i actually need to buy the original on dvd. i already have havana nights. do you think it's weird, the "remake" thing? i think it's sorta odd that the remake takes place before the first one

I think of it as two seperate movies, otherwise it doesn't make sense.

I also think of them as two separate movies with the same basic plot line. I'm a huge fan of the first movie so I was all ready to hate the second one when it came out but as it turns out, I love it too! I thought it was an interesting idea to include some history into it, and I was amazed at how well they reproduced Havana in the 50s without having access to the island since it's an American production. I spent a week in Havana last year and although it's all run down now, you can tell it used to look exactly like in the movie.

I listen to a lot of music. My favorite is rock music. Most of the bands I like are... old ! lol I also like classical music. And I'm a fan of Mylène Farmer, a french singer. She's very famous here, but I don't think a lot of American people have already heard of her.

I haven't heard of her, but I really like the French band Air.

I know her, she was born in Quebec! She's got some pretty good songs, I think my favorite one is Désanchantée. There are quite a few bands I like from France: Niagara, Noir Désir and Indochine probably are my favorite ones.

Yes, in Québec she must be known. ^^ And my sister is one of Indochine's fans lol
About the band Air, I've heard that they are known in the United States but, strangely, in France they are not well known. I know little of their music, but I like it.

Amandine, are you a fan of Charlotte Gainsbourg's music by any chance?

No, I'm not a great fan of her music, but I like it... It's ok to listen to, but I won't buy her CDs. In fact I know VERY little of her music. Her new album seems to work very well here.

I'm just a big fan of the number "Songs that we Sing" and i love her (Charlotte Gainsbourg) as Jane in the 1995 film adaptation of Jane Eyre. She was very very good in that role.

I listen to just about everything, from country to classical (even rap). Currently I'm on an Indie kick. Kasabian, Pedro the Lion, and The Decemberists are my favorites. I love Weezer, Beck, and Sublime, too. I am also in love with a Fatboy Slim song right now that I listen to several times a day.
