Secret cinema found beneath Paris.
In September 2004, French police discovered a hidden chamber in the catacombs under Paris. It contained a full-sized movie screen, projection equipment, a bar, a pressure cooker for making couscous, a professionally installed electricity system, and at least three phone lines. Movies ranged from 1950s noir classics to recent thrillers.
When the police returned three days later, the phone and power lines had been cut and there was a note on the floor: “Do not try to find us.” (via)
Vivre Sa Vie (1962)
This pre-prom picture from the Virgin Suicides creeps me out.
The foreshadowing is intense. Lux’s hand looks like she’s holding a cigarette (she dies when she closes the garage door and starts the car while sitting inside the car smoking, her hand hanging out of the car the same way), Therese has her eyes closed (she later overdoses on sleeping pills), After the picture is taken, Mary coughs (she kills herself by putting her head in the oven), and Bonnie is positioned in a way that looks like she’s hanging herself…which is how she later dies.
So weird.
