conversations suddenly get down a slippery slope, make you laugh to tears, and teach you what NOT to name your future kid(s).

*Valerie Benguigui andGuillaume de Tonquedec won César Awards for their performances.
