The French Connection is basically a movie about a couple of cops who tail these drug dealers around NYC or as the boss dude in the film puts it, they "go all around town jerking off" (paraphrase)...and yet it is so much more than that. There is something really interesting about the camera work in
The French Connection, like how they filmed a hat in the back of a car or a girls feet peddling a bicycle. There is also a very subtle humor in the film that I really liked. My favorite scene was them tearing the car apart looking for drugs. Somehow, that was really fascinating. Oh! And the "Tailing Frog 1" scene was funny, too.
PS. More pictures of

Chubby Can Kill my homie
Kevin Ung & my homie Kathleen at the Chickenproof screening @
New People. Yep, great pose from me, eh? That's what I look like. I am the most photogenic person on the PLANET.
