Paraphrasing

We watched Broken English over the weekend and there’s this one part where Parker Posey’s character is recovering from an anxiety attack and she asks her new, uncomplicated French lover if he thinks she’s going to turn into her mother. And he says no, what happens is that you pick up where your parents left off.

So, I liked that.

    Good night! I’m in serious trouble then.

    I love and adore that movie. And I’ve already added every other movie Melvil Poupaud (the uncomplicated French boyfriend) is in to my Netflix queue.

  6. Parker Posey can do no wrong. Have you seen “Party Girl”?
    Jules
    House of Jules

    Yeah. I like that, too. I hope it’s true.

    It sounds about right. My foolish parents abandoned the solar-powered aluminium submarine, but I’ve got it on track for completion by 2016. And then the world will bow before me.

  9. I saw this movie, what I didn’t know existed, with my french lover who is going back to France in five months. Seriously, they are all that uncomplicated.

    Or else someone scripted out my life. Who knows.

    i nearly spit out my Postum and choked on my Lipitor reading that! Fie, I say!

  12. Average Jane says:

    I like that, too, especially since I suspect that I’m just now starting to pick up where my mother left off. It’s good to know I can take the whole thing down a different path from here.

    More importantly, did it take everything in your power not to bash your head against the television screen in a vain attempt to climb in and french Parker Posey?

    Oh, am I the only one with that problem when I watch her movies?

    ….

    I can’t find any way to message you on NaBloPoMo. Please, I need the creator of that to delete my page so it doesn’t come up in google searches. Please let me know where I can contact you so that I can give you the information.

    Don’t uncomplicated French lovers always know just what to say.
