Whaddid I say about French sci-fi movies? Uggh. A frog can't tell a spaceship from his own pointy ass.
But this was not always so. It must be admitted that Jules Verne was an eater of snails, and of course Georges Méliès is the very inventor of science fiction cinema. And I note that, at least in South Africa (see District 9), the old influence of French Calvinism does not completely erode one's capacity for the genre. So what the heck happened in République française? Was it under the rule of Vichy stooges that the French began to mistake their own colon for outer space? Perhaps Tarantino will shed some light when I see Inglourious Basterds this evening.
