tha french nu wave

some of ya's may recall there being some inner band debate re: the subject of cinema on our myspace blog. well i had every intention of keeping said debate alive and fresh and then the blogs got deleted along with the genius meanderings of the two-headed beast known as restavrant, formerly restaurant. okay, not formerly, just maybe formerly. we were thinking about changing the name to restavrant, but when you ask the avg citizen they go, 'what the hell's a restavrant?' and then, right then and there, you have to make a decision as to whether or not you're going to throw your cell phone at them really hard. i hate that moment, so it may not be worth it to replace the 'u' with a 'v' just because we think it's cool and it has some kind of ancient rome connotation. anyway, listen: go rent robert bresson's 'pickpocket' and watch all the supplemental material. i think it actually preceded what is considered the new wave as popularized by truffaut and godard and those cats, but the seeds were planted and it's cotdamn genius. yes, i know nobody is reading this and yes i know that people don't like to be told what to do. but if just one pool-cuber gets the message then my job is done and i can retire to the sud of france with my girl, atlanta, and be done with trying to rescue your puppy dog heart.

guidance, state
