Joan apparently grew up watching some of the later Fantômas movies, all lots of cheesy fun from what I understand, but the one I most want to see is the silent serial from 1913-14 directed by Louis Feuillade of "Les Vampires" and "Judex" fame (it supposedly was a huge influence on both the surrealists and assorted French filmmakers from the nouvelle vague generation). Anyway, thanks for the question, the visit and the Feedjit map/live traffic ideas which I borrowed from your own blog a couple of days ago.

Sounds like fun! As to the books, there were apparently 31 sequels to the original...some written over the course of a weekend to satisfy the demand (I just checked out a compilation with 4 or 5 more Fantômas titles in French, so I fear I'm on the road to another addiction).Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746599416342846897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911087927983597831.post-59909191838723858522008-04-09T01:27:00.000-04:002008-04-09T01:27:00.000-04:00I love(d) the Fantomas movies (this drives me back...I love(d) the Fantomas movies (this drives me back to my teens), with Jean Marais, Louis de Funès and Mylène Demongeot (if I remember correctly) as actors...
