Good predictions although I think Grand Tour and Caught by the Tides will get something.
I’m half wondering if they create a special prize for Megalopolis.

Re: Cannes 2024
I think Toni Erdmann had the highest rating in a decade and it won nothing.

Re: Cannes 2024
Speaking of body horror, Cronenberg's The Shrouds sounds both old school (it sounds gross) and personal (it's' about his late wife) and except for Ehrlich it sounds like muted praise at best. https://www.indiewire.com/criticism/movies/the-shrouds-review-david-cronenberg-1235007047/ https://variety.c...

Re: Cannes 2024
dws1982 wrote Jia Zhangke's film Caught by the Tide has quietly become one of the most acclaimed films out of the festival, although it got buried in the discourse between Emilia Perez and The Substance. Jia has been an international mainstay for about twenty years now, so I could see him being a c...

Mister Tee wrote Beyond that...Magilla, are you on uppers or something? Did you not get from the reviews that The Substance is a horror movie? An apparently quite gross horror movie?

The Apprentice is out. Reviews don't seem great. Gleiberman seems to like it okay. Also, the film depicts him as a rapist. https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/20/the-apprentice-review-cartoon-version-of-chump-in-chief-donald-trumps-early-years?utm_term=Autofeed&CMP=edit_2221&ut...

Re: Cannes 2024
Assuming it's a deserving performance, that would be nice for Demi Moore to get an Oscar nomination at this point in her career. I wrote a post a little while ago about Sharon Stone's ubiquity when I was growing up and how quickly it seemed to flame out following her sole successful-ish bid for resp...

Greg wrote As it is in competition for both, they will likely give Emilia Perez the Queer Palm, rather than the Palme d'Or. As of now, I think it's the front-runner to win the Palme d'Or.

Re: Cannes 2024
Mister Tee wrote The buzziest title so far appears to be Jacques Audiard's Emilia Perez: Looks like a love it/hate it film. David Ehrlich has it at a C+ but describes it as "not unmemorable." Still plenty to go but if enough people love it but unless something else knocks their socks off ...

For the last few weeks, Allan Lichtman has been telling everyone that all the keys have been settled except for four. Last night, he gave a projection of how they're leaning right now (don't you love politics?): -No Third Party (True) -No Social Unrest (True) -Foreign-Military Success (False) -No Fo...
