the story takes the fenouillard family to paris where they want to see the eiffel tower ; but they take the wrong train , winds up on a ship who sails away to brazil : here they get lost in the virgin forest which looks like an exotic garden , complete with parrots , boas and cannibals .
in 1889 , the cornouillet family waited in line for the saint - cloud omnibus , just as the fenouillards did a couple of months later , in front of the restaurant at the universal exhibition .
but he ' s also added to it - - with puppets , chinese shadows , life - size wooden cutouts ( that speak ) , even a train that rolls behind the set . all the while , the only humans are the fenouillard family . backstage , rousselet runs the toys and - - yes - - appears as the shadows .

language , certainly , takes a back seat to visuals in
la famille fenouillard .
the strip ran in a french magazine from 1889 to 1893 and followed a bourgeois family traveling the world . along the way they encountered a primitive america - - full of political struggles , buffalo , sioux indians and trappers . and there were , of course , lots of pratfalls .
the theater ' s current production ,
la famille fenouillard ,
doesn ' t have that problem . it is based on the first french comic strip ; to celebrate its centennial , rousselet has adapted 15 of the original funnies . before each strip is performed , there is a short english narration , but the dialogues are in french . rousselet is confident that comprehension will not be a problem .
always , we think visually . we have children coming to see this . their laughter lets you know how unimportant language is .
the write - up talks a lot about how the story is a reaction by frank miller against his own earlier batman comics and their influence . it also talks about the effect 9 / 11 had on the comic . i may try to re - read the story if i can be bothered . this book was a combined effort of a bunch of different critics from around the world , with the dark knights strikes again being chosen for the book by matthias wivel .

halfway through rehearsals , rousselet took charge and gave the evening its structure : he kept parts of the improvisations , changed others , and threw some out .
his choices were always dead - on ,
says the actress , who played felicite , the maid .
he honed the story until opening night .
its there in 1989 , its just one of the ones it cheated with by naming the entire thing instead of specific stories .
the core concept of parasyte is just devilman but with the demons replaced with aliens , the same ideas about predator / prey and humanity being an unnatural blight on the world are also carried over . other than those elements parasyte is a generic fighting manga .
i ' ve been categorising the choices by company for the last week ( because i ' m obsessive like that ) and thought that seeing as comicvine is very much geared towards the main superhero companies that people may like to see the break - down for them .
rousselet says he finds that american actors have difficulty with this nonrealistic approach .
the u . s . model for acting is the actors studio , { where } to be a good actor you must feel the emotions . that ' s good for the psychological aspect . . . but i prefer the french tradition - - always out of character , looking at it from a distance . one is cerebral , the other emotional .
the play was performed with a mixture of french and english . the balance of languages has been a struggle for rousselet ; originally , the company performed at the french embassy , and all the shows were in french . but the theater ' s 1991 move to arlington brought american audiences , as well as financial pressures . as his audience became increasingly american - - rousselet estimates it is now half - - le neon began using more english .
for me , foreign language theater is not the critical thing ,
he says .
i use french , but more important is the image on the stage .
he chooses
a simple heart
as an example .
that was a very visual show . there were small dialogues in french , but the narration was in english , and that gave all the ideas . we always look for the best way to mix languages .

i will definitely try it , i have already started on fist of the north star though ( i ' m only really familiar with the old movie from bitd ) .
rousselet generally builds an evening of theater by choosing stories , novels or themes and adapting them to the stage . helen hayes award - winning actress nancy robinette explains the making of last summer ' s
a simple heart
:
the first week , didier had us single out the elements of the { flaubert } story that were sensorial . i was assigned sounds . someone did colors , someone tastes , and so on . we talked about them , and that gave us a sense of { the characters ' } world . then we selected the most interesting story images . we put the show together by improvising on four - line passages . flaubert was such a master , so that was very easy .
yup i also felt that this was one of the more odd choices that stood out .

its a little out of date now ( having been published in 2011 ) but covers the entire history of comics ( with the earliest being 1837 ) so that ' s not really a big deal . it tries to cover the main superheroes but is not focused on them .
and because the strip was printed solely in pastels , the set and costumes are pale pink , blue , green and yellow . rousselet has brought a century - old comic to life .
the strip consisted of three panels , so rousselet has constructed three 8 - by - 12 - foot picture frames for his set - - each only three feet deep , to createa flat , cartoon - like appearance . when the actors finish one scene , they move ( or pratfall ) to the next panel ; the play , then , is performed in 45 short frames .
in case this ends up being the last bump i ' ll put some random thoughts here .
rousselet is already developing his next show ,
children of the jazz age ,
based on the stories of f . scott fitzgerald ; it will open in may . in it , a group of elderly people gather in a ballroom and recall the 1920s . the actors are improvising on the stories now . rousselet has little idea what the show will become - - which is what rouses him .
i know there will be flashbacks ,
he says .
i know there will be a live band . and i don ' t know much more than that .
le neon french - american theater was born in 1987 , just months after rousselet arrived in the united states to teach history at the french international school in bethesda . he varied the theater ' s name slightly :
i had to use le because americans think that ' s french .
françois caradec is one of the leading lights of the oulipo writing group . his landmark rehabilitation of christophe was first published in 1956 , with a preface by raymond queneau , and was reprinted , greatly expanded and lavishly illustrated , by pierre horay in 1981 . caradec’s other works include the definitive study of raymond roussel , and books on alphonse allais , lautréamont and the infamous farter “le petomane” ( with jean nohain ) .

