Laurie,
Well you know, I thought it was my DUTY to let you know

Don’t complain that you haven’t been warned *final notice: part2, 13:30* ! Watch at your own risk.

btw, here’s the link:

I should warn the genral public that some images may not be suitable for everyone – like naked butts (Lizarazu and Petit), so please take note of the end of part 2, just for the sole purpose that the more impressionable people can avoid it!

Wow, Doume. Thank you so much for pointing out exactly where those naked butts can be found. For those of us who want to…avoid! Yes! That’s it! Avoid these things!

Bryan,
I found “Les Yeux” in DailyMotion, and watched untill part 3 of 9. Wow. lots of stuff! Including profane language from just about everybody. It’s just a massive translating job, but once again, if you want some specific moments, no problem.

Bryan,
Is the video online? I can translate some given places you would like to understand, it’s no problem, if you give me an URL and maybe a general place on the video. Same goes with anything anybody else would be interested in!

Laurie, the Thierry Henry piece is neat. Thank you!
I guess I’m now going to mention a similar piece on Thuram, which really made me appreciate immensely the guy. It’s rather long (30min) and emotional, and not subtitled, but you can understand, I’m sure, a lot of it. We see him in Guadeloupe, where he lived until 9 (his house is no more), then in the French ghetto (where he met is future wife at 9 1/2), and then during his first trip in Africa (celebrated in Togo a few weeks after beating them) ; at least watch at 16:20 the interaction with the kid who tells him Zidane was right to headbutt MM. I think it’s excellent. What a guy, really.

Bryan, Just watch it a bunch of times and you’ll kind of absorb it. I’ve had to do this with any number of French videos. Mind you, there have been a few cases when I finally got the actual translation, and realized that I’d been way off base about what I thought was going on.

Bryan, alas, I have no clue. Maybe some of my readers can come through for you?

Laurie – I just came across a fantastic documentary ‘Les Yeax Dans les Bleus.” Problem is, I don’t speak French. Do you or any of your readers know where I can find subtitles for it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Merci!
