Paris

Paris has come to an end. I have been back in the States for a week now, and I am still in reverse culture-shock. I want to walk across the street to a pasterierre, and get a pan au chocolat and a cafe con creme. I think Alterra coffee is too weak! That is insane. Alterra is one of the strongest brands of coffee there is. Esh...
I miss Paris, I want to go back to Sacre Couer and look at Paris below. I never got to the Moulin Rouge--Not to see a show, but rather to see the outside of it. A show at the Moulin Rouge costs 120 Euros. Plus... Its not like the movie.
The atmosphere for film in Paris is amazing. I went to Studio 28, which is one of the original theaters people went to see films. It is surreal going there. They have cinemas dedicated to playing old American classics, and theaters that are Art Houses. Art House isn't a dirty word in France either. We hear a movie is playing at an Art House, most shy away from it, but the French embrace it. They play movies in France, that will not get theatrical releases in the USA, and if the film does- it has been severely changed- ie. Anti-Christ. Warning: Do not go see Anti-Christ. It has nothing to do with religion, it is just emotionally jarring and will give anyone nightmares, even those who love gore movies. As Stephanie said, "It makes Tetsuo look like a Disney film." I look at a scissors and I scurm.
