They should do a movie about "le tueur de l'Oise". He was a guy who killed, robbed, attacked, fashioned explosive devices, wrote threatening letters, etc... who led the gendarmes and police through a wild chase for months before getting caught. There would be a rising suspicion among squads, a high-pressure chase through swampy areas, exploding cars, girls falling out of cars, and the final reveal would happen in the most dramatic fashion.

It happened in the late 1970s in the Oise département, north-east of Paris, right on the heels of another case that terrorised the region, the Shadow Killer.

Louis de Funès

Louis de Funès, the iconic French actor, born on July 31, 1914, in Courbevoie, France, left an indelible mark on cinema with his impeccable comedic timing and expressive facial expressions. His career spanned decades, beginning on stage and transitioning to film in the late 1940s. Initially cast in supporting roles, de Funès' animated persona and distinct voice began captivating audiences. He honed his trademark style of comedy—rapid-fire delivery, exaggerated reactions, and physical comedy—earning recognition in the 1960s.

Collaborating with director Jean Girault, de Funès rose to fame starring as the irascible character in "Le Gendarme de Saint-Tropez" (1964). The film's success catapulted him into stardom, making him synonymous with laughter in French cinema. His versatility allowed him to portray a spectrum of characters, from bumbling police officers to harried businessmen and eccentric aristocrats, infusing each role with energy and flair. His performances were marked by meticulous attention to detail, improvisation, and subtle gestures that added layers of humor.

De Funès' appeal transcended generations and national borders. His films, celebrated for their wit and charm, resonate globally. His influence on comedy and cinema is profound, inspiring a new generation of actors and comedians with intelligent humor that resonates universally. His legacy is evident in tributes, adaptations, and homages across modern media, solidifying his status as a cultural icon.

In his later years, despite health challenges, de Funès continued to act prolifically, further cementing his place in cinematic history. Privately, he cherished family life, enjoying moments with his wife and children away from the spotlight. Louis de Funès passed away on January 27, 1983, leaving behind a legacy of laughter and joy. His films remain timeless classics, celebrated for their humor, vitality, and brilliance. His ability to evoke laughter and touch hearts reminds us of the enduring power of humor and the magic of cinema, honoring a legend whose spirit lives on through the laughter he brought to millions worldwide.

Le fait qu’il n’y est aucun édit de Soeur Clotilde (Les Gendarmes à Saint-Tropez) est une insulte à toute la Pop culture française.

Go faire un édit sur All American Bitch.

watching tv ('le gendarme se marie')

^ Macron did not enjoy us symbolically shutting him up by banging pans on Monday, and today for his official visit to a small town in the South of France, the Police Prefecture banned pots and pans from city streets. They might have realised it sounded insane, because they artfully phrased it as “passersby are banned from carrying portable sonorous devices” (‘dispositif sonore portatif’—here’s the prefectural decree:)

I won’t blame you if you think that’s too dumb to believe, but TV news today really showed us cops in that town explaining to people that saucepans shall not pass, and old ladies grumbling as they relinquished the old pans they had planned on using for protesting. (My mum lives nearby and was devastated that she didn’t go. “I could have been fined for illegal possession of saucepan... a once-in-a-lifetime crime...”)

(The caption says pans are being confiscated.) The lady on the left went through all five stages of grief at the thought of leaving her pan in police custody, from denial (“seriously?”) to bargaining (“can I keep my tin can?”) and anger (telling a cop “oh, go fuck yourself” on national television in a beautiful Southern accent) then finally, sadly walking away to leave her pan and can atop a pile of other confiscated kitchenware.

People trolled them so hard with the “portable sonorous device” thing that the police prefecture eventually responded that this never meant pans at all, and if police officers banned saucepans it’s because they didn’t understand the prefectural decree. (That meme of someone sweating in front of two buttons and it’s “we admit we issued a laughable (and illegal) decree” vs. “we imply cops have the reading comprehension of an oyster”...) (I tried to find a link for the prefecture spokesperson’s defensive statement but couldn’t find it again :( But I found another article from today saying protesters threw potatoes and eggs at gendarmes so it was a worthwhile google search.)

Here’s a tweet with a video:

For a visit to a village of 4000 people, 600 cops were deployed to ensure Macron’s safety (from seditious kitchen utensils) (okay, and potatoes). Now we’ve got MPs raising philosophical questions like “Can you solve a democratic crisis by banning saucepans...?” and the Association for the Protection of Constitutional Freedoms saying the prefectural decree was illegal as it “seems to associate the act of participating in a saucepan concert with a terrorist threat.” I mean it’s outrageous but also you’ve got to laugh at the absurdist play we find ourselves in.

One last thing:

^ The last sentence of Le Monde’s article summing up today’s presidential visit was: “Macron interacted at length with teachers, sitting in a circle around him on chairs hastily set up outside in the school’s playground”—because trade unionists shut off the power in the building Macron was visiting, for the second time this week, which is always funny.
