Salut tout le monde,
The Jim Byrnes Show (episodes of 1998) airs on Bravo, canadian network, on
Tuesday night at 7:30 pm ; the same episode reruns on the following
morning, Wednesday at 8 am.
Sentiments (translation : Feelings) starring Alexandra Vandernoot will air
for the next 12 weeks on Serie +, on Wednesday night, 11 pm. It is a
mini-serie.
Without alumni, there is a show on Global , airing once a week somewhere in
the schedule, called Blackfly. It is an historical spoof, set after the
conquest (set therefore after 1759 when England invaded and won against
Nouvelle-France). It has weird major characters - one of them being French
Canadian with the lousiest French accent I have heard, I can fake bad
French accent and I can do a real French accent, but that one , is pretty
awful. And it has an highlander, kilt and all, bonnet on the head and
attitude to match as well. All pretty inaccurate and not quite humorous. I
guess maybe English Canadians have a different point of view - oups I do
not dare guess, I am pretty sure.
And on today episode of The Jim Byrnes Show, the first joke was about
Lucien Bouchard, which I am pretty sure most of you do not know. But that
they know of him in B.C. , in Vancouver (where I was told that Chinese ,
not French, was the second official language and where I was told to look
in the international section for a cd from a singer from Quebec) is quite
amazing. I have no idea whatsoever who are the premier of any other
provinces, but Ontario; yet to know Lucien Bouchard in Vancouver is a feast
in itself. (Lucien Bouchard was premier of the province of Quebec until
last fall).
And of course, Highlander itself and The Raven are still running all the
time; HL daily, three times a day on Space, unedited, uncut, Raven once a
week on Space same do, HL weekly, nine times a week on Z, in French.
Highlander:Endgame began to air in the cinema in France on May 1st. The
critics so far are pretty bad. Oh how surprising. But what seems to air in
French and English overthere seems to be the same lenghtier version.
Mention were made of scenes I have not seen here. What is for rent here
are two different versions - the French ones I saw (which is dubbed by
different actors in France, Pierre Dourlens actually dubbed AP in France -
he was the original and sole French voice for the serie, and CL dubbing
himself ; none of this for the Quebec version) is the one for rent, nothing
new or add to it, 88 minutes only. The English ones is longer, I guess with
those scenes I never saw. And likely the different ending.
Where will canon be ? >g<
Anyway,
A la prochaine,
JoAnne
