I met the girls at the cinema on Rue de la Republique (where I saw Elle s'appellait Sarah). We saw Date Limite (Due Date in English). The movie was in its VO (original version in English), but had French subtitles... which were sometimes funny to read as they didn't quite make the joke. It was a funny, but ridiculous movie. I enjoyed laughing before most of the French people because I could anticipate the joke or get the joke before they could:) I know that sounds evil... but I always feel a step behind everywhere else, it was nice to have the advantage!
Anyway, we noticed that the new Audrey Tautou movie is having an advanced premier at this same theater this coming Thursday... and she's actually going to be there! (She's a very famous French actress, and my favorite. She was the French girl in the Da Vinci Code... also very known for her star role in Amelie.) We reserved tickets, and I'm very excited to go and see her in person! The only thing I'm slightly worried about is the showing is at 8:30pm, so it probably won't be over until 10:30/11 after a little q&a. The tram runs until after midnight, so I should be fine getting home, it's just that I've never been out that late by myself... so I'm going to make sure Laurence knows I'm going. I'm sure I'll be fine, but you can never be too safe!
After the movie, we went to the Place des Terreaux to get out of the rain and to get something to drink. It was fun to hang out... even for just a little while. We're all meeting up tomorrow to go visit Helen, who lives in Bourg-en-Bresse, about an hour outside of Lyon by train. We're leaving at 10am, so we'll be there at 11 and leave around 5:30pm... putting me back home around 7. It'll be a busy little Saturday, but fun... just like today:)
Reste cool! Bon week-end!
After you see the actress, you'll have to tell your students that you DO "see the stars." :-)
