THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW ANNA KARINA & JEAN-LUC GODARD FIRST “GOT TOGETHER”
Anna Karina: That happened while we were shooting the picture in Geneva. It was a strange love story from the beginning. I could see Jean-Luc was looking at me all the time, and I was looking at him too, all day long. We were like animals. One night we were at this dinner in Lausanne. My boyfriend, who was a painter, was there too. And suddenly I felt something under the table – it was Jean-Luc’s hand. He gave me a piece of paper and then left to drive back to Geneva. I went into another room to see what he’d written. It said, “I love you. Rendezvous at midnight at the Café de la Prez.” And then my boyfriend came into the room and demanded to see the piece of paper, and he took my arm and grabbed it and read it. He said, “You’re not going.” And I said, “I am.” And he said, “But you can’t do this to me.” I said, “But I’m in love too, so I’m going.” But he still didn’t believe me. We drove back to Geneva and I started to pack my tiny suitcase. He said, “Tell me you’re not going.” And I said, “I’ve been in love with him since I saw him the second time. And I can’t do anything about it.” It was like something electric. I walked there, and I remember my painter was running after me crying. I was, like, hypnotized – it never happened again to me in my life.
So I get to the Cafe de la Prez, and Jean-Luc was sitting there reading a paper, but I don’t think he was really reading it. I just stood there in front of him for what seemed like an hour but I guess was not more that thirty seconds. Suddenly he stopped reading and said,” Here you are. Shall we go?” So we went to his hotel. The next morning when I woke up he wasn’t there. I got very worried. I took a shower, and then he came back about an hour later with the dress I wore in the film - the white dress with flowers. And it was my size, perfect. It was like my wedding dress.
We carried on shooting the film, and, of course, my painter left. When the picture was finished, I went back to Paris with Jean-Luc, Michel Subor, who was the main actor, and Laszlo Szabo, who was also in the film, in Jean-Luc’s American car. We were all wearing dark glasses and we got stopped at the border – I guess they thought we were gangsters. When we arrived in Paris, Jean-Luc dropped the other two off and said to me, “Where are you going?” I said, “I have to stay with you. You’re the only person I have in the world now.” And he said, “Oh my God.”

Y’all, fanfiction was how my internet identity was formed in my teens. It’s gonna occur with or without author approval anyways, but it’s nice that so many writers are cool with it. In my opinion it’s like Spotify for music or even torrents for, well, everything… If someone writes fiction that is intriguing enough for you to go out and buy the source material, then it’s all good. Good source material will drive sales somehow or another.
Also, I can pick out quite a few published writers who got their start writing fanfic, and look at the whole 50 Shades of Grey controversy…

“
“Oh my God,” he said, “haven’t I had enough
trouble in my life?” He raised his head,
and for a second was enraged and yelling,
at the top of the bridge—“I was just driving
home!” His head fell down. “My God,
and now I’ve killed somebody.”
I looked down at my peacoat and levis,
then over at the dead man’s friend, who
was bawling and blubbering, what they would
call hysteria in a woman. “It isn’t possible,”
he wailed, but it was possible, it was
indeed, accomplished and unfeeling, snoring
in its peacoat, and without its levis on.
He died laughing: that’s a fact.
” —On occasion, I think of the phrase “a woman is talking to death,” and the entire weight of the poem slides down on me, and I have to find it and read it again.
It is here.
“Houston Station — it looks like we got us a Dragon by the tail.” —

Excellent.

NPR Music: What’s the best song that you heard this week? -
I’ve got a busy day ahead, so I’ll spare my typically wordy intro. Maybe you already know the drill? Share your the best song you heard all week, whether it be brand new, an old song you heard in a movie or a coffee shop, or anything really.
I’ll start: “Waswasa” by Six Organs of Admittance…

As a teenager, you’re searching for something that fits for you. I was pretty average at most things. I was just looking for something that I could relate to and perhaps excel in myself.*
*Michael describing his path to acting. This is one of only a few quotes found in the article that doesn’t mention Fassbender’s penis or is an overt sexual innuendo.
Never thought I’d feel kinda bad for Fassbender, but having every single interview you do revolve around a series of dick jokes has got to be a bit wearying after a while.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m42i52HxeD1qanm80o1_500.jpg)
