Christmas Lights
It was movie night last night. My usual M.O. is to have an idea of what I want to see, then take a walk up and down the Champs Elysées to check the marquis of each cinema to see if I change my mind.
Tonight the street was all lit up with Christmas lights, and while the temperature has dropped, it was thronged as usual. With all the young people who seem to be there to see who else is there as much as to shop (in French, it's flanner), it's kind of like an open air Eaton Centre with architecture.
I would have gone to see The Departed, but I'd missed the early shows, and the later ones would have let out past midnight. Instead I selected The Prestige (see reviews), which was great. I'd enthuse further, but I might give something away (but see if you can spot David Bowie in the supporting cast, well hidden by his dialogue coach and hair stylist).
