Indy dances the Cannes Cannes!


No huge hollywood film has been to Cannes since the critics slaughtered The Da Vinci Code. Will Indy prevail against the evil critics?

Does it really matter?

I mean, seriously, even if the movie sucks (and hey, it might but I'll still feel giddy like a schoolboy when I go see it), it will still make more money its opening weekend than the GDP of Somalia*.

But Variety is calling it Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Critical Knives.

* I really don't know the GDP of Somalia but it sounds good.

Say What?!



I'm bummed that Cate Blanchett did not win last night for her role as Jude (aka Bob Dylan) in I'm Not There. I'm sure Tilda Swinton did a fine job, but seriously...

Otherwise, mostly not suprised by the winners, though haven't seen No Country For Old Men yet, but now want to even more.

All in all, the most endearing moment of the night was when Jon Stewart pulled out Marketa Irglova so that she could give her acceptance speech. Very classy, Jon. And she was delightful and inspiring, sharing words of hope and believing in your dreams.

And really, that's what that crazy city of Hollywood is all about.

And the second most endearing night was from Diablo Cody, writer of Juno who proclaimed, "This is for the writers!"