the green hornet ( universal , 1940 ) . title lobby card chapter 2 - -

i ' ve had a wee look at the book before , i ' ve read hardly any of them .
the strains of running a small theater exact a heavy sigh from the rangy frenchman . his teaching contract ( and income ) ended in june 1992 . he says he works 12 hours a day for the theater , without pay , and lives off savings ( the theater does not turn a profit ) . however , he is not ready to abandon his quixotic vision .
the mainstream of theater is different from what i want to do ,
he says ,
but it ' s different from french theater too . there is a traditional theater in france called ' theater de boulevard . ' that ' s only for entertainment . here it would be like a musical . you go to relax and laugh and be entertained . but there is also in france , since the 1950s , an idea of working in a company , where the text is only part of the show , where the design , costumes , movement and actors are linked . this theater is not realistic . this is my passion .
i like that the book tries its best to represent comics from all over the world , there ' s a lot of interesting stuff here that a lot of people won ' t have heard of . based on my own experience with us / japanese / uk comics i feel that it does a good job of covering the most important us and japanese releases but only does a reasonable job with british comics ( it covers most of the major stuff but not the more obscure releases ) . i don ' t know enough about french and italian comics to comment .
the placings are set out in chronological order , with each entry being given either a page , or half a page of write - up , and some info on writers and artists as well as the original publishers is included .
i tend to go through phases , i ' m trying to mix things up a bit at the moment tbh .
i started theater as a hobby ,
rousselet , age 46 , says ,
and more and more i had a passion . and the more i knew , the more it became obvious that this would be my life .
i ' m not keen on the way that some entries are writer / artist runs ( eg lee / ditko spider - man ) , whilst others are focused on a singular story , seems kind of like cheating to me . the layout can also be a bit confusing at times .
didier rousselet is le neon ' s founder . he is sitting inside the theater , wondering if he ' ll get his $ 15 , 000 back . that ' s what he spent to open the doors in 1991 . he had to gut a television repair shop and put in a bathroom , heating and proper egress . to call the results spartan would be a compliment . he is sanguine , but not about retrieving his money .

last fall , in
l ' amour medecin
(
love is the best medicine
) by moliere , two performances a week were in french , and two in english . rousselet is hesitant to try it again .
the problem is that when we staged it in french , we discovered that english rhythms are different . we had to change many subtle details with the second cast . it was really like doing two plays .
have not read the first two but i will shortly . i have read shade though , it was great , not as good x static or human target though .
since you seem to be in sort of a manga kick , try bakune young if you like over the top action . this scan is pretty mild , though .
not sure i would ' ve put ultimate spider - man on the list , probably would ' ve gone with a jm demateis story to round off spider - man .
the single greatest criticism rousselet receives is that his work is too slow . his outlook is the reverse : life is too fast .
people in the united states are hypnotized by television , that river of rushing images - - news , commercials , soap operas flowing into one . this is not what i want . i want something simple . a piece of fabric that an audience can dream on . our theater is not action - packed . some look at what we do and don ' t understand it , because there is no crime . . .
fruit basket , tokyo zombie , uzumaki , tdksa and golgo 13 ? i mean theses are cool and all , but really . loving the tezuka and go nagai ( also gon ) love though .
i think maybe there ' s slightly too much manga here ( not by much , just slightly ) , it seems to me that some of their popular , but lightweight and derivative releases got onto the list , whilst similar things from other countries were not allowed . by the 90s other countries seem to have required their action / adventure comics to have something that set them apart from what came before .
its a little strange that roy of the rovers isn ' t representing the uk side given how popular it was . i also think there should ' ve been at least one reg parlett humour strip , that guy was very prolific , long serving , and his art easily recognisable ( in fact fleetway didn ' t get any humour entries at all here , even though anthologies of humour comics made up a large amount of their output ) .
le neon french - american theater sits next to arlington ' s rod and reel repair shop , where a sign in the window says you can get your pole lubed for two fins . this is charm , arlington - style . the theater is just one more storefront along a tacky ' 50s strip mall on lee highway . if these buildings are around in 200 years , they ' ll be viewed as romantically as 17th - century french villages today - - if , that is , cinder block can be romantic .
somewhere around 100 - 110 ' s i think that i ' ve read from that list . not counting the ones that i own but haven ' t read yet and things that i ' ve only read a little of and haven ' t finished yet .
i ' ll have to check out that roy thomas x - men run someday . people usually tend to say that x - men comics only became really good when claremont took over , but i have seen the odd person bring up this roy thomas run from time to time .
le neon was , and remains , decidedly different from most commercial fare in this - - or any - - city . this is theater for intellectuals . no cheap emotions , no soap opera plots . rarely do the actors even use scripts ; this is a theater of concepts , and visual delights .
theater came late to rousselet . he took his undergraduate degree in history in paris and taught for six years . in 1972 , he began a doctorate in theater at the sorbonne , and it took seven years to complete . he then taught history in tunisia for three years . in 1980 , he returned to paris with a decision : he would pursue theater full time . he formed his own company , theatre du neon , choosing the name , he says ,
because theater is something illuminating , at night , in town , and artificial .
two years later , he was back to teaching history .
for money ,
he says with a grimace .

