I've seen naked pix of Jane, so she wins over Nancy.

so what about lee vs serge?

My father had a 1995 Playboy with a Nancy Sinatra pictorial and she looks astoundingly fuckable. I hope she isn't plastic or wasn't airbrushed, because seriously...she looked immensely lovely nude. Jane in her prime isn't even close to being as pulchritudinous as Nancy in her 50's! And I like Jane! So I guess Nancy > Jane after all.

Not to mention that Jane appeared in Blow-Up, the most overrated movie ever. Revered by film critics, but my former Brooklynite paramour (who's an aspiring director and does have excellent taste and I honestly think she has the potential to make Sofia Coppola look like Roger Vadim or the Farrelly Brothers) and I were so not intrigued by it that we made love forty minutes into the film and didn't miss a bloody thing. I guess Antonioni's Italian neo-realism translated poorly into English, because I love L'Avventura soooo much.

Jane in her 20's, not her prime, although she looks immensely swoonworthy on the cover of Arabesque.

Screw it, Nancy uber alles except when it comes to Catherine Deneuve. And then I don't know what happens...Catherine probably wins for me because I'm more familiar with her, but I'm not sure what my verdict would be if I familiarised myself more with Nancy.

Claudine Longet > Jane > Nancy

Hey, it's just an opinion.

― jim wentworth (wench), Sunday, 20 March 2005 02:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmm, she is pretty cute...I think she's on par with Jane.

Haven't heard her music, though.

If you'd asked what instead of whom, I'd answer that it's a Cabaret Voltaire song.

But for the record, I'm bored enough to post on ILM with frequency and with Spring Break I'm so bored that I've been posting here more often than usual.

i would have said both a few decades ago, but nancy has transformed into some silicone paris hilton/tori spelling wannabe so i'd vote for jane (if i was a heterosexual single malet but i'm not so...)

Jane Birkin was in Blow-Up, thus Jane Birkin wins by an incalculable amount of light years.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 20 March 2005 15:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Alex, could you enlighten me on what makes Blow-Up so wonderful? I don't mean that contemptuously, but in all seriousness, I'd really love to know.

Describing it as a "song" is pushing it

Well, I can only speak for myself -- as I know lots of people think the film is just pretentious and hollow -- but I'm just a fan of the whole thing. On the one hand, I'm a rampant Anglophile, so I love the film's depiction of mid-60's "Swinging" London. On the other, I find the sequence depicting the photographer's gradual deduction of events to be absolutely chilling and masterful. There's also just a creepy vibe that permeates through the whole film that I just love....so much silence and strageness. Is there a lot of filler in the film? I think so -- to my mind lots of time wasted establishing what an arrogant prick the photographer is (which could've been easily been established with a bit of editing) and the whole mime thing is a bit heavy handed, but for the passages wherein Vanessa Redgrave and her unfortunate lover are stalked through the park, CLASSIC.

Also the scene in the nightclub with the Yardbirds is fucking amazing.

Anyway, that's why I like it. I still want to go on a pilgrimage to Marion Park in London to visit the locale (also the sight of the rarely-seen video for the Stranglers' cover of "Walk On By").

That should've been straNgeness, obv.

Indeed so.

Thank you for answering, Alex sir.

I've been a Gainsbourg fan for years, just to be clear. I have seen Nancy here in SF (at Bimbos) which was actually quite fun. I saw Birkin recently at the GAMH and she was truly, profoundly weird and not in a good way, almost reverently and parastically trying to channel Serge. It was so creepy, I had to leave. BTW, never saw the Nancy pictorial but Jane's still rocking the gamine thing pretty well. I wish my midriff were that fit.

i saw jane on a stupid french talk show last year and she still looks hot, i dunno if her music is any good though (i doubt it).
