Besides the one time I picked up a French girl at a bar in Paris, Les Cahiers du Cinema has always been my favorite reason for knowing French. It is hands down the best cinema publication around. However, I always felt like I was missing something because, while my French is passable, the writing is so fantastic that I know I lost things in translation.

Enter eCahiers du Cinema.
http://www.e-cahiersducinema.com/

As they say, the "e" stands for both electronic and English. Now you can read Cahiers in english and on your computer. The subscription is fairly cheap (35 euros( and my only reservation is not actually having the physical magazine in my hands. However, the ability to read Cahiers in English is plenty incentive to buy this.

You can check out a preview of what the eSubscription is like (it's awesome) here http://www.virtuel-book.com/cdc/cdc00/

I would love to be able to speak/read French so that I would be able to read Cahiers du Cinema and Albert Camus' books in his native language. I saw this the other day and am definitely interested

This trial issue has a great article on the Friedkin film Bug that came out a few years ago.

This is really cool, I'll have to bring it up in my film study class. Maybe they'll get a university subscription or something that we can all use.

I love how you can highlight and take notes. There's also the option to print which I'll probably end up taking advantage of.

Seems pretty steep for not getting a physical copy.

You may be right, it may just be that I love the French version and am crazy excited to get it in English. Regardless, I'll definitely be paying for it.

It still seems like a really cool magazine. I will check out the sample issue when I get home, since my work comp doesn't have Flash.

I like FC but Cahiers kills it.
