The story of Max. It’s four and a half minutes long, and it’s hilarious.
Via Gerard Vanderleun, with whom I shared Chinese food in San Diego a few years back.
Merci, Max.
The Catmage Chronicles
Andy thought he was going crazy when a talking cat showed up at his front door. He couldn’t have been more wrong.Goldeneyes is a Catmage – a cat with human intelligence and magical abilities. Andy is an eighth grader who is smart, impulsive, and trying to avoid the school bully at all costs. A prophecy threw them together. There’s just one problem: Goldeneyes can’t stand humans.The Catmage world is heading toward war. Goldeneyes and Andy must try to stop the enemy from getting stronger. And they must save a powerful Catmage who’s been kidnapped. For Goldeneyes, it’s personal. That Catmage is her grandmother.Andy and Goldeneyes must try to put aside their differences. If they can’t, the enemy will soon be too powerful to defeat…
I don’t think I get the joke.
Steve, humor is subjective. I couldn’t stop laughing. You can’t have too many parodies of French film noir. Especially not ones that star the writer of Chinese fortune cookies.
I just found that depressing…like all such French films.
Poor kitty; must have been the second hand smoke.
I DO always wonder if the translation is accurate; I know that sometimes, it isn’t even close, if the actor knows that he isn’t playing for an audience that actually knows the language, he can get away with saying most anything…
I see now. My wife and I haven’t had much experience with French cinema beyond the short in Monty Python’s Meaning of Life {Fishy fishy fishy FISH! :) }. It probably works much better if you’re familiar with French noir.
