Audiovisual Pollution

The next frontier of environmental awareness and action! Audiovisual pollution can induce different kinds of brain abnormalities leading to a rising tide of learning disabilities and other cognitive dysfunctions – in adults and, particularly, in children growing up in such unhealthy settings.

Another round of France vs. US 2July 2005

I am still thinking of that comparison between French and US culture. This time what comes to mind are a few differences between the 1973 British-French co-production The Day of the Jackal and its 1997 US remake. In the original, the Jackal is a slender, handsome guy (granted, played by a British actor) who sports a custom-made rifle holding one round of ammunition and fitting within a crutch. In the US version the Jackal is played by Bruce Willis who uses a laptop-operated remote control to target a giant machine gun or automatic cannon hidden in a mini van. Could it really have been the other way around?
