  My DVD collection is small, being made up mostly of movies that I expect to watch many times. And Mr. Hulot's Holiday, Mon Oncle, Playtime and Jour De Fete are among these.

  from a great talent. Jacques Tati reminds me a bit of Buster Keaton, with a bit of Stan Laurel, Cantiflas, and Harold Lloyd thrown in. The film is a classic in every sense of the word. It would be one of my 10 films for a desert isle.......

      the term "...bad Jacques Tati" made me remember something.

      Several years ago I was in the mens room at work, in a stall... and someone walked in, walked over to the urinal, unzipped, paused and started saying - with feeling - "Bad dog!" "Bad Dog!"

      Needless to say I remained very quiet. That someone was a producer for Nickelodeon and before anyone thinks the worst, a little later we had to record a temp VO for the piece he was working on and he read it and, you guessed it, it included that phrase "Bad dog!".

      Until then though, I was pretty weirded out.
      

      Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.

  A different kind of comedy. A comedy of nostalgia.
