Two actresses from the Franco-Italian cinema aristocracy - Carla Bruni's sister and Catherine Deneuve's daughter - are duelling head to head, and hankie to hankie, in rival "weepie" movies released in France this week.

The two films, competing to become the French, post-summer, romantic blockbuster, star Chiara Mastroianni, the daughter of Deneuve, and Valeria Bruni-Tadeschi, the older sister of the French first lady.

Both films opened at 200 cinemas across France this week. Both are 105 minutes long. Both are classic tales of tangled, or doomed, love, with a modern, feminist twist. Both of the lead actresses are of Franco-Italian origin. Both have received rave reviews. And both women have been tipped to win nominations for a César, or French Oscar, next February.

The guy standing on the runway is an officer from the French Foreign Legion.
He used to tease the french pilots about their skills and about who has the "biggest one".
So one day he bet - in front of all of his men - that a pilot could not fly low enough to remove his green beret.
Unfortunately someone as dumb as him accepted the bet, and here is the result.
He put the beret so damn low on his head that the only way to make it fly away would have been to take the head wit it.
Which was nearly the case.
For information, don't believe the pilot is an ace. He can absolutely not calculate the exact height above ground, and was just lucky enough not to kill his fellow soldier.

And there was no way for an officer of the Foreign Legion to make a single move, not with all of his men looking at him.
