niceys positive anon!! i don't agree with you on everything but you are so clearly like well read and well rounded that you've helped me think through a lot of my own inconsistencies and hypocrises in my own political and social thought, even if i do have slightly different conclusions at times then u (mainly because i believe there's more of a place for idealism and 'mind politics' than u do). anyway this is a preamble to ask if you have recommended reading in the past and if not if you had any recommended reading? there's some obvious like Read Marx but beyond that im always a little lost wading through theory and given you seem well read and i always admire your takes, i wondered about your recs

Au passage, c'est un extrait de cette fameuse émission sur Brassens où Goldman dit qu'il ne connaît que "l'auvergnat" et qu'il critique Brassens à la fin pour avoir fait le STO (l'extrait ci-dessous vers 8:10 si vous voulez voir ce qu'on appelle le malaise télévisuel) ("Oui, j'ai appris des choses [sur Brassens], y a des choses admirables, y a des choses que je DETESTE, comme cette chanson que je trouve OBSCENE")

EGALEMENT, c'est Maxime le Forestier qui a manifestement décidé de qui chantait quoi dans cette émission et il introduit Goldman sur "Si seulement il était jolie" en disant :

"[Cette chanson] est sans doute la plus misogyne que [Brassens] a écrite et c'est pour ça que je trouve ça très bien que ce soit Jean-Jacques qui la chante."

La chanson de Brassens :

Malheureusement elle est très bête

Et tout à fait analphabète

La version de Goldman :

Malheureusement elle est très bête

Et tout à fait analphabète

Et tout à fait anale....... et phabète en plus !

Moi à treize ans : :) :) :)

Moi à 28 ans, comprenant le jeu de mots :

Soudain saisie par l'idée que si je continue mon French AU pour Captain America, Steve se réveillera dans une France gouvernée par Sarkozy, sera interviewé par Michel Drucker, Yann Barthès dans "Le petit journal", découvrira qu'on est passé à l'euro depuis des années...

2011 c'est l'année de l'intervention française en Lybie contre les forces de Khadafi, le début de l'affaire Dupont de Ligonnès, de l'arrestation de DSK à New-York pour agression sexuelle, la proclamation de Peyong-Chang pour les JO d'hiver de 2018, la sortie du film "Intouchables" avec Omar Sy et François Cluzet, du tout dernier film "Harry Potter", c'est "The artist" primé à Cannes... La fin de la télévision en analogique, remplacée par la TNT.

Niveau musique voilà ce qui était populaire :

"Rolling in the deep", "Born this way", "Raise your glass", "Raise your glass", "Party rock anthem", "The A team", "Paradise", "Move like Jagger", "S&M", "Run the world (girls)"...

Côté francophone : "La fée" de Zaz, "L'horloge tourne" de Mickaël Miro... "La Seine" de Vanessa Paradis...

Michel Serrault and Mathieu Kassovitz in Assassin(s) (Mathieu Kassovitz, 1997) Cast: Michel Serrault, Mathieu Kassovitz, Hélène de Fougerolles, Danièle Lebrun, Léa Drucker, Mehdi Benoufa, Robert Gendru, François Levantal. Screenplay: Nicolas Boukhrief, Mathieu Kassovitz. Cinematography: Pierre Aïm. Production design: Philippe Chiffre. Film editing: Mathieu Kassovitz, Yannick Kergoat. Music: Carter Burwell. Perhaps no movie since Network (Sidney Lumet, 1976) has sledgehammered television quite so thoroughly as Assassin(s). But where Network took the business of television for its target, Assassin(s) aims at the medium's ubiquity and its desensitizing effect on viewers. It's not a novel point, of course, and even the spin writer-director Mathieu Kassovitz decides to give it -- the effect TV has in creating a culture of violence -- is neither fresh nor unquestioned. The story at the film's center is about an aging professional hit man, Mr. Wagner (Michel Serrault), who takes on a young petty thief, Max (Kassovitz), as his apprentice. It's set in the Parisian banlieus that were the socio-political milieu for Kassovitz's earlier (and much better) film about violence, La Haine (1995). It opens with Mr. Wagner guiding Max into the brutal and entirely gratuitous murder of an elderly man, and then flashes back to bring the story up to a recapitulation of the event -- rubbing our noses in it, so to speak. Max is a layabout and a screwup, but there is a core of reluctance within him that Mr. Wagner is determined to obliterate. Eventually, Max takes on his own protégé, a teenager named Mehdi (Mehdi Benoufa), who is decidedly not reluctant to engage in a little killing, seeing it as just an extension of the video games he plays. Throughout the film, television sets are blaring game shows, commercials, sitcoms, and even nature documentaries in the background, an ironic if sometimes heavy-handed counterpoint to the murders committed by Mr. Wagner, Max, and Mehdi. Kassovitz stages much of the film well, extracting full shock value, and he sometimes embroiders the realism of the story with surreal touches: At one point, when Mr. Wagner is walking away from Max, we see a demonic tail emerge from beneath Wagner's overcoat -- or is it Max, perpetually stoned, who sees this? More effectively, reinforcing Kassovitz's treatment of the effects of television, Mehdi -- who is coming unglued after his first commissioned hit -- watches a TV sitcom about a group of young people that suddenly turns into violent, necrophiliac pornography, accompanied by a laugh track. Kassovitz showed undeniable talent with La Haine, and some of it is on display here. Assassin(s) was booed at the Cannes festival, and has never received a wide commercial release in the United States, but it's something of a fascinating (if often repellent) failure.
