Cannes

Enjoy the Trip! That area is so beautiful. BTW…the McDonalds is at the far end – down by the Convention Center… :grin:

You’re really excited, aren’t you? I sure would be. Happy for you, Marina. Have a blast!

If you can think of some interesting questions to ask any of them, please write them in the comments below and I’ll ask them as a question from you!

:lol: Have you seen Slumdog Millionaire :?:

Wonderful and more…thanks

:smile: Actually, I would love to ask director Sam Raimi :arrow:
What horror movie/s, if any, did you see as a kid that really freaked you out :?:

[musket-tears]

:grin: I would love to ask director Pedro Almodovar if he ever had a crush on a teacher :!:

:smile: I want to interview Brad Pitt and ask him a bunch of questions. Brad, did you ever pull a prank on George Clooney :?: (lol)

:-) Are the people associated with the movies? :lol: Ask what is thier favorite color? Ask if they flavor the water to drink and what kind of bath soap do they use? :razz: If they wanna drag me to hell, can we stop for heaven?…”DRAG ME TO HELL”, is it with queens or what the hell?

…point blank MARINA…have fun and ask funny questions…Do you cook your wheat?…best of luck..(french fries)

… :razz: good night ya’ll :roll:

Aww you take off right when I get my first word question [Windfall] if you missed it… you know… lots of those actors and directors have had a few windfalls, maybe you can ask them about theirs!

Either way, have fun Marina!

Dear Marina,
A question you might ask all the actors and actresses you meet is whether they use the Internet to help their acting careers. Do they run their own webpage? Or, do they have a professional manage their webpage? Do they use Twitterr? What about Facebook or MySpace or other free sites?
You might also ask if they think movies over the Internet will be “normal”, someday? :razz:
Seesixcm6

You could ask Rachel Weisz why she didn’t appear in the third installment of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. That film would’ve been a box office smash had she accepted the role of Evelyn IMHO.

Does “Inglorious Basters” have to do with people cooking turkeys? :wink:

I dare you ask Mike Myers, “Do I make you horny baby…do I?”
I’d also like you to ask the owner of that fine boat what one needs to do for work to buy a boat like that? …because I need to start learning how to do it! :mrgreen:
Its not the same dudes that were in the Bentley, is it? I’ll frickin die if it is! :eek:
I double dare you to Ask Brad Pitt if his role in “True Romance” was more at the beginning or towards the end of his career. :razz:
Ask Quentin anything! Thats one crazy cat!
Don’t ask Sam Jackson anything.
Ask Penelope what kind of shampoo she uses.
Ask Emile Hirsch how much weight he lost, from beginning to end, while shooting “into the wild”. E not Y unless I’ve found myself lost once again. :roll:

I would like to ask what is a film festival? How does this festival compare to other film festivals in many cities. I ask this for many many people may not have a clue of the purpose or advantages of a film festival.

Students: Please don’t address your answers to me but to the general student body, for I have been to 2 little festivals myself.

Marina… ask them if they know some of the fun origins of words.
You know, like a word game. You’re good at those.
In any case, whatever questions you decide to ask, bring it back home with a word game. Remember you’re not a reporter there, you’re Hotforwords! :-)

Looking forward to your tweets. (even though someone said that the only thing worst than not being there, is watching it unfold live on Twitter)
Have a great time, and know that we’ll be right behind you for support.

Try to be seated on the left side of the plane flying into Nice…you can see the whole coastline as you approach…just fabulous!!!! I’m jealous…

Marina, that’s awesome that you
are doing the interviews.
For sure, ask each person if they
ever go to YouTube and if they
say yes, ask who is their favorite
YouTuber.

Ask them if they have heard of
HotForWords, and if they say no,
kick them in the shins. :-)
And then, make them subscribe
on the spot. Tell em it’s for a good cause.
I think you can have a blast with
asking some hilarious questions.
More later…

YOU GP, can’t think of a question for her to ask Karl Urban?!?!?!?! :shock: :roll: :grin:

Have fun in Cannes.

Any celebrity interview would be fun. Talk to whomever you can. Enjoy and don’t get sunburned.

@darlingj

Ha, you got me on that good :!:

Did you get hit on often by sexy actresses on the set as Dr. McCoy :?:
:lol:

I could come up with questions for everyone on that list I just didn’t want to get too carried away :oops:

:lol: I’d love to ask Penelope Cruz some questions. My first question would be “Would you be so kind as to sit on my lap, I feel more comfortable asking attractive women such as yourself titilating questions when my lap has warmed up some.”

Where is Cannes at again? I think the Sundance Film Festival is Utah, Colorado, or someplace with Robert Redford. I don’t know much difference between these festivals and award shows. Hell, I never even heard of most of the movies listed above.
I probably should start watching TV again, but being on the computer has been nice and quiet. It’s been months since I went to see a movie or go out and rent one.
You know, I think I’ve seen most of the actresses above naked in some form or another. But I think it is about time Kelli Garner should at least once have a topless scene instead of a bottomless scene, like she did in the sequel to Havoc. (I mean it was no problem for Anne Hathaway in the first one) :roll:

Taking Woodstock……. I’ve got plenty of “wood” to stock! :mrgreen: (I don’t even know if that unintentionally sounds gay or not)

I’m a fan of Army Of Darkness (3rd) as well as the 2nd installment of the Evil Dead series.
Seems like his brother Ted Raimi and Bruce Campbell work well together in a few of Bruce’s movies. I should go out and watch My Name Is Bruce sometime. :mrgreen:

Now, now, Chemikal! Move back a bit and put your support back in your pockets. :razz: :lol:

It seems you already have fans on the Riviera, Marina.
This yacht is even named after you; The “Lady Marina” in Monaco harbour.

Marina Baie des Anges, seen from aircraft landing at Nice, Côte d’Azure.

In a line of similar thinking as Captain Jack below,
what is [film]?

I find it interesting that we cling to the old comfortable warm and fuzzy words and phrases like; “… stay tuned for film at 11″ when there is no film or “…we’re going to tape the show”, when there is no tape.

Many local theaters have closed their doors not only because of the economy and home theater, but the video revolution on the Internet. It looks like a new set of words are in order. I wonder when the 35 / 70 mm celluloid film stock becomes obsolete?

you might want to figure out how to pronounce Cannes in french–there is also Caen and Can like soda can. also…if you say merci beacoup properely it means thank-you…but slightly off it means thanks nice ass. :razz:

So, Marina, are you going to visit the
technopolis of Sophia Antipolis
that lies in the hills beyond Cannes?

