@ArchiMedit Thanks!!

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@cbkenkar Have you seen the incredible cover of the upcoming Criterion dvd?

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@SeanEPanjab @ArchiMedit Pretty much!

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@SeanEPanjab @ArchiMedit I was!

@cbkenkar On the bright side, when you look for it on Netflix, you get the usual “Titles related to” thingy and it directs you to 13th and 12 Years a Slave -I do realize it’s just the algorithms but, well, at least that!

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@cbkenkar @IndieFlix Agreed!

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@cbkenkar @IndieFlix Also in addition to the obvious 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 reasons why it needed to be removed, it’s presumably in the public domain so not sure why it should be included on a paying streaming service in the first place...

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@cbkenkar @IndieFlix I actually just checked and it has been removed, thankfully!

@ArchiMedit Is that the dog named Philippe that they used to address as “vous” (or did I imagine that anecdote?)

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@ArchiMedit My personal rule of thumb is really just bonjour bc starting an email with chère Madame makes me feel like I’m writing to Bernadette Chirac

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@ArchiMedit Or when people spend the first fifteen of any convo on “ah pardon chez nous c’est trois [bises] haha, pardon, haha, oui oui”

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@ArchiMedit Come to think of it, maybe it’s precisely that awkwardness that we unconsciously aim for? As a sort of weird ice-breaker, kinda like the usual “Oui donc, vous...enfin tu...enfin... haha...on peut se tutoyer, non? Oui? Non? Haha” between people of the same age group

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@ArchiMedit I mean the whole thing is completely insane...

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@michaeltalbotuk @DrTermagant @BloomsburyAcad Thank you! It’s definitely meant for classroom use!

[Etienne Charriere @e_charriere]

@DrTermagant @BloomsburyAcad Thanks, Sarah!! (And yes, there should be a paperback at some point) :)

@Bashakella 😵😵😵😵😵that picture though... And yes, more relevant than ever!
