    French Top Gun

    It's another great comic strip which is related to a lot of comics in France. As well as the superheroes of Marvel know each others, the characters of different comic strips in France know and have adventures together. Spirou.com : Tout sur Spirou ! Spirou (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free...

    What Is The Last Movie/Show You Saw?

    La Grande Vadrouille (en: Don't Look Now... We're Being Shot At!), for the 9th time, sunday with my family. And still laughing while watching it. Actually, I'm proud to say that I own it in videotape format, not colored. How a great time when you put the stuff in the machine, and it's doing lots...

    The Canonical List of French Jokes

    Are we talking about me? Actually... I'm not. And I'm not beardy. But, I've laugh a lot about the myth that french armies are cowards and yellow bellies. I've been in the army for one year, student duties called me back to schools, but I'm still wanting to enter the french army. I swear that I...

    Carpet bombing

    Ok, is it related to what have called the blitzkrieg? I've been in Normandy, and I've already seen the huge holes made by the bombs. Do not worry, I've seen it!

    French Top Gun

    Ah ok! Yes, it was a comic strip first, with two characters called Tanguy and Laverdure. I own the first three comics strips, which begin with their adventures during their training at the pilot's school. Then, they have a lot of adventures, and they act as heroes but they are not. It was one of...

    The Canonical List of French Jokes

    Ah great, our dear french actor Depardieu! We are trying to forget him, but still watching Cyrano de Bergerac movie (it's on display on our tv this week). His best movie in my mind (behind the fact that Cyrano de Bergerac is my favorite theatre play). But, do not forget that this man...

    The Canonical List of French Jokes

    You've ask for it, but I think that you won't like it ;) We have our own jokes in France too. I really liked those one: Q: Why do the French call their fighter the *Mirage*? A: Because it doesn't really exist. (ok, this one is a little bit true. Tell me the truth: does your government paid...

    Carpet bombing

    I have already read that. I was talking of that: All in all, the raids almost killed 600 000 persons and injuried 800 000 among the civilian german during the war. Thousand aged cities are fully destroyed. The bomber command leader, Arthur Harris, said: "We always have worked with the idea...

    Thoughts and condolences to the French people

    Nothing but fanatics. Muslims are not related to this. In France, we were really surprised by the impact it has on the whole world. But it's definitively the fault of anyone but the terrorism. Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité. To us, it wasn't an other terrorist attack, but a threat on our...

    Carpet bombing

    Hello there! I have read from Clostermann's book about the carpet bombing, which consisted in a drop of a large amount of bombs on the target. According to Clostermann, it killed a lot of civilian people, during the war, especially in Dresde and in Normandy. Is it a true strategic operation or...

    French Top Gun

    Here's the VO trailer, with english subtitles, but it doesn't really match with the movie and what is said. I mean that the subtitles do not translate the frankness/colloquial (thanks to google translate ><), the easy way to speak of the movie. It's sometimes really rude. Moreover, it does not...

    French Top Gun

    It is a little bit more complicated but modern war is complicated ^^ Sure, the black sheep squadron tv serie was not an historical serie. But it allowed the squadron and its planes to be known in Europe. So as many other movies which promote different planes each time. Personnally I think that...