Then you might want to return there as there is a television festival in the last week in September.

Ask the stars how technical hands-on they are and if any of them consider themselves as geeks.

Also ask if anyone knows the origin and meaning
of the word Cannes.

Also, touch on some of the most commonly heard
words associated with that region which most of us
are familiar with, but may not know the origin of or
what these words mean. Dictionary girl to the rescue.

For example:
- Is Nice nice?
- Côte d’Azur
- Riviera
- Mediterranean
- Villa (I can see some pronunciation bloopers coming up)
- Film Festival Jury / Juries
- L’Oréal (a sponsor) – and yes, you are worth it. :grin:
- Palme d’Or
- The Marché du Film
- Grand Prix
- Cinéfondation
- The Atelier

…but Suzi Q said she should Can the Cannes

I had heard when “Kill Bill Part II” came out that Tarantino was working on an epic war movie. Is this it? I haven’t seen anything of his since his “Grindhouse” stuff with Robert Rodriguez. His movies are great plus he ALWAYS has a kick-ass soundtrack.
Mike Myers in a Tarantino movie is gonna be awesome. AND Samuel Jackson. That is a combo I GOT to see! Myers will break into The Fat Bastard and SLJ will start yelling something about a snake or a shark and probably shoot him. And at least 5 other people. Brad Pitt will be off eating a sandwich. That guy eats more on screen than anybody I’ve ever seen!

That should be some movie. I’ve never seen Schreiber in anything funny(I see him and think,’serial killer’) and I’ve never seen Levy in anything serious. Remember him on ’2nd city television’ way back in the day?

For the dancers…Suzi Quatro – Can The Can…or hot rock…of…mesmorizing words…ask if acting is unbegotten? Who gets bribed the most? :lol:

Ha! Beat you to it by 10 mins :P :smile:

SUZI Q

[Questions for Mike Myers or Quentin Tarantino]

Q1 (Quentin Tarantino): Discover if there’s any commonality between the words Tarantula, Tarantella, Tarantism and his surname Tarantino.

[Tarantula, Tarantella, Tarantism, Tarantino].

Q2 (Mike Myers): Austin Powers is practically synonymous with the words [mojo], [randy], and/or horny. Explain their origins to him and then invite his opinion.

Q3 (Mike Myers or Quentin Tarantino): What is the story behind the name General Ed Fenech, and the Italian sex comedy actress Edwige Fenech?

Q4 (Mike Myers): Mike’s role as General Ed Fenech is quite a departure from his usual comedic roles (such as Austin Powers, Wayne’s World or Shrek). What does he think or feel about taking on a more serious role?

I don’t use twitter – but I’ll keep an eye on the twitter widget or forum.

 
Marina, if you get a chance to talk to Brad Pitt,
could you ask him the following questions:

Despite the various controversies, I personally had a connection with his character in the movie “Seven Years in Tibet” (1997) and it is one of my favorite movies.

Q1. What did he like about the movie and what is a memorable part about the movie that affected him, if anything? Any regrets or things he would have done differently?

Q2. Has he ever visited Tibet or been to Lhasa. I’m aware of some secret filming in Tibet.

Q3. Has he ever met with the current, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama?

Q4. Besides Angelina Jolie, has the movie “Seven Years in Tibet” or any of his other movies contributed to his interest in social issues in various parts of the world?

Thank you in advance.

I miss the ocean and boating. Ask if they need a deck hand. I’ll take the first flight out. Shoot! I don’t have a passport. Does one need a passport on the high seas? Arrggh! The spelling of the word [yacht] really bugs me. What is its origin?

This is an excellent opportunity for you to sign up for Twitter.

You’re on the computer anyhow just open one more tab.

There is a lot of good information being broadcast on Twitter as well as entertainment.

You got nothing to lose and friends to gain. I’ll guide you through to help get you started.

In 1717, my forefather came to America in a sailing ship half the size of the pleasure yacht. My wife’s grandmother came to America in the belly of a ship in the early 1900′s sick from pregnancy. She was lucky she was not deported immediately, as anyone sick was thought to be a public hazard.

Marina, you are so fortunate to arrive on a jet liner, then a couple years later, join the jet-set in Caan. Jealous? No! I’m happy for successes born in America, land of opportunity.

If you get anyone one (maybe more) of these people to say jamesingtonthethird I will buy you all the godiva chocolates you want, when you want.

Answering my own question about the word yacht:
Look up yacht at Dictionary.com
1557, yeaghe “a light, fast-sailing ship,” probably from Norw. jaght, from M.L.G. jacht, shortened form of jachtschip “fast pirate ship,” lit. “ship for chasing,” from jacht “chase,” from jagen “to chase, hunt,” from O.H.G. jagon, from P.Gmc. *jagojanan.

Hanging with pirates, eh? Argh! Ahoy!

Yes, there needs to be a new name but with so many digital formats it’s kind of hard to put a name to it. Brand names are sort of taking that slot. For example I hear, “I’m going to twitter that.” “Skype me later.” “Did you see my YouTube of that crash?”

Why do we still use terms like ‘film’ & ‘tape’? It take a generation to change the use of those words. You have to look at the age of the people in the media using the term ‘film at 11′ When someone takes that position then you might see them suggest a new term. Until that day comes we will keep seeing the use of these words obsolete words.

Yes, you do need a passport if you want to make it back to [land fall]. It’s a different world now days with DHS. I see someday passports will evolve into a federal ID card. One card used for everything.

I think I covered that word in a comment many moons ago. I don’t think Marina ever verified my data. So here it is again.

Yacht: Originally a light fast sailing-ship used to convey important persons; later , any vessel other than a dinghy propelled by sail or power and used for pleasure cruising and/or racing. (Note: Yachtsmen or yachtswomen never call their own boats ‘yachts’. Can you guess why?) A yachtsman is one who owns or sails a yacht.

Yacht comes from the early modern Dutch ‘jaght(e)’, now ‘jacht’, literally a ship for chasing, a light, fast, and possibly piratical vessel, from ‘jagen’, to chase or hunt.
(I’m a bit interested in why they think it came from piratical ships.)
First documented use of the word was back in 1557 in The Voyage of Stephen Burrough.

