Alas, yes.

R.I.P. Jonathan Demme

Pedro Almodovar, Jessica Chastain, Will Smith, Maren Ade, Paolo Sorrentino, and Park Chan-wook will be on this year's Cannes jury.

And A Quiet Passion also has cars outrunning a submarine.

I went to my first Ebertfest this weekend, and saw To Sleep With Anger and The Handmaiden on Thursday. On Friday…

I was not.

"trips to the country are scored repeatedly with the same song that contains the lyrics “going back to the country”"

Man, they really lost the plot with this Green Room sequel.

Did Faye Dunaway give a better performance in this or at the Oscars?

And James Gunn sez there are actually five.

I'm going to put my money on Hazanavicius stinking up the joint a second time (his last movie, The Search, went to Cannes three years ago and was so brutalized by critics that it still hasn't been released here).

And John Cameron Mitchell's Neil Gaiman adaptation How to Talk to Girls at Parties is premiering Out of Competition!

Hearing Ignatiy praise James Gray and his movies is always a treat (his review of The Immigrant is just a gorgeous piece of writing), and the movie he's writing about this time sounds pretty goddamn amazing. My body is so ready for this movie.

Footage of Cable deep-throating a frozen banana or GTFO.

Josh Brolin is Cable in Deadpool 2.

He got swapped out for Colin Farrell once, they can do it again.

I imagine Annapurna is trying to replicate the success of Straight Outta Compton in that release date, with hopefully more awards-time success.

I'm a big fan of Gray, especially his last two movies (I was lucky enough to be near one of the theaters the Weinsteins dumped The Immigrant into), and I can't wait to see this, especially with how eloquently Gray speaks about it. I do think something in Gray interviews is lost when you can't hear his wonderful voice,

Steven Soderbergh is maybe the very blank checkiest director in history, and I'm not just saying that as a megafan.
