Well face it, not everyone likes your “art” or whatever it is. I found it boring, contrived and a bit negative. I find it far sadder that you cannot take an honest comment. Many people liked it and I didn’t. get over it. And so as not to further confuse you, I retract my “Sorry.”
Perhaps you can take it constructively, improve your pronunciation (which needs it), and you will come back and thank me.
Well improving my pronunciation of a language that I don’t speak isn’t very high on my priority list. And it certainly isn’t important to the video in any way. I chose French because of the style and genre I was parodying, not because of my brilliant pronunciation. I’d never spoken more than 3 words in French before I made the film.
I certainly can take criticism, I just find it amusing that of the hundreds of thousands of people who have seen this, you are the first person to leave me any sort of negative comment. (save for the brilliant comment on YouTube: “holy shit i saw this video in juvee oh yeh it sux and makes no sense french pp, are retarded”…isn’t that nice company to be in?)
And this isn’t exactly some film criticism forum where I am in search of feedback, it’s my personal blog. So please jump off your high horse. Whatever brought Henri into your lap, I didn’t force you to watch it, nor did I request your amazing powers of criticism. You didn’t get the film, it didn’t work for you, fine, I get that. If you found it “negative”, then the humor clearly wasn’t working on you. And again, that’s fine. But when you go onto someone’s personal blog to trash something they’ve done, that betrays a pretty negative side to your own personality, wouldn’t you say?
At the end of the day, it’s a 2 minute video about a cat. If you think that is worth your negative feedback, you should reevaluate your priorities.
My priorities have no bearing on your unfunny video, your self indulgent response and your self-centered view of the world. I didn’t like it. Be glad I took the two minutes to at least watch it.
And to respond – your “own personal blog” is for all the world to see, wouldn’t you say? The comments are open to all, so it really is not that personal, wouldn’t you say? Forgive me for intruding on your sacred little world. From under what rock did you just recently emerge? Make your “own personal blog” open only to sycophants if you are too sensitive to hear something other than, “Oh brilliant.” I didn’t like it and frankly I don’t like you.
If 200,000 people like Henri, and one person hates it with the searing passion of the sun, I’ll take that ratio.
But seriously, relax man. As I said before, it’s a 2 minute after-dinner mint of a film about a cat. Take a nap and get on with your life. I’m done discussing this.

LOVE IT!

Absolutely brilliant! Especially the part with the spider!
01/25/08 at 7:50 am
That was all sorts of amusing.
01/30/08 at 7:32 am
I was saying to myself this morning, while waiting for the bus, that I was made to suffer. But hardly as poignantly as Henri did.
01/31/08 at 9:47 am
This is awesome.
02/5/08 at 10:57 am
That is seriously brilliant!
02/8/08 at 2:58 pm
That was freakin’ awesome! I love the music playing. Perfect!
02/29/08 at 12:39 pm
I loved it. I was cracking up. Great video!
05/2/08 at 5:02 pm
Fantastic!

Ah, mon ami…John Paul Sartre shares your pain. Or maybe it was pain perdu:

J’aime Henri!
Your film is brilliant!!!
06/8/08 at 9:04 pm
Je suis Henri. I want the t-shirt.
06/11/08 at 6:25 am
He speaks the words of a thousand cats! Oh and people too.
I love Henri!
07/2/08 at 4:49 am
Wonderful video clip. Henri would have culture shock – I have dogs who think they are cats, and cats that think they are dogs.
I’m sending your site to every cat lover I know. They MUST meet Henri – and he’s going to be put on my blog in a link, today.
Give him some loving from me today.

Tres magnifique

J’adore HenrĂ.
08/3/09 at 8:09 pm
I thought it was boring and your pronounciation is bad. Sorry.
08/3/09 at 9:16 pm
@JS
I think it’s pretty sad to spend time writing a comment about something you don’t like…and then writing an awkward pseudo-apology…
Sorry.

Get over it and yourself, moron. When you grow up and want to have an intelligent conversation, get back to me.

Boy, you are in need of some positivity, brother.
If 200,000 people like Henri, and one person hates it with the searing passion of the sun, I’ll take that ratio.