When I worked on the Battleship USS Missouri BB-63 we always call it a boat and not a ship. Sometimes I would tell the girls “Hey you want to see my 880 foot yacht? It has big 16 inch 50 guns!”

I still hate this whole twitter thing but is has nearly replaced my personal website. You could think twitter as your own micro blog that people can respond to. Best of all no need to know html coding. :-)

I have a question you can ask Samuel Jackson. Ask him why he never calls me. What’s up with that? Maybe he’s still upset that I haven’t paid him back the money I owed him. :oops:

Excellent, PK! :smile:

Hope you have/ had a safe flight M :) Have fun, working! A busman’s holiday!

Qs’ – to Quentin Tarantino & Mike Myers –

What is the best advice to give a highly imaginative budding script writer, so his treatments or works get noticed by the right people?

What are the qualities as an actor do you look for in particular with a script or about the script writer?

Could you kindly stop looking at Marinas chest for just one moment? (this question is optional)

Will you read my scripts please?

Thank you M,
MX:)

Who’s there?

You think that’s bad… my teeth are worn down to nubs from eating Pecan Sandies.

Jack.

Why DON’T they call it a yacht? You’ve piqued my interest.
Did they ever fire those 16 inchers while you were on “The Big Mo”. I’ve heard they each weigh over 2,000 lbs.

Are you sure he keeps it in his pockets! :mrgreen:

Uh-oh. If I ask for further details, it’s gonna seem like I don’t know Jack. I don’t think I like where this is going. Damn, I just gotta get a peephole installed in this door… Now where did I put that box of shells… Hmm.

Hi Marina!

The yacht looks fabulous! I hope you have a great time there and I’m sure you will outshine the stars!

You could ask the stars of “Taking Woodstock” if they know or knew anyone who was actually at Woodstock in the 1960′s (see this link: http://www.geocities.com/~music-festival/woodstock.htm ).

Lots of hugs,

Heaven here I come

To Samuel L. Jackson, Can you get the mudda f*ckin’ snakes off the yacht? :mrgreen:

Spoilsport. :grin:

Well, where do you put your hands? :grin:

Jack who?

Relax. Some sucker will answer. Oh, uh… Hi, Che! Didn’t see you there.

I am teetering on the edge of twitterdom, but I am a founder member of a profound and secretive organisation opposing Twitter for the benefit of the human race.

See how dangerous it is? Even though you hate it, it’s running amok on your website, mutating and taking it over like a triffid. :???: :wink:

I guess if you’re doing things that people are interested in then perhaps it’s good. On the other hand, use it as a tool to make followers inadvertently green-eyed.

Knowing women, I’m really glad right now that I’m not the one who needs to move her luggage around for this trip… :grin:

Etymological / genealogical note:

[yacht] would thus be related to such Dutch surnames as [de Jager] and the anglicized [Yeager], meaning “the Hunter,” common up in the Skagit / Whatcom region of northwest Washington where the Dutch settled heavily in the past century. :smile:

(Skagit County is allegedly the only region in the world that exports tulip bulbs to the Netherlands.) :cool:

[Jager] is also a kind of seagull.

If you run into Sean Penn, ask him why he is such a stupid anti american asshole.

Thanks,

Your fondest student,

Kevin

Ask about the sky…Carla Bruni – Comme si de rien n’était – Nouvel album – Groland…France is Grand :lol:

Ask Brad Pitt if the motorcycle he was seen riding around in “Benjamin Button” was HIS actual bike.

I just have one question for Mademoiselle Marina… If, while over in France, you fall in love with the country and it’s culture, will that make you a Francophilologist? :wink:

Sean Penn isn’t anti-American. It’s his right to criticize the government and his fellow Americans. That’s what makes this country great. Agree to disagree, like a mature adult. Getting all bent out of shape over a stupid celebrity is silly. Sure, Sean Penn is a bit of an a-hole, but, hey, he’s a good actor… it all kind of balances out. It’s a free country, and free speech is his right. Like it or not, Sean Penn is your fellow American, entitled to his views. The logic is simple. If Sean Penn is an American, and you are anti Sean Penn, then you are being anti-American in a way too. I don’t buy into divisive politics. Do you?

I’m actually a friend of Michael Penn, Sean’s brother. They are both what would be termed ‘Malibu liberals’. Not particularly my political stance at all, but a lot of times a person’s politics comes from where they grew up and to what type of parents. People are what they are, and Sean Penn’s politics aren’t going to change. I wouldn’t let it get to you. He certainly doesn’t care.

Besides, this isn’t a political site, albeit one that draws some of it’s fanbase from the O’Reilly Factor. Save the anti-liberal stuff for some other website. Philology is fun… politics is full of hysteria and hate. I’m sure you could think of a better question for Marina than that. Then again, it is a free country, so express your disgust with Sean Penn if you must. It’s not going to earn you many points around here, though.

QUESTION FOR STARS: What makes you “Hot for Words” when you read a movie script for the first time? What makes you interested in a script for a visual medium like cinema- compared to what makes you Hot for reading about characters in a good book?

MARINA PERFUME:
About 15km inland from Cannes is the village of Grasse, perfume capital of the world (because of the perfect local climate and soil for growing perfume botanicals and the proximity of the port of Nice which gave the perfumiers acces to African spices to form the “base note” of both mens and women’s fragrances.) All the Parisian coutour houses use Grasse masters to custom-design their house brands!

For you, I suggest the fragrance MIRANDA by the custom house Fragonard. The scent is like you… a smart but clearly happy bouquet in the high-note botanicals and a smoky mystery in the base note. Last September when I was test driving Ferraris over there I took my date to Fragonard for a tour. We popped up there in a miniCooper and had a blast! If you’re stuck on that boat- darn- get ashore and you’ll easily find a fragrance house that sells Fragonard. I think Miranda would be exquisite on you! Whomever can afford the rent on that yacht can afford to buy you a bottle (which comes in aluminum so that UV light doesn’t break down the scent). This is the best perfume in the world and you deserve it!
Au Revoir!

I do not really care what anyone’s political views are, but it does bother me when celebrities think their opinions are worth more just because they are celebrities.

I only care about what the master teacher says, no matter what the subject.