he can tell a whole story physically ,
says robinette .
he ' s not a mime . he ' s better than that . but he doesn ' t need words .
theater can be an antidote . we are survivors against a flood . but here we can train our eyes to really see , really experience . if people come and sit down for two hours to watch something very simple , i think , in this world , that is very refreshing .

odd that they left of milligan ' s human target . it ' s his best work .
it isn ' t . his 80 ' s and 90 ' s works are better .
like ? i ' ve definitely liked human target over everything else i have read by him . x - statix came close though .
i ' ve looked through this book twice or thrice and i was hugely dissapointed .
i ' d chime in on peter milligan but i ' ve only read his fleetway comics tbh .
i don ' t think parasyte should ' ve been here . i ' ve been reading devilman , and parasyte seems to take quite a bit from it imo .
it ' s only three volumes so a pretty short series overall . not really a serious story , a parody in a way but i thought it was done pretty well . storytelling is top notch , though .

alabama moon
by watt key tells the story of a teenage boy raised in the forests of alabama by his eccentric father . the author did a fine job crafting a coming - of - age adventure story about a boy finding his place in the world after his father dies and he is left alone in the woods . it ' s a cross between a buddy story and a wilderness adventure saga . the writing style makes it an easy read while also allowing for vivid imagery to be constructed in the reader ' s mind . despite the trouble moon caus

this book that i am currently reading is alabama moon and it is about a boy named moon and his pap . they find a place to live but instead moon has to go to a boys home because he was in the woods and his pap died from an infection in his foot . he meets some boys in the boys home . then hal , kit , and moon decide to escape from the boys home , so they did . i don ' t like this book because it doesn ' t have any action in it or comedy , and i usually prefer mysteries . it ' s boring because it’s sad because they talk about escaping , running , and people dying . moon , hal , pap , kit , mr aborcrotto , and sanders are some of the characters . i would pick moon as my favorite because he ' s smart and caring to other people . i don’t have a least favorite character because no one is mean in this book . i would give it a two because it ' s boring , not interesting , or appealing to me , and i am not liking the characters .
it’s 1980 , and 11 - year - old moon blake has spent most of his life hiding out in the forests of alabama with his father , an anti - government radical who clings to conspiracy theories and trusts no one . moon’s life suddenly changes when the land is sold and his father dies . he has never known any truth but his papa , and so he tries to follow his last instructions : make your way to alaska where “people could still make a living off trapping . ”
director tim mccanlies adapted key ' s novel into a motion picture , which premiered at the sidewalk film festival in september 2009 .
afraid of the government and wanting to go to alaska that is thousands of miles away . only having some food a rifle and a wheelbarrow . you get caught a few times and are in jail . this is what happened to the protagonist in the story alabama moon . i highly recommend this book to readers that like adventure , action , and survival .
this guy named moon is a boy that lives with has dad and they don ' t like the government . i like the character moon because just the way he dose stuff like he doesn ' t care about a lot of things . another reason why i like the book is because the way they do the book like the writing .
the film is sweet and should still play well with young audiences despite wandering into cliched territory , complete with a forced courtroom climax that doesn ' t reward the characters as you ' d hope . but you still root for moon and his journey to find individuality and trust through tragedy at a young age .
nice little family film that should appeal to parents and kids under the age of 12 . clean language , christian values and clint howard .

