  1. @kateyrich Julianne Moore reading Mrs. Dalloway in The Hours?
  2. I forgot that About Schmidt is as soaked as The Descendants is with "Boy, do I miss my sweet wife but also f*@# that b%@#h!" #BringThePayne
  3. Which is bleaker? The fact that I've only had time to see one brand-new release in 2012, or the fact that it was Tyler Perry's Good Deeds?
  4. @IAmBlankenship Ewwww, Kevin Swahili, I *knew* it, he got COOTIES! (Some days I am especially thankful for your Blankenshipness)
  5. @IAmBlankenship You mean with the totally rad "Girl, why do you keep f***ing this up?" intro-convo? "You keep comin' IN and comin' OUT..."
  6. An angel gets its wings when a female cinematographer earns major recognition. Still, I'm surprised The Hunt won Tech Grand Prize at Cannes.
  7. Hollywood Ending (02, D–): From lighting to scripting to mugging to framing, an exercise in garish self-contempt. Leoni wasted, as so often.
  8. That sick feeling when you think you're at least past 40 minutes of a terrible movie and discover you're only through 21. #HollywoodEnding
  9. Every time I see Wall Street, I forget it. When I see it again, I realize why I forgot it. Camera, script, cast a gestalt of shallow effect.
  10. @snottily I'm talking about Tim Roth's jury for the Un Certain Regard division, not the main Cannes competition, which he didn't judge.
  11. I have failed to applaud Tim Roth's jury for ditching Best Actor and giving two Best Actress prizes instead. That's how you DO it, Tim! Yes!
  12. @joereid HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY, and also, I completely endorse that way of celebrating. But it bears repeating, HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY.
  13. @joereid HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and also, I completely endorse that way of celebrating. But it bears repeating, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
  14. Thx to @filipe_otavio and @RADSRADS for this link: bit.ly/LdaipA Signing off Twitter until I can watch the ceremony in due suspense.
  15. Another of my favorite pieces to come out of this year's Cannes coverage, written by Daniel Kasman, c/o @thedailyMUBI: bit.ly/JFypuA
  16. I'm guessing Motors (Palme), Like Someone (GJP), Fog (JP), Mungiu, Tiesel, Schoenaerts, JLT & Riva (65th), Reality (scr), Zeitlin (Cam d'or)
  17. Any leads on a time and URL for a broadcast of the Cannes awards ceremony?
  18. @vjmfilms @DecentFilms You guys are more interesting about the film than it is about itself. I still don't buy it but appreciate the debate.
  19. @vjmfilms THAT sounds like a staunch defense of the film against any argument that it abstracts its scenario into an occasion for sentiment
  20. @vjmfilms @DecentFilms This level of nuance could have been reached in scenes half as long, leaving more time for denser probing of context