Love you Marina

Kevin

I believe she met Sean Penn at a post-Oscar party and was happy to meet him, told him about HotForWords. So I guess that means you’ll be pro Sean Penn now. lol

Unfortunately, I can speak from experience when I say that those in the Penn family do think they are better than others. But that has to do more with narcissism than celebrity.

lol

I have worked with plenty of actors and singers that same thing could be said about.

From the above list, I think that Eugene Levy, Samuel Jackson, and Sam Raimi would be the best interviews.

No offence Errin but I don’t think Mr Penn is a particularly good actor, which I guess, tips the balance back!! :grin:

*isn’t, a good actor :)

A general question for anyone: [What exactly does a movie producer do?]

For Brad Pitt or wife: [ Eh, la bas! Where ya at? ]
they will understand this.

signs the checks…forgets to pay…hires accountants…mass media ass-kissers… :lol: blah blah blah…nite

No offense taken. I wouldn’t say he’s the greatest actor in my book, but he certainly hasn’t had his success through his bubbly personality. If Sean Penn wasn’t a good actor, I don’t think most people would put up with him. He certainly had to choose a very political role to win the Oscar last time around.

INGLORIOUS BASTERS – The true story of turkey basters who refused to accept the glory their profession brought them.

I don’t know why, but I’m really good at spotting Marina’s typos or deliberate wordplay. I think this one is a typo. The last one I caught, which was her offering ‘singed’ photos of herself, was a play on words.

OOhhh ohh!! I have one for Senor Pedro Almodovar. Does he see in the future creating a factual movie on the Holy Roman Empire or the Spanish conquest? :grin: :mrgreen: Gracias Hermosa! :cool:

i agree errin proof of a bad repulican! :lol:

Mind you, I don’t agree with Penn, but he is a leftist, and the sentiment there is
that nationalism is harmful to mankind. As a centrist, I understand this, as wars between countries certainly does create massive suffering. He is also concerned about regional cultures that are threatened by free trade. Again, this is understandable. There are valid arguments for and against these stances. He’s not stupid. I don’t know if he’s an asshole or not, as it probably depends on your point of view. It’s better not to throw around those kinds of labels. Politics is like music, different strokes for different folks.

The above message was intended as a response to kjohn50083 about Sean Penn. Somehow it ended up as a comment for Marina.

It’s because they would appear to be ‘snobbish’. You can call your friends boat a yacht but you never call your own boat a yacht. I think times have changed and we need to call ‘pleasure crafts’ – ‘yachts’ it’s easier to say.

Yes! I’ve watch them fired many times and I also had the chance to fire one of the guns many times. Yes the shells weigh over 2,000 lbs. It’s like shooting a Volkswagen 20+ miles and landing on a target the size of a baseball field. All this is done with a mechanical computer, eyes, and radar. This is all 1940′s technology. As a back up we had Tomahawk missiles to pick up the slack. :-)

So I did all that work for no reason. Geee… :roll:

Those puns were criminal but I promise not to Grasse on you.
Do you think M will be wearing her blue jacket on the Côte d’Azure?
I expect Gorby is already missing his mistress – “Life’s a Bichon!”
…unless he’s fawning over his dog-sitter, in which case “Life’s a Biche”. :grin:

Marina, are you sure it’s a 195 ft yacht. It looks rather small for 195 feet. I drove a 130 footer. Looking at the photo I don’t thing it’s even close to a 200 footer. By the looks of the back door it’s not very beamy for 195ft. It would be a bit too rolly. Maybe it’s like a Sunseeker 120′ or 130′? :smile:

I was informed that it is 195′ I’ll get you more info when I get on the boat.

Wow.. I just cut and pasted the list. I have now fixed it. If you Google INGLORIOUS BASTERS it comes up quite a bit!

Just shoot of Marina an email and she’ll fix it. I see mistakes all the time but I don’t really care anymore. I know what she meant and not what she typed. Perfections adds flavor. Heck if you read my last two post, you’ll see at least 2 misspelled words. I purposely left them like that. Trying to break my habit of being a perfectionist.

Even Basterds is a weird word… but seems to be the correct one.

I’m really enjoying FriendFeed.com over twitter. Friend Feed doesn’t have the limitation that twitter does. It’s only flaw is no one knows what Friend Feed is.

Yes if people are interested in it then it’s a good thing. As the old saying goes, Content it king.

Did you know twitter has saved many lives? Even Demi Moore saved a woman’s life recently.

Like Ieonard said. They are the money bags.

I’m excited you’re going to visit the yacht. Hope they let you spend the night on it. I love getting up in the morning and saying to myself, “Hey, I’m on a boat!” as I sip my tea. You know after many years living on boats I thought it would get old by now. Maybe it’s because I know I’m floating above the fishes. :smile:

Is there any connection between Bastards and Retards? Sorry, not PC. :grin:

Looks like a stretched version of the CODECASA 41 s
. Very similar lines but without the flybridge and plungepool. 41 meters is 135 feet.

The lines match very well. There are so many builders out there and it would take for ever to guess. Marina will find out details later :-) I bet she has that song “I’m on a boat!” loaded on her iphone. I like Wills parody better though. ;-)

Wow, you’re commenting at the same time as me.. Ok well it looks like your on top of it. I’ll go to bed now if that’s ok with you? g’night. :cool:

Just got home from a late night out (too late!), and was emailing a friend when I noticed the comments over this.

I don’t point these things out to be perfectionist, mocking, or condescending… I point them out because I notice them, and feel it is my duty as a good student here to point them out to Marina, and I usually do it in a fun or funny way. I only do it so she can constructively fix any typo and therefore present things all the better and clearer to her fans here. Shooting her an email doesn’t seem to work as quickly as leaving a comment.

Okay, bedtime for me back here in L.A. Hope our trusty teacher has a fantastic time in France. Peace, Errin : )

I am Sailing. I am Flying.

Hawk eye Errin,

Yes, she tends to read her blog often. I think it’s easier than opening up all her emails. You can always shoot me a message. I can expedite a typo repair.