in the path of civilization , moon quickly lands himself in a reform school where he meets the mean - spirited constable sanders ( clint howard ) and learns what friendship is all about . with the help of mr . wellington ( john goodman ) , moon adapts and learns to survive in the outside world . “being involved with this movie has been the experience of a lifetime , ” said lee faulkner . “when i read watt key’s novel i knew it would make a perfect family film . ”
summary : living out in the woods with pap was all moon ever knew . living a life in the woods hiding from the government was not an easy life to live . after sadness strikes moon ' s life yet again , he heads off to alaska where he will find people like himself . all alone , moon reaches many unexpected places through his journey as well as create friendships that he had never had . evaluation : i would recommend this for 4th grade or higher because the main character is the same age that these students

but even as moon yearns to go back to the woods and carry on as his father taught him , he already embraces elements of the outside world from which his dad sheltered him like friends and even food . life on the
outside
isn ' t so bad after all , but moon remains reluctant to trust anyone , unless he needs help escaping .

the book i read was alabama moon by watt key . this book is about a boy who lives in the forest of alabama . he has never talked to anyone besides his father . he learned to live off what was in the woods . on occasion him and his father would go to town . to sell stuff and get some supplies . then one day his father got hurt . and he lost his father so he went off to look at something and was found . he escaped from the guy taking him away . then a couple days later he was caught by the constable . he wa

so mccanlies and his crew instead opted for louisiana , though the film remains set in the yellowhammer state . we get those same references to birmingham , tuscaloosa , mobile and other cities , but the film ' s biggest problem lies in the fact that region it adopts never finds tangible life on screen .
in 1998 tim wrote and directed “dancer , texas pop . 81” . the film began as a low budget independent feature but john calley , head of sony pictures , purchased the film one week into production . “dancer” premiered with exceptional reviews , made a dozen critics’ “top ten movies of 1998” lists , and was a phenomenon in texas , where it played in theatres continually for seven months . it premiered internationally at the london film festival in november , 1998 .
i got the job of picking the friday night movie for us to watch with our two boys . alabama moon turned out to be a great choice . although our youngest drifted off about halfway through , our 9 year - old was enthralled with the adventure story . moreover , although the themes of death , anti - government sentiment and the realities of survivalism were treated fairly lightly , the movie triggered a few insightful questions from the kids - an indication that the level of the movie was perfectly pitched at their level of understanding and ability to deal with serious issues . a bit like moon himself , really . of course there was corn and humour bordering on slapstick ( the constable is a caricature of the mean lawman ) , but it ' s right at home in a gentle family film like this . and if you want your kids to gain some deeper insight into what real friendship means , look no further than moon and kit .
still , you wish other states ' incentives weren ' t so enticing that filmmakers would opt to tell specifically - set stories elsewhere . mimicking geography rarely works , and generic woods don ' t necessarily breathe life into a region you ' re depicting . so please come film in alabama , folks , even you must stretch your dollars . you won ' t regret it .
alabama moon is an incredibly captivating book to anyone with even the slightest interest in the outdoors . the story of a young boy and his countless enemies and loyal friends along with his immense knowledge of the wilderness will keep you on the edge of your seat . watt key ' s style of writing keeps the plot moving and the reader guessing until the very last page . on the top of my favorites list .

moon blake is raised by his loving but government - paranoid father oliver in a hidden cave in the alabama forests . oliver dies from a leg wound he refuses to have medically treated , so moon is told to move away , alone , and start a new home in the alaskan wild - lands . constable sanders , however - the mean local cop - finds the boy with his father ' s guns , abuses him and has him locked away till majority age for ' assault ' within mr . gene ' s grim pinson home for boys . moon soon makes friends with shy , sickly kit and apparent bully hal , then sets up a mass escape , on which only the trio actually follows through . sanders fails to catch them , but the unforgiving elements reshuffle the cards dramatically . an uncle is meanwhile found .

mccanlies gets to the heart of key ' s coming - of - age tale of survival , tragedy and trust just fine through a series a emotional scenes that won ' t have trouble connecting with most audiences , especially children . but it ' s frustrating when a film with alabama in its title can ' t find its production in that state , losing a crucial sense of place for that audience , particularly those from the area . so any reference to tuscaloosa , livingston or pinson ultimately loses meaning because the film literally won ' t take us there .
documenting justice focuses on issues of justice and injustice within alabama , while international documenting justice , for those who plan to study abroad , gives students the opportunity to tell social - justice - themed stories from all corners of the globe .

directed by tim mccanlies ( secondhand lions ) , alabama moon is big - hearted and sweet and likable , but it also feels rushed and truncated , as well as uneven in tone . it begins with some very intense , dramatic scenes in which an 11 - year - old loses his father and becomes an orphan , and then the tone settles on a rather lightweight , and even comical adventure story that stays somewhat inert ; while there is much talk of going to alaska , most of the images consist of the boys hanging around in one spot . the story doesn ' t really move .

by watt key is a book that couldn ' t really interest me from it ' s blurb . but i must say that once i read a few chapters i realized how strong this book is . by which i mean that it has such a great message which is clearly expressed by watt key . and that message is ; one does not need much to captivate his / her life , all you need is skill , responsibility , independence , and appreciation of what you have . i find this message to be perfect regarding the fact that this book was made for y
