Crazy Pete

Some people have a way of taking the magic out of things. Whether it's the way they describe them, moan about them or just reveal the secrets you didn't want or need to know, we've all known people like this.

Anyway, like all supercool people, I'm a big fan of French cinema and hold a special love for films starring Anna Karina, especially those by Jean-Luc Godard. One of those films is crime drama Pierrot le Fou, which Wikipedia helpfully translates into English as "Pierrot the madman" in case you weren't sure.

This isn't good enough for Australia though, where they've decided that the film should instead be called "Crazy Pete". I don't know who's responsible for this (distributors, studio etc), but really? Crazy Pete?