Well it’s way past my bedtime here in Seattle. I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Bob! Have Marseille on us! :mrgreen:

Can-Can :grin:

Even weirder (and funnier):

Welsh Baaa-studs (forgive us, Tchaikovsky!) :grin:

Im quite good at noticing typos. but I never noticed the singed one lol

Since M. says “French language is so sexy,” may I point out that Errin’s is what Shakespeare called a sauf votre honneur (“save your honour”) correction. In Henry V, Act 3, Scene 4, Alice, handmaiden of Katherine, the French princess, coaches the princess on her English, saying “save your honor” with each correction — emphasizing that her aim is to help perfect her mistress’s abilities. :cool:

Re: genealogy, I remembered that I am descended from a woman named Thankful Shippee, c. 1700s and possibly Thanklord Sheppe, c. 1500s. The name is listed as Dutch and English. Presumably the trail gets cold. I imagine in those days, you would be especially Thankful for a safe crossing.

They do need to make getting a passport easier to get and less costly. While I appreciate living in the land of the free, I don’t like feeling trapped and not able to cross into Canada or Mexico like back in the day.

I appreciate the comments, Cap’n. I’ll bet the connection between pirates and fast is because the pirates appreciated a fast boat, similar to the “cigarette boats” of the Prohibition Era. My brother sank a 28′ Cigarette in 28′ of water.

:smile:

*****BLOOD OF CORTES*!*(1485-1547)*!* is ALIVE*****What was the re-named(christian) of “Indian”(Mayan)” maiden who aided brother Hernando?….answer is MARINA…*****10*****

…brother CORT’ES died in Spain, neglected by the court. :evil: :sad: :mad: :shock:

I was thinking bout a more modern version. Did you get that fact of Cortes death in Spain from the movie too? Since he died in Mexico and was order to execution in Europe for crimes against the King of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor? :mrgreen: :roll:

:cool: Marina is in Nice :!: I hope you have a nice time in Nice :!: :mrgreen:

Um, I think a “Francophilologist” would be specifically one who studies the French language. A “Francophile” would be one who loves France.

Oh wait, you were being funny. Sorry, I’m a bit dense at times… :roll:

Marina, si vous pense que le francais est “sexy”, peut-etre c’est meilleur que je vous ecrive dans francais, oui? :grin:

Hi Bob,

Speaking of France, here’s a story I heard at a Welsh noson lawen (“merry evening”):

While vacationing in Paris, the Welshman Arthur Jenkins stepped into his hotel room bathtub, slipped on a bar of soap, fell, hit his head, and knocked himself out cold.

Hours later, he began to awake. First, he was aware of the throbbing pain in his head; next, that the water had gone cold; then, as he pried open his eyes, that a very worried-looking French hotel maid was staring at him.

Wanting to explain, but forgetting all his French in his dazed state of mind, Arthur could only mumble the Welsh word for soap: “Sebon! Sebon!”

Whereupon the maid brightened up, gave Arthur’s physical attributes an appreciative glance, and replied, “Non, monsieur! C’est magnifique!” :mrgreen:

Think you have it bad? I have to get this TWIC bio-metric card that is basically has the same data as a passport. It cost $132.00 bucks and it’s a pain in the butt to get. The funny thing is our MMD card is basically the same thing other than it shows my USCG licenses and endorsements. It also cost about $100 bucks. There is talk about combining the two documents but not happing anytime soon. Now I have to have these documents just to work in my industry even if I don’t leave the country.

We live in a new world of home land security. :roll:

Marina, please tell us you will be wearing that burgundy dress for one of your videos. So hot :!:

I really don’t think it was the case back then as it is today. Back in the tall ship days they just parked in the shipping routes and waited for the ships to come in. There really wasn’t that much of a speed difference from one tall ship and the other. We are talking about ships that go about 10 mile per hour in brisk winds. The key was to intercept taking a shorter route or just waiting. Some pirates were paid by governments to take over ships. They are called privateers. Yes! legal in a sense that they were hired to go after enemy ships not to sink them but to capture and seize the loot. As you can see it was very lucrative for a government to do this. Many privateer ships fell out good graces and became pirate ships, even attacking the ships from the countries that hired them in the first place.

I see you’re now in Nice. The city of Nice is OK-but not great (art museums maybe and be careful being around the Promenade Des Anglais, weekend hookers). The “real action” this weekend- better than Cannes in my opinion- is in Monaco (you’ll do well at the American Bar, Hotel de Paris Monte Carlo) and the Grand Prix crowd. The artist Renoir’s home above Villenueve Loubet is a nice meditative visit. I told you about Grasse already. The old village if Eze is a great visit for old architecture. Tina Turner lives up that way. The town square of Antibes has a great sidewalk restaurant (on the north) in a hotel, featuring the local cuisine, Provence Maritine. In Antibes you’re half-way from Nice to Cannes (which is a pretty boring drive). I thought my suggestion for an interview (below) with anybody in film who looks at scripts and makes decisions- from producer to actor- would be good branding for Hot For Words. Good luck
Au Revoir

PS: have fun at the Belvedere Vodka party for Quentin Tarantino and Paris Hilton. Asking QT what makes him “Hot for Words” in a good script would be an interesting interview….Hilton? No thanks. The French vodka, Gray Goose, is superior to Belvedere.

I think it’s a Burgess, out of Monaco

Moynf! Thanks Evan, that is freakin’ hilarious!

:shock: You killed Kenny! YOU BASTERS!

I sense a business opportunity, Captain. With the pirates playing hide and seek, why doesn’t an outfit like Blackwater play the same game? One could park a mother ship capable of launching and landing drones to scout the region, then launch attack boats if need be. Bureaucracies move too slowly for me.

Re: licenses, I passed the Coast Guard Auxiliary coarse. Does that count for anything? :lol:

The boat is “Pure One”.
Its beam is 152′ and charter rates start at $290,000/ week:

http://www.internationalyachtchartergroup.com/yacht-details/pureone152

Bon Voyage!
(believe me, with a shot of Fragonard’s MIRANDA on your throat, you’ll OWN this boat’s 8 man crew and 10 guests :-) Anything but the smell of Nice, the Cannes Festival and the briney deep!

I usually keep them hanging from my torso! :-)

I agree…well wrote :smile:

Beam is width. The waterline LENGTH is 152 feet. (we don’t do much sailing in Wyoming)

I can see myself turning into another Alex Jones. :smile: I can imagine him saying “Twitter is getting people adjusted to a big brother surveillance society”. :shock: Only, he uses it too. :???:

I’ll check out Demi Moore later. Although, I can’t see how it can save lives though. If I decided to end it all, I wouldn’t tweet the fact. My cousin (a police sergeant) saved someone who actually jumped from a high building. She caught the person, although she broke her own arm in the process. She said, if someone really wants to commit suicide, nothing would stop that person. All the rest is craving the sympathy and attention they need.

