Paris (September 2018) Comments

(CONT.) YES, aliens were in this movie which i saw YEARS ago! Close Encounters of the Third Kind PG 1977 ‧ Drama/Science Fiction ‧ 2h 15m thanks for the tour, MN. how much do i owe you? oh, sorry, i left my wallet at home. bri :)

(cont.) Roman research into true human form.. i thought this was about Paris. but i found: The Romans conquered the Parisii in 52 AD and they built a town on the River Seine. The Romans called Paris Lutetia. i read in The Agony and the Ecstasy, a biographical novel of Michelangelo Buonarroti, the famed sculptor, that M.B. secretly studied the anatomy of corpses to be better able to sculpt the human body. i suppose he measured EVERYTHING! (cont.)

(cont.) Le Lido is a cabaret and burlesque show located on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, ..... known for its exotic shows including dancers, singers, and other performers....exotic means strippers? ? but lido means other things. [perhaps li-bi-do comes from bi and lido, something for 'both tastes'? ] (cont.)

(cont.) i saw the OLD The Hunchback of Notre Dame movie and read the (long-winded, but) entertaining novel by Victor Hugo decades ago. their endings were quite different, though both Quasimodo and Esméralda were dead at the book & movie endings. it is supper time here, late in northern California. i'll try to remember to return for more commenting (and reading) later. bri :)

The Eiffel Tower is built of riveted (2.5 million rivets!) wrought iron. ...... 50 metric tons of three graded tones of paint every 7 years to protect the 200,000 square meters of iron lattice work from rust. The darkest paint is used at the bottom and the lightest shade at the top....... On occasion, the color of the paint is changed. The tower is currently painted to a shade of brown. (cont.)
