Boy I love this film. I am a huge fan of these American films from the 80s and early 90s, like Home alone, Risky Business, the Gremlins etc. I also like Top Gun, although I think it was just a warm up for a masterpiece that followed : the Days of the Thunder.
Everything is great about this film : the actors, the music, the dialogues, the script, the general atmosphere, everything.
Otherwise it's springtime here in Paris, girls are starting to wear miniskirts. You can smell the hormones in the air.

At Convention, there are some decent cafés, though no bars. I don't know Mister Beuret, but I like his name pretty much. I'll try it one of these days. The only place in the arrondissement with something to do is vers La Motte-Picquet - Grenelle, but not so close to me - I usually go Montparnasse, cause my friends are bretons.
 Right, two can play at that game!!!

I haven't seen Days of Thunder, but I've heard that one of the characters refers to Tom Cruise's character as Tom by accident at one point, but it's kept in the final cut of the film!

It IS stupid!

This literally translates to "You will be lacking to me", which makes perfect sense; the reflexive pronoun 'me' makes it so that the lacking is directed to the first person [first person referring to the "I", "me", "my", "mine" subjects] - and "manqueras" is a future tense of the verb "manquer" (which means "to lack") perfectly conjugated with the secong person singular/informal [the "tu" subject]. But my software says:
Je m'ennuierai de vous.
Maybe some esperts on the subject could cure my confusion a bit?
'Je m'ennuierai de vous' literally means 'I will long for you'.
Obviously your French is much more reliable than your software. :)

Oh - and sorry for writing a post off-topic to the conversation. I HAVE seen my stepmother is an alien, and I like the scene in which the stepwother arm-wrestles the character who is played by Dan Akroyd. |

And in that above IceCream post, "esperts" was a typo. I meant to type "experts". |

Is this software reliable? Quite frankly, I can't quite find any GOOD software. The software I use often translates English phrases to French phrases very poorly, and vise versa.
For example, I learned in school that if I were to write "I should have gone to the Eiffel tower" in French, I would write the following:
J'aurais dû aller à la Tour Eiffel.
This phrase is, I THINK (I am probably wrong), written in the past conditional tense, which is formed by taking the future stem of a verb and adding in the imperfect endings - in this case, the ending is "ais", becuase the subject is a first person singular, and "ais" is the imperfect ending that corresponds with the first person singular. But according to my software, the correct way to write "I should have gone to the Eiffel Tower" is the following:
Je devrais être allé à la tour d'Eiffel
That looks stupid. They just took "je devrais" and slapped it on with "être allé" becuase "allé" is a verb that takes "être", rather than "avoir", as the auxiliary verb when in the past tense. Is this correct?
And furthermore, I thought that the correct way to say the English phrase "I Will Miss You" in French.........was the following:
Tu me manqueras.
This literally translates to "You will be lacking to me", which makes perfect sense; the reflexive pronoun 'me' makes it so that the lacking is directed to the first person [first person referring to the "I", "me", "my", "mine" subjects] - and "manqueras" is a future tense of the verb "manquer" (which means "to lack") perfectly conjugated with the secong person singular/informal [the "tu" subject]. But my software says:
Je m'ennuierai de vous.
Maybe some esperts on the subject could cure my confusion a bit?
And floop, if your software doesn't make these mistakes (again, I THINK they are mistakes, but I'm not sure), I would very much lke to be apprised of your software. |

.....If you've finished. I've only seen the film once and yes the girl from buffy is in it (as you can see in the poster) its kinda like coneheads. In the fact that its not very good its about an alien who doesn't know much about earth and stuff and its got Dan Aykroyd in it.

Adnan should try that as well. It will be a good thing for Adnan's already strong ego!

Hey, perhaps I know you from the metro, or something. I suspect you to be the guy who walked on my foot the other day.
That can't be me, I go to work by bike. And I live near Avenue Emile Zola.
Ever tried Le General Beuret? It's a new bar near la mairie du XVème, it's pas mal. Well it's the only bar at kilometres at the ronde, but it's decent.

Uh... Where exactly in Paris? I guess you got some kind of micro-climate there, cause I'm in Paris too, and it's cloudy and cold as hell. I saw a lot of girls in mini-skirts last week-end though.