Don’t forget my interrogation questions Marina! I recommend keelhauling them to loosen their tongues. :grin:

First off it’s much more complicated than that. Also it’s not very viable business. The best solution that the industry has come up with is picking up armed guards when they pass customs then dropping them off when they are out of danger. Carrying armed guards 24/7 will not work. The delays in customs would increase cost of products you buy. Your idea will not sit well with the United Nations.

Your USCGA course… Does your drivers license qualify you to drive a limo for hire or a taxi service? No.. You need a CDL.

Dearest Marina :shock:
that dress fits real good :oops:
enjoy dindin :cool: & have a great time :lol:
:smile: B.B. :cool:

Well if we had more of a “big brother surveillance society” there might be less child abductions, less theft, more accountability in our society. Back in years ago when I was a little boy I remember I couldn’t do anything without some one telling my mom. I guess this brings to front the saying “It takes a village to raise a child” to a new level. We as a society have enclosed ourselves in these little boxes and it’s taken us way from socializing that we used to do in the past. Have you ever wondered why they invented porches on houses? It was to bring the living room out to the front of the house so it would be easier to socialize with your neighbors.

I completely disagree with you about if someone is going to commit suicide there is not thing than can change that. I’ve talked many out of it. I also have failed with some. I’m not a professional at this type of social work but I do have a certificate in suicide intervention. Even gave a little speech about it. Your right that many are cries for attention but it also says why are they crying for this attention? May it be we are contributors of this problem. I look at it this way. Everyone is important. We need to quit being so obsessed with our own pleasure to the point we ignore the people around us. If we are not going to get off our computers and socialize with people then we might as well socialize online with whatever tool we have at out disposal. I’ve already helped on person on twitter. Though it would be much easier for me to do this face to face. I would rather do it in person for type word lack body/face language. I see twitter to risky in more concerned cases.

Brad would be smoking, if they’d let him – heh heh! :mrgreen:

Would you please ask Eugene Levy if he would do a guest appearance on HOTFORWORDS doing his Bobby Bittman routine from SCTV… (Second City Television comedy show). I think he would be a very entertaining guest… just have to write up a funny script… maybe something to do with the etymological history of funny sounding words of Jewish/Hebrew origin. :mrgreen: He is a very funny actor from Canada and does great celebrity impersonations. :mrgreen:

WOW! HOLY MACKEREL! :shock:

 
Marina, if you could corner Quentin Tarantino for about 10-30 minutes, I think that would be a great interview. I’ve seen maybe one or two interviews a few years back.

When I first saw Pulp Fiction many years ago, I had several sagacious and serendipitous experiences during that week.

1. Ask him about his name, what it means.

2. Ask him what possessed him to make Pulp Fiction which is now a classic.

3. Ask him what makes him tick. His films are so unusual and I seem to have an almost out of body experience when viewing them.

4. How does he see himself versus how the critics see him? What are his pet peeves, his likes. One of Quentin’s top films is “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”, which is also one of my top favorite films.

5. Ask him if he would cast you in a bad-ass heroine role. Ask him to make a film totally written with you in mind. Maybe you have an idea for a script. I would love to see you team up with him and make the quintessential movie of all time.

Then, make sure to direct the director Quentin, and tell him when the camera is on you, you get to look straight at the camera and look into my eyes like you always do. I love that when you do that.

6. Ask Quentin what he thinks of YouTube and the future of movie making and the small screen, home theater and so on.

                   ~ ~ ~

 
Oh, Marina, when Tarantino decides to make a movie with you playing the leading role as bad-ass heroine, tell him that I am available to play the leading romantic role opposite the heroine, which would be you of course. I heard that Brad Pitt won’t be available for that movie.

If you think this is all make believe, well, movies are real aren’t they and life is just one big Fantasy. <– Oh, when you watch this video, don’t worry about the title. It’s not the wrong video. You have to watch it all the way to the end. AND, I dare you to keep your eyes glued to Marina’s eyes. Fantastic, huh?

Gee, it’s just another splendid 20degreeC day along the Cote d’Azur! WEBCAMS:
http://www.webcamgalore.com/EN/webcam-map/France/Cannes/city-237.html

At sunset, be sure to see the coast with the light BEHIND you at Fort Carre/Antibes (the best view of the coast and why they put a fort there in the 16th Century) or really anywhere from Villeneuve Loubet or Cagnes sur Mer toward Nice. The cyan color is the namesake of the Azure Coast and is “extraordinaire”-but only THE BEST with the light behind you in late afternoon or close to sunset.

Good find, wyo550; that’s certainly the one, pure or not. :smile:

That looks like the “Pure One” on the left of the webcam picture. Smile, Marina, you’re on candid camera. :lol:
Too bad the Cannes webcam is not HD like the one in Nice.

Very jolly, but do you know why the [Cancan] was regarded as such a scandalous display when it originally appeared?
I don’t know how true it is, but I have been told it was because the dancing girls did not wear underwear. :shock:

:shock: If that’s true, I’m sure that the voyeurs were Offenbach. :mrgreen:

I appreciate your response regarding anti-pirate measures and I appreciate the Coast Guard’s responsibilities and mission. It is an increasingly tougher job.

Regarding my USCGA course, the dead reckoning navigation education came in handy more than a few times. My dad and I attempted the coarse three different years, as it was only offered once a year. Dad was an impatient businessman and lost interest halfway through. Only when I was 16 years old when I could drive myself to the classes, was I able to finish the work. The coarse was usually held once a year in dark, dreary, snowy Winter.

Is this coarse and others offered online? The many like-minded boaters similar to my dad would be able to learn when they can.

Speaking of boats, thought you might be interested in Noah’s issues building the Ark.

Marina, I have having the log in issue again, I cleared my cookies but, as usual I cant type in on the latest lesson. Another thing, when ever I used to come on, I would automatically be signed in and now i’m not, (same on youtube) do you know what it could be that’s doing this?

Thanks and good thinking—wyo550 :idea: …You ever work with Iggy?Iggy Pop – New album Preliminaires (trailer)
:smile:

…Hey MARINA…jazz over-tones…FRENCH**#**[JAZZ]

..thanks all(white dog) of iggy :wink:

Tre Bien Merci for that cool link to IP. I’m going to look for that new album of his!

