Re: Cannes 2024
As it is in competition for both, they will likely give Emilia Perez the Queer Palm, rather than the Palme d'Or.

I remember Corman on an interview where he talked about distributing Cries And Whispers.

Justin Chang Wins Pulitzer Prize
I don't know who here follows film critic Justin Chang; but, he just won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism.

Re: Megalopolis reviews
Francis Ford Coppola just released the first trailer for Megalopolis on what appears to be his new YouTube channel. He is dedicating it to his late wife Eleanor. I find it intriguing, to say the least. It has already generated over 400 comments on the day it is posted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Re: New Developments III
What do you make of DeSantis' meeting with Trump? After the Kristi Noem meltdown, I don't see a strong VP candidate for him. Everyone else comes with significant problems (besides the fact that they're all obviously insane) and he needs money. Trying to predict Trump's mind, including the VP choice...

Re: New Developments III
And now, DeSantis just signed a law criminalizing food he doesn't like.

Re: Cannes 2024
Even though it is out of competition, Kevin Costner's 100-million-dollar-self-financed Horizon will make it to Cannes. This must be the first time Cannes, or any film festival, has two nine-figure-self-financed movies.

Re: Superb Harper's Article about the Life and Death of Hollywood
A little bit of this article alludes to how this is a phenomenon for the economy writ large, not just Hollywood. For Example: "Over the next decade, three asset-management companies—BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street—would take over American business, becoming the largest shareholders of 88 ...

Re: O.J. Simpson Dead at 76
While there was not much to respect about the whole fiasco, I do remember having respect for prosecutor Marcia Clark and Judge Ito, mostly for appearing to do the best they could in a very bad situation. I remember there was this joke when they were doing jury selection for the trial: "Knock kn...

Re: Cannes 2024
While it is a stretch to compare Megalopolis to Titanic , it may be more apt to compare it to Apocalypse Now . That is another Coppola film from a while back that had also been described as "baffling" and "batshit crazy," or words to that effect. If Megalopolis does Apocalypse No...

Re: Cannes 2024
My understanding from the reports I’ve read is that Coppola is looking for a wider distribution deal before considering Cannes, with the concern that mixed reviews might kill a possible deal. He wants it shown on IMAX screens. The film has its admirers but general word is that the film is too “out ...
