A French film without an ending

This site was out of business all of yesterday afternoon and evening, because Hosting Matters was kaput.

It's now the smallest hour of Wednesday, and I'm watching one of those delightfully pointless French films with one guy and three girls he has to choose between. He is somewhat weak and somewhat selfish and more than somewhat indecisive, and consequently, without particularly meaning to be, somewhat cruel. I know a young man almost exactly like him, in appearance, in behaviour, and in the fact that the girls just queue up to be tormented by him. The actresses all have bigger bums than you expect of actresses, which makes them look like real people, which I like. All they've done is walk about, and talk. No expense has been incurred, all expense has been spared, which I also like, although everything looks great because the setting is the coast of Brittany, which I like a lot. Because it's not Hollywood, you can't tell what's going to happen next. I'm enjoying it, even though it has subtitles, which I hate. Oh bugger, it's just finished, and nothing was decided.

Am I now allowed to say I didn't enjoy it as much as I did, until it stopped? I fear not.