The USCG has nothing to do with piracy. It the US Navy and a few other countries that are involved.

Most (courses) are offered in the winter months for most people are out boating during the summer.

Yes there is a similar (course) you can take online. Just go to the right side of my website main page and there is a tall banner for getting your boaters safety (course). After he complete the (course) he can get a card that would be accepted for complying with new boater education state law.

I liked the funny Noah story. It has much truth of how much more complicated the world is today. Why is this so? The world is getting a bit over crowded. This is not because there is a lack of land but more like people living too close to each other.

I feel like a Wyoming thread hijacker! This is pretty cool, tracking the weather, geospatial coordinates of a luxury yacht and celebrity events half a world away! Here’s an update on the party Marina went to Friday night at Hotel Le Baron in Cannes for the ENGLISH VODKA (sorry but that may say it all) Belveder: One independent twitter report said that it was 100 degrees in the hotel ballroom, Debbie Harry sang with just a tracking vocal- no band understandably- and everybody had to pay for their own drinks! Make mine a Gray Goose vodka See Voo Play! Thankie!

Sigh… reminds me of the first night I met “Angie” (from the Stones song). She’s retired in Tucson now

Is Dead-Reckoning when you put the sextant on a star at a certain time and measure how far it is from the horizon? Is it true that with a really accurate watch, charts, and a bit of triangulation you can plot yourself to within 100 meters? To think the Phoenicians were using that same method 3000 :?: years ago is amazing.

Dead-reckoning comes from the shortened word Deduced as in Ded-reckoning or De(a)d-reckoning. We just add an (a) to it.
So what does Deduced Reckoning mean? Well I could say “I’m coming over to your house. I reckon it should take me about 6 hours to get there figuring my drive times.” So it’s just an educated guess based on some facts of the speed I’m going to be driving and for how long. You could do the same thing when you plan a family vacation on a road map.
In boat navigation we do the same thing. “I’ll leave the dock at 8:30 am and should be at this buoy at 9:45 am, I Reckon!” We plot this guess on a chart and use the letters “DR” to tell people this is out plan.
Cool hu? Now you know a very basic and important method of navigating. See everyone knows how to navigate a boat, ship, yacht, aircraft carrier. You just need to practice drawing little lines on a chart so you can follow them.

Sextant is still a requirement for captain’s of large ships. Yeah with all this fantastic electronics it’s still on the exams. But they have a point, if all hell goes bad and your bridge computers fry, you’re left with a sextant to get you home. How accurate are they? Well they can get you with in sight of harbor. In the open ocean, who cares if your 100 meters off? There is one more thing you need to make a Sextant work for you. A chronograph. Yes, any old watch will do..hehehh Sextant will tell you how far north or south you are but you would have know idea how far East or West you where. We know that it takes approximately 24 hour for the planet to spin making one day.
So lets say you told me your sextant says your 39º North and the sun was going to rise at 5:30am -5 hour from Zulu time, oh and +1 for DST=-4hours (yeah you can’t forget to include this daylight savings time. I could deduce that you where somewhere around 82º West of Zulu, which puts you in the state of Ohio. Wow! and I didn’t need a GPS!
People were just as smart back then as they were today. We just have better tools today and use our minds less. We all could be as smart as Albert Einstein. We just need to work our minds like an Olympic swimmer would. Albert said there is nothing he does that you or I can’t do. He’s just practice more than you or I have. :-)

I’m not so sure that a Big Brother society is the way. Do you know they even tried to get children to spy on parents? Even if you weigh up the pros and cons, how far will it go; will it lead to a police state? I wonder if they might market, say, implantable ID chips (VeriChip) as a lifesaver in order to manipulate public emotions. Make the public desire it, or feel guilty or ashamed if they don’t. I think that a good, strong and healthy society starts from “within” every individual. In other words, be your own big brother, your own ambassador. Although a certain amount of policing is always required. At the end of the day, we need to strike a balance so ordinary folk don’t have to give up their freedoms in exchange for security. Village life is different because it’s just a natural community driven thing. It’s not enforced or potentially invasive as Big Brother surveillance.

Yes, a committed suicide attempt can be averted which is what my cousin did (Actually, I demoted her; she’s an inspector, not a sergeant). I was talking about the moments just before an imminent jump. Lightning decisions to physically intervene, or carry on negotiating are needed. At the point of the attempt, when the dam breaks, very extreme emotions bulldoze logic, reason, fear and survival instinct (even hearing), and they may no longer be aware of the negotiator. Such a person is likely to jump. I agree that the ones who are really crying out for attention do need attention. I don’t think I ever disputed that though, although I omitted the word, “which” which would have made my meaning clearer.

Yeah, the computer age is a paradox and a distraction. While an avenue of communication has opened up, it also insulates folks from each other. I agree that some people are so wrapped up in themselves; they fail to see what’s going on and ignore their friends so much, they eventually lose those friends

You ad-blocking software. Turn it off and see if it does the same. Has to do with cookies.

My hope is that you are having fun. :smile:

Puzzled as to how you are handling the time-zone; people there don’t wake up at 4 AM on Sunday — or are you going to bed at 5 AM on Sunday? Anyway, your body is taking a beating. When I fly to the East coast (only 3 hours ahead), I can mess with my bio-clock for about 4 days with increasing disorientation — after that I end up too disoriented to function with any effectiveness.

Thanks for the info on Dead-Reckoning! There is another theory on dead reckoning that it comes from dead meaning absolute, complete, utter…. like you get in the expression “dead heat” where two competitors finish at absolutely the same time. Dead reckoning may come from that absolute meaning of dead. But I like your theory as well! :-)

It’s funny how these etymologies are never dead on!

:smile: what about those deadlines? got to get it in on time!
there’s some cool stuff here even though the vid cuts out half way through :arrow:

:cool: thought you would like; What is…Fairytale win for Norway in Eurovision :razz:

Oh oh oh do I sense a challenge? :mrgreen: Can a measly little student/ta put the hammer down. Will Marina get schooled? Stay tuned! :wink:

So the captain pulls out his 1976 copy of Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea by Peter Kemp and blows the dust off. A large dusty cloud appears and make him cough. He read….. OCSS argues that the term arose from the ancient custom of sailors’ calling unknown water ‘dead seas’; but, although the Greeks and Romans gave this name to the Arctic Ocean. Thy also applied it to the Dead Sea, which was not unknown to them. ‘Dead reckoning’ perhaps, owe it’s origin to another overtone of ‘dead’, i.e. unrelieved or absolute, but not to further the sense of ‘accurate’.

Dead reckoning is the estimation of present position by computing speed and direction (also affected by tides and leeway) from a former known position. It’s sometimes suggest that this is a contraction of ‘deduced reckoning’, but the conjecture seems more ingenious that plausible. Although ‘deduced’ in this sense, attested in 1529 predates the first attestation of ‘dead reckoning’.

So Marina, I ask you, am I dead wrong? LOL!

*Oh that was fun! :wink:

lol@CaptainJack

ArrR! “dead reckoning” besides being a navigational term for ships and sailing is also used in the navigational charting for flight :arrow:

Eurovision… a Russian-born fiddler, representing Norway, playing an Irish-sounding tune and singing in English. Hmm…the world is interconnected, but I wonder if we’re losing some of our regional character or integrity in the process. :???:

I liked the Eurovision performance of Voda — definitely a modern number, drumming worthy of an American rock-n-roller, but still so distinctively Bulgarian that it couldn’t be from anywhere else. :cool:

 
Hey Evan, that Voda performance is awesome. Man is that ever energizing. I haven’t gone through all of the EuroVision performances yet. I was going to watch the finals live and had the player installed, but never saw it. I did see the Norway winners.

:smile: I’d want to ask director Quentin Tarantino a bunch of questions too, such as:

Where do you see independent film going in the next 5 years?

Didn’t you get commisioned to work on a Dario Argento project, like wtf happened? I was hoping that was going to roll.

Would you be interested in working with writer/director Yoshihiro Hoshino?

When you visit Japan do you take out time to explore your “kinky” interests?

Marina, I just spotted your tweet that you danced with Quentin Tarantino – was it the Italian Tarantella dance by any chance? :wink:

I’m itching to know if you quizzed him about his surname I asked earlier. PedanticKarl is interested in his name too. Could there be a common link between his surname, Tarantino, the tarantula wolf spider, tarantism (Did he bite you?) and the tarantella dance?

Also, what’s the story behind the name General Ed Fenech (Mike Myers), and the Italian sex comedy actress Edwige Fenech?

My other questions are here

Three question for you Marina,
1) Did Quentin bite you?
2) if yes, did you contract tarantism?
3) Did you give his socks back?

Hey Errin, would have got back to you sooner but friend pulled her last boner spanking her 1100cc bike into a tree so been slightly distracted last few days.

Anyhoo, gave thought to Mr P, watched a couple of vids, thought some more. Couldn’t put my finger on it until, maybe, feel Mr P hasn’t been put in the right mix or wrong timing. I would now say he is a good actor, so thanks for making re think this, but I still just don’t gel with his works. I will watch some more as maybe I am missing something! (Must be good, as talking about him!!)

M

I wonder how Marina is doing on the S.S. YachtForWords… :lol: Since her name means ‘mermaid’, I’m guessing she’s right at home.

… know that we’ll be right behind you for support.

:razz: work :mrgreen: Soul much excitement*!*…Soeur Sourire …[french-kiss]

FOR Marina…theDancing Queen…twitter on baby :lol:

Soeur Sourire plays and sings / Dominique (1963)Dominique hit number one in many hit charts in 1963, in her own version as well as in other languages. Hollywood made a quasi-biography about her, starring Debbie Reynolds.

good one… :!: keep that hand out of the pocket :roll:

Awesome!
That’s pretty good support… :mrgreen:

Has everyone gone [ga-ga]? Make sure that when you go to the next movie, you buy an extra box of popcorn; somebody has to pay for all this nonsense.

But CK, these boats are not soft and micro, to say the least. They are as hard as iron and steel. Yes, hard fruits of a man’s desire for comfort they are… The SUVs of the seven seas, shall I say, to say the least. Can you even start to imagine how many galleons of fuel they consume while they’re burning their way from zero to 15 knots?

Leonard’s Dancing Queen choice is perfect! Thanks, The special meaning for me is that when I was on the Cote dAzur for the first time myself last September, an ABBA tribute band was playing a private party in the Hotel de Paris, across the street from the Casino Monte Carlo. THAT is where I hope someone dances with Marina, in the hotel’s Bar American.

The Monaco Grand Prix is this Sunday and she and her boat’s sponsor, NEUROBRANDS of Los Angeles, should get Marina into the harbor of Monaco and ashore…right near the paddocks and the club headquarters of the Monaco Auto Club! Marina could meet Prince Albert and Richard Branson and get a bottle of the water-whatever that Neurobrands hopes to sell enough to justify the yacht and all the other expensive and cool stuff they do to attract attention in a nice way (working with Marina Orlova). That’s all I care about, her success.

I am proud of Marina. Look what she’s accomplished in her hard work in just a year! I want to see her succeed and that goes for whatever business is associated with her. I just hope Neurobrands can get Marina into the FORMULA ONE PADDOCK AREA for a photo of her and an F1 car with a bottle of NeroGAS! :-) BURP :-) The British guys on board the PURE ONE yacht should know Sir Peter Branson’s people at Cannes and Monaco. Because Virgin is sponsoring Braun Racing’s cars this season and they’re currently leading the races. Neurobrands and the English chaps on the yacht should be able to get Marina into the Formula One car paddocks (right next to the Marina!) so she can possibly meet the drivers and sponsors and pose with a bottle in front of a Braun/Virgin F1 car! Maybe there’s a “Nero-Sports” drink that could be hyped as good for hydrating a Formula One driver would be “extroardinaire”.

They have a one week charter on that yacht and they boarded in Monaco harbor last Saturday morning. That boat could go right back to Monaco and maximize the investment NeuroBrands is making…and Marina could get an amazing ending to a REALLY cool vacation!

Me, I’m going to go walk the dog. We don’t have Neuro drinks in Laramie, but the tap water is so good the old steam trains used to stop here so the passengers could taste the water. Hope Marina still drinks tap water now and then :-)

I think this film won Cannes Short Subject;
Sebastian’s Voodoo!
Wonderful!

¡Jambo jambo!

Good stuff! Forsooth, I like it much indeed. Thanks for posting this wyo550.
